YYY


I went to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live in concert this past week. Nick Zinner is my new "celebrity crush". I move pretty quickly in those waters. When I met James Franco he was my official celebrity crush. Back when the Lord of the Rings movies first started coming out Orlando Bloom was my main man. It cycles around based on whatever I'm exposed to at the time. You know how it is.

The show was so incredibly amazing words can hardly describe. It is right up there on my best concerts ever list along with The Horrors. They shot confetti Y's (which of course ended up down my shirt, like everything else....haha) and I grabbed a bunch. Fuck yes for free concert swag. Then Nick brought out his trusty camera and got a bunch of pictures of the crowd, I know I'm in at least one of those pictures. I'm happy about that. Even if it ends up only on his hard drive, I'm happy. I have never felt so gross after a show before. It was so hot, I was so covered in sweat (and not just mine, as all you concertgoers know).

My favorite memory was actually with the guy standing next to me on the floor. The band had just finished a song, and through all the applause I told him "You're really hot". He misunderstood, and replied "Yeah, aren't they so great?!". HA. I'm actually kind of glad he didn't understand me, It might have been embarrassing. I am, however, glad that I said it. It's the most upfront I've ever been with anyone ever.
