second tegan and sara gig in ireland. i went over to dublin on an airplane to see them. the flight was ok. except the landing, where the pilot pointed the plane down at the ground and accelerated. we were too high up and too close to the runway so we needed to kill some height.
me and my dublin guide wandered around dublin for most of wednesday. we arrived in the centre at about 1.30 after getting the train, which was square:
we had a lovely time walking around, and arrived for the gig 6 hours after the first people, who had been waiting outside since we arrived in dublin (6 hours!!!!!). they started to let people in at about half 7, and once inside the gig, i managed to get backstage through a series of interesting events.. and had a conversation with sara, then left. i watched the support and then tegan and sara play:
and after the gig, i used this backstage pass:
to sit this close to sara, after being formally introduced to them both as 'this is maddie, she's flown over from sheffield to see you':
and then we all shook hands and said nice goodbyes and thank you's, and me and min got the bus to her home, and chatted for a while, then went to sleep.
while i was in dublin, i missed the earthquake.. my mother didnt, and i got a text from her saying there had been one. i wouldnt have known if she hadnt texted. so thats the only bad things that came out of my tuesday wednesday and thursday. except being thoroughly frisked and searched on my way out of east midlands airport.
this entry is very long, and its maybe a good thing that not a huge amount of people read this.
