woooo!

I saw Flogging Molly live at the irish fair last night! omgfoeamfng it was awesome! Like they are amazing live, so much better than recorded because it's faster and the lead singer, who's an owner would like randomly go "people of minnesota!" during parts of a song. he was really hilarious. People kept on throwing their flip flops on the stage, at the front (we were like in the middle, it was an outdoor stage) and a beach ball was making rounds of course so he was like "where the hell are we, hawaii?" I couldn't see unless I stood on a chair, but the music was waay loud enough. I think my ears are still ringing. The best song was probably... devil's dance floor because the whistle is amazing live. Speaking of which, recently the lead singer married the fiddlist/whistler, which was weird because they'd been in the band together forevs.
Anyway at the end of the concert the stage went dark and they left, predictably, but nobody left and kept on clapping so the lead singer (David King) came back onstage. And he did Black Friday Rule, which is like the hardest song they have, with just him and his guitar! blahg, but it was still cool because it takes amazing skills to hold that big of a stage by yourself. And the band joined in like half way through, which was ownage and then even further after that they played Seven Deadly Sins because nobody was leaving yet. so that was extremely epic.

The Irish fair was cool, even besides Flogging Molly :-o If you decided to people watch, you would have been rewarded. There were a couple crazy bright red mohawks (how do you get a job with one of those??) plenty of kilts, and a bunch of awesome flogging molly T-shirts like mine. We didn't want to waste our food tickets so at the end we got a bakers dozen of "Maggie's Irish Cookies" we thought we should have a discount because we had a connor, a patrick, two johns and a maggie there. But we had a feeling that pretty much everybody there was named after a Saint.

Oh speaking of which, I was reading Breaking Dawn and it was talking about members of an Irish Vampire Coven and one of the members was named Maggie. And I'm like heckya, I'm a member of an irish vampire coven???!!! plus her character in the book was cool, what we saw of her, naturally. But not nearly as cool as Garret(t?) the revolutionary guy. he was a big owner, same with the Romanians. But they were more like big creepers.

So yeah, the Olympics opening ceremony was INSANE. (they should have spent some of that money on earthquake relief o.O) Like they did so many things! Only one of them would have still been memorable! But it was still awesome! Go China! it really sucks about the stabbing thing, like I feel really sorry for China, that must have been embarrassing. and of course the stabbed person...

bai. sorry if my thoughts were disjointed. my flow is MIA.
