Good (A)fternoon

I just had an aMAEzing day.

No, I didn't fail 7th grade english. If you don't already know of MAE (Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience) then I encourage you to go check them out. But this isn't a propaganda piece. So tonight at the concert I bought a MAE shirt, the new MAE cd, a Locksley cd and a Locksley vinyl record. Oh no he didn't! Also, I got 2 free tickets to a concert on Thursday and a free sample cd of My Paper Camera from a friendly lady named Ellen. Not to mention these nifty 3D glasses from MAE.

But more than the music, more than the assorted goodies, today was amaezing because of friends. I enjoyed enjoying the concert with friends, old and new. Hanging with my boys is better than anything, and meeting pretty ladies is high on the list. After the show Max and his 2 friends left, and Colin M. and Logan P. joined me in a celebratory expedition to Pie Hole. What were we celebrating? No idea. Does it matter? Not in the slightest. It was time spent with friends, and I realized tonight that I haven't had enough of that lately...

On a debatably unrelated note, I felt a little hurt today. I had tried to get a certain friend to come to this concert with me, knowing my friend would have enjoyed it immensely, being just their cup of tea. My friend didn't commit to coming, but they also kept saying how much they wanted to come. Anyways, my friend finally texts me day of the show saying they can't come due to a volleyball game. Now, I don't mind my friend not coming (as much as I would have liked to see them), but it does grate my nerves that my friend would lead me on with the uncertain promise of joining me only to cancel last minute for something they had to have known about at least several days in advance. Maybe it's just me and my lofty ideals, but I don't think that's very friendly.

Anyways, I'm currently listening to my Locksley cd whilst (A)fternoon downloads. It's quite good, but I must say it's not quite the same as the live show. It's missing the energy and passion of the band so apparent on stage. Good cd nonetheless.
