You can blame it on your heartbeat...

this is may ramble, i'm not sure yet. just fair warning.
sunday night i was lying in bed and couldn't sleep thanks to two drinks, only drinks mind you not the whole can, of sean's amp. i know that i should avoid that junk like the swine flu, but i wore myself out at work and still had a few hours to go. i didn't think that those two swallows would keep me up that night. i know that if i were to drink a whole can i would be awake for hours. anyway, back to trying to go sleep. i was lying there thinking, and somehow my thoughts wondered to the parachute show that would be happening in hollywood at the roxy the next night. something told me sunday night that i needed to be there. it's something i honestly can't explain. so after failing at convincing sean to go, i bought my ticket. now, i don't mind doing things myself. i've always had that sort of an independent spirit. i honestly felt a little nervous because i was going alone, and i've never ever done anything so spur of the moment, but i loved every minute of it.

the opening band was band called blueskyreality, and they were really good. good energy. their guitarist, though, looked like he was channeling pete wentz, not going to lie. that what i thought every time i looked at him.

the next band up was parachute. exciting! will was sick, and he said they wanted to cancel the show, but he would not let them. there were still amazing. i've seen parachute before, so i knew what will could do full voice. even sick, he managed to bring it. they did this song will had to teach himself how to play again called winterlove it was so awesome. they did a cover song that, for the life of me, i can't remember what it was. i can remember the melody and i have on the tip of my ear so to speak, i just can't remember the song. i knew it was played and it sounded amazing. i should stop saying amazing...there are a bunch of videos on youtube, i didn't take any of parachute because i wanted to enjoy the show, but here's videos of some of my favorite songs: the mess i made
blame it on me


next up was this band called safetysuit. i honestly had no idea who these guys were. i mean i went to see parachute and i almost left after parachute, but decided i should stay and see them. and oh boy, am i so glad i did. safetysuit is incredible. their lead singer, doug, is funny. when they started to play their big song, "stay."  i knew this song. i did. i knew the chorus at least. he stopped in the middle of the song and welcomed all the new fans who were new to safetysuit, into the safetysuit family. they did a new song called you don't see me which i managed to get video of:
i left a huge safetysuit fan, their cd, life left to go, has been on repeat since the show. it kinda replace sounds like this in my car--for the time being! it can't be eric hutchinson all the time!

there are times at shows when you do wish you had someone to share the moments with, like next to me was this lady who had to be in her mid-thirties--that's not old at all, but she was going on 23 or soemthing and she was really into the safetysuit show. that's not a problem, but it was just hilarious. it was just one of those funny you-had-to-be-there moments. there was this one other person there and we caught each other's eye and and we started laughing at her. overall experience, was awesome and i'm sooo glad i went.

in two weeks i have bob schneider and three weeks i get solo acoustic mraz! yay!
