OH MY FUCKIN GOD!!!!!!!!
This trip is really starting to sink in now but yet at the same time still seems so completely unbelievable, I mean really...why the hell would you fly all the way to the US from Australia to meet up with a crazy bunch of girls and catch 2 KOL gigs. You want to know why? Because i think deep down i am bloody insane :) This trip is so huge for me, leaving my world behind & everything i care about in it even though it is just for 9 days, never been out of Australia before, meeting girls i know fairly well yet have never spoken face to face with before, and the icing on that already unbelievable trip...Kings Of Leon, 2 gigs in 2 days *deep breaths* This really is happening!!
Today i have been packing a bit more, printing out all the ticket information for the flights, hotels and concerts, filled out the paperwork for my travel cash card so i can go get that tomorrow. I think I am actually organised, just got to wait this trip out.
I am sitting here at the moment listening to the guys do their thing, grinning like an idiot because in 25 days I will be seeing them again in a strange, totally new country. Every time i watch a youtube clip from one of their recent gigs i get butterflies because soon that will be us girls being in an arena with those guys. Will be my first time mosh pit at KOL too so that has added yet another level of excitement to this whole thing because they are going to be right there!!! Like literally right in front of me and thats just crazy in a completely great way!! I think back to when i first seen them live in Australia this year, how the whole evening blew me away so much that i then paid a stupid amount of money to buy tickets off ebay and flew to another state just because i HAD to see them again before they left Asutralia because who knows how long it would be before they came back and I would see them again. Never, in my wildest dreams did i think that here i would be, in the same year, 24 days away from flying to America to see tham again. Even Caleb would say i was fuckin insane for flying all that way to see them!!! But you know what? It is going to be so incredibly worth it, a new country bringing totally new experiences ( Do i really need to try grits??) and meeting new friends i feel like one of the luckiest people alive right now I dont know how much better life could actually get...ok, the Kings will play True Love Way, Soft, Trunk, Trani, Razz and Joes Head between their 2 gigs ( if i cant be so greedy just please for the love of all things Followill PLEASE play True Love Way!!) and we will get to meet atleast 1 Followill (Jared..did someone say Jared?? haha) while we are there..now if any of those things happened i think i could write this off as going to be the BEST TRIP EVER!!!!!
Apart from trying to survive the stupidly long flight to get to the US, then we get there jetlagged and have to get up at about 530am to catch a bus ride to Birmingham, KOL gig then do it all again the next day to get back to Nashville. Sleep?! What the fuck is that and who needs it? We're on holiday!!! Yet something else that will lead many people to the assumption that yes, we are indeed insane!!
Now after Birmingham/Nashville Leah and I are spending a few days in New York. I love New York, always been one of the places ive wanted to visit in the world and yet i cant seem to even get excited about going there yet. I think the whole Birmingham/Nashville part of the trip with KOL and meeting the girls is just fore front in my mnd and is pretty well all i can bloody think about! Must start making some plans for New York..am thinking statue of liberty, central park, empire state building for starters!
I think i have probably ratted on enough and you get the jist of just how bloody excited i am right now!!!! To all my girls enjoying this trip with me ~ Love you all, Can't wait to meet you all and BRING IT ON!!!!!
25 DAYS!!!!!!
Look what i just found...FINALLY!!!! TRUE LOVE WAY!!!! I love this song immensely..i had goosebumps watching it, just about had tears, sounded so good even though it looks like Caleb was having sound problems and it aint the entire song unfortunately but wow!! They gotta play this for us!!!
