hearts and stars

half the girl I used to be
Best…show…ever (well, one of them)…Ween at City Hall. Fanfreakingtastic. I get it now. I mean, I always liked them…in smaller doses…but I didn’t understand why people were so rabid for them. Now I do. Heck, I even bought a shirt. Silly.

I think the insanity from last week is starting to catch up with me. I just can’t seem to get enough sleep. I’m hoping to change that tonight. I’m sure the gargantuan cup of coffee I am drinking will help immensely, ha. The days seem so long and the nights so short. I want vacation back. I want to be able to sleep in (though I managed to wake up early every freaking morning—it’s the option that is nice). I want to finish every night on the beach with a bazillion stars in the sky and a beer in my hand (yeah, that has to be a song). I want that fantastic feeling of love and community that we all felt this time around to continue…sigh.

Ah well, reality is calling. I’d rather not answer, but I guess I better. Next week starts the budget…it’s going to take me forever to pay down my credit card after this car mess and all the trips this summer. Argh. It’s worth it, though.

I've always been *OK* with Ween, but I can't say I ever really got them either. What was it about the live show that did it for you?

elementalpete said it well, it was a really tight show…also very high energy and there was a solid band – audience connect. Also, from what I understand they are very diverse in the set list, so that kind of lingering anticipation amongst the diehard fans was pretty cool to witness.

I love that feeling when you've been listening to someone for so long and then you finally see them live and its like "Oh, I get it now!" The recent Hives show I went to blew me away like that.

Yeah! I still haven't seen the Hives, but I hear I need to. :)

I missed the Nashville show, but I saw Ween earlier in this tour when I was visiting Orlando... Their albums and even the live CD I had led me to believe that they played pretty sloppily, so I couldn't believe how tight they were. I was impressed as well.

Yeah! I saw them once before at Bonnaroo, but it wasn't anywhere near the same. I think I'll definitely try to catch them in smaller venues.

I've seen ween more times than I could possibly count, and I would have to say they are one of the top five live bands to see for me. I'm glad you understand now, they are flippin' amazing, especially when you are familiar with their catalog!
