i havent posted in ages. and this will explain why. ive been working ridiculous hours to pay for this here that im about to explain...
I'M FOLLOWING BRIGHT EYES ON THE EAST COAST LEG OF THE U.S. TOUR FOR 2011
that's right
14 shows
11 states and canada
17 days
AND THE STROKES IN LAS VEGAS on one of only two days off on the tour. just for good measure.
you see bright eyes is very important to me. like with many other fans bright eyes let me know i wasnt alone. i wasnt crazy. and (with saddle creek records) that there is life outside the mainstream. and it set me free. i was 15.
but also i am a conor oberst lolfan. there will be no conor-swooning from me. i think he's great but i have no interest in his body fluids or his love life unless there is a LOL involved.
when they came to sydney i was 17. and i remember standing outside the metro with ngoc, forlorn. devastated. and now im a full grown adult i plan to make it up to my 17 year old self by just throwing myself into this tour.
i mean it's not just bright eyes. the thrill and chaos of the tour is also very appealing. just something crazy i guess to celebrate me graduating my bachelor (finally).

Hi! I'm not sure how often you check this blog (and also I don't understand blogspot so maybe this isnt the best way to go about contacting you?) but i saw from fortheloveofconor on tumblr that youre following the first leg of the tour! my roommates and i are going to 8 of the shows (one of which was the show in atlanta on friday) so I figured we should definitely get in touch. probably the best way to contact me is facebook (http://www.facebook.com/amy.whitenack) we'll be at the chicago/champaigne/nashville/austin shows next week. looking forward to hearing from you, and ENJOY THE TOUR!!! (so jealous!!!!!)
