Tomorrow's just a song away...

HOCKEYYYY. Fantastic show. The bands that they've been touring with were playing at SXSW today, so the opening act was a guy that the bass player knew, a local musician by the name of Ryan Sheffield. He was cool. I couldn't help but wonder if he's going to be the next Bob Dylan. I don't know what I'm talking about though, so don't mind me. Hockey were AWESOME, I've never come so close to full-out dancing in public, haha. It was a particularly amazing achievement tonight, because I was so depressed and lonely when I first got there. It seemed like everyone was part of a group except for me. That Ryan, though... Not only was he a great performer, but it was also a LOT of fun watching him and his girlfriend dancing during Hockey's set! Haha, such an adorable couple. Definitely helped me loosen up a bit, plus totally cheered me up as well. They looked like they were having such a good time, I couldn't help but smile. It actually worked out for me, not being part of a big group, cause after the show my brother and I got to hang out with Ben. He was seriously so, so sweet- even though he was sick, he still stayed and talked with us for a little while. He's a cool guy for sure. I hope the sunshine today and the hug last night made him feel better. You never would've guessed he was feeling under the weather from his performance; he did really well. I thought it was kinda cute that he had to stand on his tiptoes to make the harmonica reach the microphone. Hehe. But anyway... They all did really great, I'm just mainly talking about him cause he was right in front of me during their set, and he was the one I spent the most time with afterwards. They're all very cool guys, very friendly and awesome. There was an interesting moment with the keyboardist in which he was just inches away when I looked him in the eye and thanked him. See, I was on the floor and he was leaning off the stage, where he'd been packing up his gear. I didn't realize he was quite that close when I looked up from my ticket... Hopefully he didn't feel I was invading his personal space. It wasn't intentional, anyway.

The evening started with feeling lonely and ended hanging out with Ben Grubin...
I think that's a fair trade-off.
