Neil Finn!!! and the weekend!

[podling]

3 Neil concerts. All fabulous, all fun, all exciting. Wow. Speechless after each one, really. I just kept saying, "wow." and, "that was soooooo good. wow." Songs played so well. I never knew it could be like that. Never knew some of those songs could be played *THAT* fabulously! Seriously. The supporting people were all great, very talented bunch of people, (and I'm listening to a cd by one of them that I got there) and all in all the concerts totally rocked. I mean, really, I could go into specifics, but ohmigawd, just... whatever, it was a deeply moving experience for me. Each venue was different yet cool, each set different but amazing, each crowd dynamic different. So much I could say, but no. It would've been amazing for most people, would probably have made converts of people who weren't fans. But for those that were, there were seriously looks of rapture on peoples' faces. Truly great.

The trip to Boston was interesting. Got pulled over on the way, in the same spot where I got my only other speeding ticket, several years ago. Got let off with a warning this time though. Which is good, because there was absolutely no way I was going as fast as he claimed. I mean, I'm not going to lie and say I was going the speed limit, but I was absolutely not going that fast. So we argued at crosspurposes. I said how fast my speedometer read, he told me how fast the radar gun clocked me at. All I can say is that the guy who was going 83 in front of me is damn lucky he didn't get caught.

So anyway, I didn't get to hang out with my brother like I wanted. Or any of the other people that I know in Boston, for that matter. I think I'm going to have to go up there for a weekend with no other purposes, unlike normal. No family functions, no concerts, nothing. Just time to hang. Soon. Hopefully in August. So much to do all the time though!

"rapture" - absolutely.

(see my journal astrophysicat for more details).

I totally thought we were going to get a ticket. I think the fact that our backseat just had pillows and tennis rackets in it helped. Well that and the munchkins we were eating, you with a napkin over your shirt under your seat belt.
