Last night was... a zero.

The music was absolutely amazing. Lee and Higgins were both exceptional and, for them, I am so glad I went. Missy even let some clangers slip, even after acknowledging that it was an All Ages gig - she called herself the Support Slut as she'd "done the rounds ;D" at the Enmore (funnily enough right before singing Angela), then swore both times she realised she was singing the wrong lyrics to the most serious songs she's written. There was also a Fuck in there, and plenty of Bloody-s. She's so Aussie it hurts. AND I FUCKING LOVE HER!!

The night itself, however, was fucking horrible. I was alone. The entire night. And it sucked. An hour of standing in line/sitting in my seat (completely alone in my row for at least 3/4s of it) before Lee, then another hour of sitting after he'd played his set (of 30 miutes) before Missy came out. That may be the normal kind of set-up time at a concert, but it seems a lot longer when you're alone. Trust me.

So, two hours of loneliness, back-soreness from the seat, and self-consciousness from said loneliness, for two awesome acts. It evens out exactly. Hence, last night was a zero (on a scale of -10 to 10). Which sucks, because I was really hoping for a ten. Hell, the music alone was a ten, if not more. And before those of you who know the story of why I was alone jump to conclusions, it wouldn't have mattered either way: no one wanted to come see Missy. Something I fully do not understand, but do grudgingly accept.

*sigh* You'd think after how Wednesday's Stolen Ticket incident could have turned out, the night would have been good. That that would have filled my bad-musical-experiences quota for the week. But no.

Same rules, though, it seems

why do I reach for the unattainable
you're supposed to set difficult goals
not impossible

why do I settle for second best
a cure for desperation
is never happiness

maybe I should just switch off to you
thoughts of you are always dangerous
just stop the thoughts
and go to sleep


In other news, I'm thinking of going to see Katie Noonan and Missy Higgins in May. There's a bit of a clash, but I can see both, just not with [livejournal.com profile] citizenerased. Or I could skip Katie, but... :S I dun wanna :'(. Of course, if I can't rustle up any Katie fans, I'll probably just end up going to see Missy.

There are some desicions to be made once I've had some sleep.
