My entire Saturday was pretty much taken up by Dally even though I did manage to make a handful of notecards while waiting for everyone else to wake up. The weather cleared up beautifully for Dally; it was still pouring at 5am but by noon the rain stopped & the sun even came out for the rest of the day! Lots of fun walking around, hanging out, having people over at the apartment, & dallying in the alley. It seems to be becoming more of a hipster event as there's lots of custom made & thrift store vendors but not many African or weird/unique/cheap stuff that there used to be in years past (that I've been to). However, still a great time. They brought the electronic stage back & that was pretty cool. I think I really just enjoyed Dally a lot more this year because we had a great group, the weather was a lot better, & I was a lot more sober.
Sunday I stopped by Fairlane w/ Sarah & bargain shopped. First total purchase amount was $6.66...weird. Then, I went to the 89X birthday bash concert- Matt&Kim, My Chemical Romance, & most importantly, Blink182. In true Jo fashion, I somehow lost my ticket between getting it scanned in, going to the bathroom, & getting to our pavilion seats (where you have to show the ticket to gain access). Oops. But at least it all worked out in the end, they still let me through. Yay! Anyways, we didn't see the first band, MCR was substantially better than what I expected though my hopes were extremely low. They had great stage presence & I actually liked a song they played (whenever I think of them, I remember listening to one or two of their songs in high school & feeling depressed after haha). Blink was awesome, totally will go deaf sooner because of this concert but it was worth it. We were maybe 28 or so rows from the stage at DTE & in the center, good stuff. After being forced to watch videos of them playing live by Zach, I was expecting my eardrums to be bleeding from terrible singing. Luckily, they were on pitch & even though Tom lost his voice, good shoe. They have a really fun energy around them & it was awesome to watch them perform. It took us maybe 2.5 hours to get back to Tony's though w/ traffic & a taco bell stop.
Ironically, in OTC (over the counter) medications module, we talked about the eye & ear indications & drugs today. Guess what the leading cause of deafness is? Concerts. Rock on.
