sarcasm always wins out in the end

Okay, who's coming to see Fall Out Boy in London on March 6th? I call shenanigans! Especially drunken shenanigans! Who's with me?

i. My hard drive is fucked, but the nice people at the Mac centre tell me that it's easy to fix and falls under my warranty, so hopefully, I shall soon hold My Precious un my arms again(Yes, that is the name of my laptop, like you don't think of yours on similar terms).

ii. Fall Out Boy is playing UK tours, apparently - are they worth seeing live? I tend to cringe any time Pete opens his mouth (it's the I'm So Bad At Acting I Can't Play Myself -thing), but on the other hand, Patrick. *ponders* I'm thinking the London gig, possibly.

iii. I have realised that without my laptop, there is no reason to get out of bed in the morning. *sadpouts*

Cobra Starship playing more UK tours.

I saw Cobra Starship last night and they were fabulous. They were having so much fun and clearly just so happy to be there, and so happy that people knew the words. People were singing along from the first song (City Is At War) to Guilty Pleasure at the end, and everyone was clearly so into it. There were people with homemade Cobra t-shirts and all. A great show.

The thing is, though, that it was a fairly small venue and there were maybe a hundred people in the audience. This meant that we were able to get pretty close - I was with airinshaw, her sisters, and llassah, and we were standing on a sort of riser to the right of the stage, about two meters from the speakers and four meters from Alex Suarez. Which was great, in the sense that we could see them really well, but also meant that they could see us, which was, um, somewhat strange. I had eye contact with Alex a few times, and a bunch of times (six, seven?) with Gabe (probably because I was at the top of the riser, and closest to the stage), which was mildly unnerving and I sort of wanted to hide behind airinshaw. It's one thing for us to ogle them, see, and quite another for them to ogle back. Not that I was ogling VickyT's cleavage or anything. Cause that would be wrong. Even if it was magnificent and just, um, there.

Anyway, I was really impressed by Gabe Saporta's moves. *leers* And his hip-wriggling and all. He told a story about how he'd been shitfaced (his word *g*) at Give It A Name and crowdsurfed during Paramore's set, and how he'd ended up losing his glasses and his sidekick and everything, but some nice people had brough them back and given them to him at this show. Despite the numerous calls at their Myspace to publicise all the numbers and the pictures of his penis (again, his words). He also told us that after the show, they'd go to the bar underneath the club and continue drinking, which makes me think that at the UK tour, it really wouldn't be hard to meet these people. If you weren't, you know, embarrassed by the mere thought of eye contact with Gabe.

And yes, I was somehow compelled to make the fangs up sign. I blame the fact that Gabe Saporta has the filthiest grin known to man and that it's impossible to resist that. This, as airinshaw remarked, is how we know the cult-verse is true.

PANIC! CONCERT! SO MANY TEENAGERS!

On Sunday night, I shall be taking the train up to Newcastle to see My Chemical Romance in concert. I have successfully poked kabeyk into coming with me *pets cattleprod fondly*, despite the fact that she doesn't like MCR (although I have since then sent her The Black Parade and she has grudgingly admitted that it's not so bad). I've got my "teenagers scare the living shit out of me" t-shirt. Although, since it's November in Newcastle, I doubt it will get warm enough for me to take my jacket off for anyone to see it (I've got a seated ticket, so no rubbing off on warm bodies to get warm and sweaty. Sadly. But I can live vicariously through Frank Iero on this.)

I'm all set and wriggling with joy. How about you? *g*

[Poll #1085030]

Also, what do you think are the chances of there being any fondling/licking/kissing between Gerard and Frank?

Have bought a ticket for the Newcastle show. Am thinking of getting a t-shirt that says "teenagers scare the living shit out of me" for the show.

Okay, can anyone recommend a cheap B&B? *pokes flist*
