Weekend Away
Last weekend I went to Cardiff, with 3 of my best friends, to see Billy Talent.
I’m usually not very good at gigs, I get shy and usually stand at the back somewhere and listen with a beer in hand feeling self conscious. I’ve been to a few.. Incubus, Electric Six and Reading Festival twice but never really enjoyed it as much as everyone around me seemed to be.
This time was different.
I think there was a number of things that changed it but one thing stands out… I was with Lauren.
She made me feel incredibly relax, confident and happy with myself, more so than anyone else ever has and I love it!
It was the most awesome gig I have ever been to, Billy Talent has been my fav band ever since I first downloaded their album over 3 years ago. I’ve since bought their first album twice (an ex girlfriend stole the first one), loads of of merchandise and just last week their 2nd album.
We were in the Cardiff Student Union, Solus, quite a small venue but it made everything so much more intense. You could get so close to the band, and it sounded awesome no matter where you stood in the room.
I also managed to have some geeky fun whilst I was there, along with Lauren, my friends Stacey and Mike came with me, they are both single and looking so I turned on the bluetooth on my mobile and sent out their numbers to loads of people in the room with bluetooth enabled as business cards! Stacey got a reply and a few texts out of it!
I have not been working on Rails much this week, as much as I like it I have not really had the time, Lauren has been staying with me this week and we have been out and about doing all kind of things.
^^ A couple of Lauren’s Photos, she getting really good 
Sounds so much like me when I go out - I always find it annoying how people around me seem to be really letting go and enjoying themselves and I’m stood their worrying about what people think about me… Luckily I met some really great friends when I was living away, and they helped me relax more when I’m out!
