So, here's the thing;

Celtic Thunder was absolutely fantastic. It was beautifully put together, their voices were astoundingly perfect, they all looked amazing, everything about it was stellar. I would actually go so far as to cal it the second most life changing event, after journalism camp this summer.

We had pretty good seats. We weren't nearly as close as I would have liked to be, but we could see everything. The majority of the crowd was over 60, had a walker, wheelchair, or cane, and smelled funny. And then there was also the skanky superfans (not me, i was very clothed) who came decked out in hardly anything.

The opening (Heartland, look it up on YouTube. It's even better in person) actually made me cry. Not for any real reason, apart from that ti was so powerful, like, it was such a rush that i was actually there, watching them live.

I lost most of my voice screaming at the top of my lungs whenever Keith or Damian came on stage.


Oh, and I bought this shirt:



(woah, my arms are totally not that skinny. the whole picture is wonky, but it shows the shirt.)
no, they aren't actual signatures, they're printed on, but i still think it's super cool.

So yeah, this whole thing got me thinking about life changing events.

you could share some of yours if you really wanted to.

sorry, charlie said...

When I read the title on my blog follower.. thing, I thought 'oh, what went wrong?' considering most people don't tend to start with 'here's the thing' & then talk about everything great that happened.

I'm glad you had a good time there (: Besides the old people & the scantily dressed people & losing your voice. I've never been to a concert, but I'm thinking if I ever went to one I wanted to, it'd probably be Coldplay. They're one of my favorite bands as it is, but I've heard they're powerful live. I don't know if it's true, but still. (:

/really boring comment.
