system of a down & gogol bordello are going to be performing. together. on one stage. i mean, not at the same time, but i wouldn't be surprised if at least one song came together in some kind of glorious musical harmony.
at verizon amphitheatre. i used to drive past it all the fucking time. i saw no doubt there.
this month.
i can't fly home. too expensive. $500+ for a couple bands? my parents would kill me.
so sad. so so so sad.
sitting here listening to gogol bordello and moping. as much as one can mope while listening to gypsy punk. so...not really moping and more like just being angry in an upbeat way.
i was lucky enough to see gogol bordello once. it was AWESOME. it was less a concert and more like one giant party. i remember that as one of the happiest moments of my life. dancing around in a circle with a bunch of people i didn't know. it was...fantastic. idk. there are no words unless you've gotten a chance to go to a show of theirs.
i have never been lucky enough to see SOAD, but they're been one of my favorite bands since high school. lol i used to sign this blog as "mrs. tankian" which was ridiculous, but can give some insight into just how much i fucking love this band. i've listened to them evolve over the years, and i feel like it's in some way a reflection of my own personal evolution. i don't really listen to any of the same bands i listened to in high school, because they either don't exist anymore and/or i just grew out of that phase of pure RAGE and angst. but SOAD has been a band i could listen to whenever. i used to say i wanted to see them before i graduated hs...then college. and now med school. sigh.
very very upset. unfortunately it's one of those things i just can't do anything about, but i'll be silently bitter about it for a long time.
