i wanted to rave about this band months ago because i just adore them but i seemed to never find the time. friendly fires is an amazing band from england and i had the opportunity to see them last night. my favourite song, strobe, came on when i was standing in the handicapped washroom at lee's palace covered in ceiling tile dust and debris and i was laughing.
it's funny how things happen to some people. i always feel like when stupid things happen that it's for a reason. examples: getting stuck in the elevator last summer or getting hit by a car this summer. getting hit in the head by a ceiling tile with an obvious caving in ceiling (no pun intended with dance cave being above it) takes the cake, so far. i didn't particularly like spending the night in the emergency room in toronto with other people and one doctor and a very cute intern but shit happens. i couldn't help but laugh and laugh and cry from laughing so hard at the situation. how does this shit happen? especially when you have to wear a mask because they think you have swine flu when really it's just a cold.
well anyway, the first half of the friendly fires set was amazing. ed can surely dance his ass off. that was epic. two more shows there to go. maybe i should dust off that old skating helmet of mine before heading out. nah. what's the point anyway?
i should roll in at 6 more often. not really. trying to out run the daylight and stay in the night is unsettling to me. i like to watch light become dark but not dark become light because, well, the best things happen in the night and lightness washes it all away.
