Yikes, I go and meet Neil Finn, tell you all about it, then I float around in this haze of happiness and contentment for three days and completely ignore my blog. Bad, bad blogger. I'm still on a bit of an adrenaline rush from Friday night's meeting, let me tell ya. Wow. I guess because I wanted to meet him for so long, it's taking me a while to float back down to earth or something.
I have two more Crowded House shows this week. If there are any other meet and greets, I don't know what I would do with myself. I maintained my composure for 20 minutes in front of him, but I don't know if I could repeat that feat. Mike asked me as we were driving home from that show who would be on my "I want to meet them" list now that I'd met Neil, and I really had no answer for him. Neil was the only one on that list for me. Although, I suppose, I really wouldn't MIND talking to him again... LOL!
Anyway, I am in a bit of a design lag at the moment, although it's through no fault of my own. My current computer is misbehaving so much that until the new one comes in (and it's been delayed until later in August due to the model that I ordered), I'm basically not doing any designing. Which is hard for me because I am actually feeling quite creative at the moment. I also have PSCS3 just waiting to be loaded onto the new computer. I don't even want to bother putting it on this computer, really, because my USB port cuts out so much that I wouldn't be able to use it. I can do my day-to-day stuff on here with the touchpad, but I have to design with the mouse or the Wacom (both of which require the USB connection). So I won't have any freebies for a while. Sorry!
Sunday night, we went to see The Police at Giants Stadium. It was a fun show, and the band sounded really tight. I was just glad they've managed to stay together long enough for us to see them live on this tour. I was supposed to see them on the Synchronicity tour and for the life of me I can't remember now why I couldn't go to the show back in the day. Regardless, Sunday night was fun and they pretty much played everything I wanted to hear (although I really could have done without "Every Breath You Take," but I have a feeling there were people in the audience who would have rioted if they hadn't played it). I didn't take any photos, though, as I forgot to charge my cell phone on the way to the show.
Tonight is Deep Purple at Radio City. I'm looking forward to it. I just want to hear "Hush" live and then I'll be happy... Wednesday and Thursday nights are the Crowded House shows. Then I will sleep a lot until next week, when we go to see Styx/Def Leppard/Foreigner with Melissa and her hubby Bill. Woohoo! Concert-o-rama!
