I am going to deviate from my New York preparation a little and talk about my absolutely amazing night!!! I am going to geek out a little bit and talk about the concert I went to this evening in Saint Augustine!
LOCAL NATIVES.
If you don't know them, you should. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!! I inadvertently discovered them earlier this year when I was downloading some things on itunes, and somehow their song "Airplanes" ended up in my purchased items. Though I never wanted to "purchase" this song, I am so glad my computer decided to download it for me. I listened to it once, and then all of a sudden it was on repeat, and I was buying their entire debut album "Gorilla Manor" and telling all of my friends about them. I have not been able to stop listening to their album since I bought it, and as soon as I found out they were coming to my town, I bought myself, and two of my close friends a ticket.
Tonight (well technically last night) was the concert, and I definitely had a mini freak attack. As soon as we pulled up to the venue I saw that they were standing outside, and I knew we would meet them, and we did . . . several times. I have been to quite a few concerts, but this one was definitely the best one yet, and it will be difficult to top. I was right next to the stage, I literally could have touched them if I wanted to, but I refrained from doing so. The thing that impressed me most about them, was not their musical talent (which is very impressive), but they are all very genuine, and very nice guys. Though my friend and I maybe got a little to excited, they stayed and took pictures with us (they even made silly faces in one of them), and never once seemed annoyed.
So I guess what I am trying to say is... I love Local Natives! I had the best time ever, and I will gladly see them again!!!
