Gentlemen of the Road
The obvious choice of music on the train, a song that they sadly didn't play!
Me and my sister getting excited on our way up
Frida, the second person I was there with <3
Two bands played before M&S. First called Half Moon Run and second Mystery Jets. These two pictures are both of the latter because I didn't get a good one of the first. Music wise it was alright. They both had their ups and downs, but it must be incredibly ungrateful to play before Mumford & Sons, when everyone just wants them to get on stage. Here I'm gonna have to say I was impressed with the two people behind me who managed to talk loud and all the time during the two preformances. It was awesome listening to you! They thankfully managed to shut up when the important part of the evening started, or shut up is not very accurate. The second Ben, Marcus, Winston and Ted get on stage the place erupts with screams and excitement and I was in heaven. Finally I saw them again!
To top it off they suddenly invite some guests to the stage. None other than the amazing First Aid Kit. According to the guys (and me) these girls make some of the best music in the world. They played Lions Roar together and it was incredible. I love both these groups and to see that they are fans of each other was awesome!
After the first encore which was The Cave (awesomeawesomeawesome) everyone got on stage and they played The Weight (a great Bob Dylan song).
I also bought my new favorite shirt. A Hopeless Wanderer Mumford & Sons shirt. My favorite song from my favorite band illustrated on a shirt: I'm in love <3
This was such an awesome night it's hard to describe, it could only have gotten better if they had played Hopeless Wanderer, Below My Feet or Broken Crown too. But a girl can't have it all and they did play White Blank Page with the first three words of that song having the power to send me on an emotional roller coaster. Tears of joy or happiness I think it's called ♥
See you next time guys! ♥
I will call you by name, I will share your road
There are a lot things happening. Some I can write about now, some not just yet.
First of all. Tonight is the night. I'm seeing my favorites again, and it's going to be amaaaaaaziiiing!
Also I cut my hair like 10 cm shorter, not by choice, but it had been too long since the last time (I think May last year..) :
I met up with Olivia, my dear friend I met as an au pair at her house I've heard so many stories about, so that was great! Too bad she lives in Norway now...
I went to the cinema twice. Once this Sunday with my sis watching Jack the Giant Slayer and then yesterday we got tickets to The Hunt. Two completely different movies, one a big ass production with animations, the other a Danish movie with very little special effects. I have to say I liked the Danish one the best. I had little expectations for it, those surprises are the best! It's a great movie, with the theme of something so easily happened. And Mads Mikkelsen is amazing! Jack the Giant Slayer is fun and if you like Nicholas Hoult you should see it, though I'm more excited to see him in Warm Bodies next week!
Another big thing that's going on is that I started 8 weeks with no sugar on Monday. Which I'm actually am pretty excited about, even though I won't be eating bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, chocolate, candy etc. Or drink alcohol for that matter. There's this book that inspired this idea called Sockerbomben (the Sugar Bomb), which is a book about being addicted to sugar and what sugar does to you. And because nearly everyone eats sugar everyday it's a pretty important thing to know. I'm not addicted, but I still want to see how my body feels without it and then after the 2 months have a life style with considerably less sugar. If some extra weight disappears in the midst of all this that would just be a bonus!
Other than that I'm trying to get a job, planning my future, doing tests that go really well, apply for university, Skype with Alistair again, seeing Julia again (met her in September when she started her 6 month trip in North and mostly South America), beeing jealous of my Boston friends and family for travelling like they do or for the weather there. 20 C and sun and here it actually snowed today.
Tomorrow I'll be back with pictures and memories from tonight and it will be awesome.
