ok, big news. NO DOUBT WILL BE ON TOUR THIS YEAR!!!
the dates haven't been released yet, but i'm really hoping for a show nearby. they're touring w/ Paramore (not too familiar w/ this band. i know the singer's a girl, though). i'm already developing a plan to donate plasma for ticket money (since funds are running a lil short lately). if anyone would like to join me, we could make a weekly fun day out of it. i've driven by that place a few times with intentions to stop, but then i see what kinds of people are standing outside, and frankly i'm scared to go it alone. anywho, if this plan doesn't work out, i saw on Craigslist that Graham is hiring shot girls...
now, back to the big news. i was lucky enough to see ND play Voodoo Fest several years ago (2002?). even though i literally could not move (at one point, the crowd was so tight that i raised both feet off the ground at the same time and was held up by the people around me!) and i lost my flip flops (bad idea) in the muddy ground below me, it was an awesome show!! good times. good times. i sometimes wonder if my shoes are still buried in City Park!
also, i saw my friend Gwen in Houston a few years ago (with my real friends/concert goers, Sarah and Ashley) when her 1st solo album was out. that show was amazing. the costumes were just so cool! i secretly wanted to be one of her Harajuku girls, but i think i'd look a little out of place on many levels: 1. i'm not Asian / 2. i'd look like a freaking giant next to any of those short gals / 3. i lack in the dance skills department
anywho, i just have to see ND on tour this year. and they're playing a bunch of their old stuff. Gwen thought this tour might help to inspire their new album, so i think they'll be super pumped to play songs that everyone knows. (she told me this last time we chatted, btw)
i'll share more info. once they announce dates/shows. YAY!!! later gators
