Frost and Fortune's Favor
Nov. 2nd, 2008 06:53 pmNovember comes cold and raw. A photo from Halloween morning, frosty leaves and grass at work. Couldn't get my fangs to sit right, nor did I have confidence that fake nails would be the best thing to wear when I needed to be chopping back shrubs, so festivity was out... My crazy cat lady costume worked well for the (relocated) party/gathering that night, though. I... have a lot of Beanie Baby cats, I now realize. Heh.
As was evidenced in comments in yesterday's entry, the Great Big Sea concert was AWESOME. So much fun. So much good music. Lots of stuff from their new album, most of the good ones from their older albums (with the noted exception of 'Lukey', much to Sydney's disappointment). Much clapping, dancing and singing happened. Murray entertained us all with a solo Elvis Costello piece, which was simply delightful. Their drummer's name is Chris. He does the backup singing on 'Hard Case', which was nice to see and hear! I got chills when they played 'England'. I think I startled Syd a bit when I burst into tears at the opening of their third (!) encore when it was just Alan, and his acoustic guitar, playing 'Boston and St. John's'... I don't even know exactly why I did... It was beautiful... emotional... gah. Some songs make me cry anyway, I just didn't expect it then.
They're playing in Lebanon, NH tonight, in just under an hour... I don't think I can make it... there is dinner that needs to be made, and laundry to sort...
Had a nice (if yawn-filled, why so tired after 10 hours sleep?) visit with Jon today. Sounds like I missed a good Bare Blade, but it will be there next year.
