Garbage concert
On Sunday I met up with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pouncer and two friends of hers I didn't know for Thai food and then the Garbage concert. At the Fillmore, which I'd never been to before, and which has cool chandeliers. We went up to the balcony because the place was already packed when we got there. The opening band was called Io Echo and I enjoyed their sound a bunch. I kinda wanted to get one of their albums but after the show it was still packed and I had to run catch the metro so I didn't.
Anyhow, it was not as intense as when I saw Garbage last year and we were right up in front and I swear Shirley Manson made direct eye contact with me a few times (as she did with many people in the crowd) but that is fine because I had that already. We didn't have the greatest view but the music was AWESOME and they did little mash-up covers of Madonna and Fleetwood Mac and talked a lot about how much they loved their fans and how they wanted all of us to have a good time. And we did.
After the show I felt very energized and happy which made it hard to fall asleep when I got home and in bed at 1am and had my alarm set for 5:45am as per usual to go to work. Luckily at 5:34am I got a text saying there was a two hour delay due to snow so I reset my alarm and went back to sleep for two more hours (and then had a very upsetting dream unfortunately). When I woke up we had two or three inches of snow around the house, and the whole world was white - white snow on the ground, white clouds in the sky, trees all white from snow just barely tracing their shapes against the clouds, more big fluffy white flakes still falling. It was very gorgeous. But the roads were clear so I went in to work and the snow turned to rain and then Tuesday was warm and there was no snow left anymore anywhere. So quickly it melted.
