What a wonderful time I had in Ottawa! From the drive with emufarmer - what a riot this girl is! - and b4beth - she rocks!!!, to the concert to our little adventure in the rain, this was one of the most fun I've had in a long time. The drive to Ottawa was so much fun! Those 5 hours went by so quickly with those two girls. We chatted almost non-stop all the way to Ottawa, listening to INXS, giggling like schoolgirls (we did a lot of that in Ottawa). :)
The concert was AMAZING! JD's voice was spot on, almost perfect. The best I've heard him so far. WOW!!! He started with Suicide Blonde of course, wearing a magnificent pink shirt and a fitted blazer. *poof* *thud* *dead* right there! He looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good in pink. They did Hot Girls which rocked live (still prefer the album version, but it's a great song for a concert!) and they played Perfect Strangers for us!!!! WOOHOO!!! How freaking happy I was to hear that one. The rest of the set list was the same as before. No Disappear tho. I think my favorite of the night was Never Let You Go again. Andrew was bouncing at the keyboards, shaking his maracas, it was sooooooooooo cool to see him do that! Taste It was completely AMAZING, even without the mike stand sex. They did an extended bridge, and we were treated to a long, wonderful, beautiful jam session, featuring mostly the wonderful guitar work of Mr. Andrew Farris. WOW!!!!! Seriously, as much as I love the mike stand sex, it really was great to hear and feel the music, and have Andrew be featured like that. It was great!
My ticket was 2nd row, last seat on the side aisle. The front row was shorter, so I had no one in front of me, but I was so far off to the side that I couldn't see very well. I had moved to 2nd row dead center, but the seat owners showed up, and so Rouquine and I moved to the 3rd row, dead center. I FREAKING LOVED IT!!! I had an awesome view of everyone, especially Jon. His eyes were so sparkly last night! He was playing a lot with the front row people, throwing smiles and making eye contact a lot. Kirk was awesome, and acknowledged me two or three times, smiling and winking. :) I love me some Kirk! Tim was ON FIRE at the beginning of the show, bouncing around and having fun. He didn't venture to much on Kirk side, but I saw plenty of Timmy, and I loved it. During Need You Tonight, during the part "I'm lonely, Can't think at all, Gonna Live my life", he makes some little gestures to go with the words, and I did them with him. He smiled at me while we "danced" together, it was cool. :) Andrew got a huge crowd reaction when he came to the front to play his guitar (can't remember which song). He had fun on NLYG, and it's just great to see him have such a blast. At some point JD was smoking, and he gave a puff to Andrew, who took it and nodded his head at him. Garry came up front a whole lot last night, and he looks really, really good. Love his "new" look! He doesn't interact as much with the crowd, but I love watching him play and really get into the music. He makes the best faces while playing!
JD... I had such a clear view of JD last night. His voice was perfect! I had my first, albeit quick, eye fuck, then a second, then a third (I think). They were brief, only a sec or two, but *thud*... Maybe I imagined this, but I don't care! JD looked at me and his eyes said I was beautiful and I ate it up! *LOL*
How delusional am I, really? *LOL*
I'm glad I got to see the band at Massey Hall, in such an intimate venue, and tho I missed that last night, JD is growing so much as a performer, and the show was even better than at Massey Hall (in my opinion anyway). JD did his little rap thing, and rapped a few more time here and there, and introduced the band on Taste It while singing. I love that he is putting more and more of himself in the show. It feels like the songs are really his now.
After the show, we wanted to go to that bar a 448er invited us to. No taxi in sight, and it was pouring rain! We had quite a nice time in the rain tho. :) But after being soaked like we were, we ended up going back to the hotel, dried ourselves up, and b4beth, emufarmer, suzieblue (the best roommate ever!!!) and I hung out in our room, drinking, talking, giggling, laughing our asses off. There's a basketball team out there that will never be the same thanks to us! ;)
The drive back home was great with suzieblue. Thanks so much girl!!! *hugs and kisses*
Rouquine, thanks for the chips you left in our room. ;) And thanks for being such a great concert buddy! I love seeing you pee your pants everytime JD would jump. I think I got more enjoyment at seeing you squee than seeing JD jump! Although I too find it pretty hot... ;) I LOVE YOU!!!
Sernie, it was really, really nice to meet you and your friend! Has she been converted to the power of the BSC yet? ;) I hope to see you again soon!
aussiemomma, you are one hot babe! I'm so glad you got to see the band from the front. You are a blast and I love your accent!
d75scorpio, you are a riot girl. Thanks for the shooter! And I agree with you - that mike stand is either pregnant or having its period! ;) You are too funny! Are you coming to TO? *hint hint*
ottawafan, it was so nice to meet you and your daughter! I'm sorry we didn't get to chat more, but I'm glad you came to the restaurant. What an awesome time we had!
To my partners in crime - b4beth, emufarmer and suzieblue... Girls, I love you, and I had a blast with you three. We may not have ended the night the way we would have liked it, but the umbrella sure was nice!!! I'd do the EXACT SAME THING over again if given the choice! Well, except maybe for the part where we were only 4 in the cab...
TO tomorrow!!!
