death cab death cab!!!

now how great is this.
upon waking up on saturday, there was a new message waiting for me on my mobile.

Ruth Feeney:
Death cab are coming to syd in august. I think im going
do you want me to see if there are still tickets?

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE people! music maestros from which gave birth to brilliance like Transatlanticism and Plans. musos whose songs meant alot to me in different stages my life.

For a moment i'm not sure whether i'm dreaming so i look around and yeap, the cheapass ikea clock is showing the same time as my mobile is, im wearing the same stuff i went to bed with, Sufjan's Illinoise album inlay is still adorning my wall so YES! THIS IS REAL!

oh but wait. msg was sent at 12:16pm and now is like err, 4 something. oh no that means 4 precious hours in the land of frentic-concert-ticket-grabbing! so the next few things happened in a flash.

1.tumble outta bed (couldn't really see coz the eyes were still being a bitch and not wanting to open properly hence just throw self outta bed)
2. quickly turn on lappie. oh wait its in standby mode. thank God for Windows.
3. visit www.yourgigs.com.au to check whether its not a prank. and yes its real which is weird cause they usually give more time between announcing gigs and ticket selling day.
4. found out ticketek is selling them. so furious clicking is a must because that SO increases the speed of page loading by firefox.
5. find their gig listing and there's still FLOOR TICKETS!! AHHHH!! WOOOHOO!! YEEHA!!
6. jumped around in circles exclamining OH YEAH BABY!! repeatedly.

DAMN DAMN HAPPY YOU KNOW!! come on everybody rejoice with me. alright i know im going abit overboard but i really like them ok. some more its floor tickets! man i must say this is gonna be one of the best things of this year to ever happen, besides if things do work out with her of course. and cant wait to check out the merch! mel has already decided to go for the apple shirt or whatever she calls it from the website and she too is duly excited. oh well now back to trying to study

im going to see these guys live!
