Hello fellow gatherers

I am just popping in for a quick update. I am currently waiting out the clock to go to work. i am working a night shift tonight, which is very strange for me. but the nice part about it is it is in the neighboring town. so its a very short trip.

The Bright Eyes concert last night was awesome! the opening band "The Myna Birds" were alright, nothing amazing, but nothing horrible, the lead singer was actually in Bright Eyes as well, she did a good job on both parts.

Bright Eyes was AMAZING after 10 years of listening to and loving them i finally got to see them and it was worth it! They played almost their entire new album "The People's Key" which i didnt expect. But they also played a pretty good mix of songs off their previous 6 full length albums. Needless to say it would be impossible to fit everyones favorites into a show. But they tried their best and played for over 2 hours. which isnt all that normal for a show like this. it was great.

However i did learn a life lesson. NEVER run a mile and a half (when you NEVER run otherwise) right before you go to a concert that you are going to be standing in the same spot for 4 hours...oh my poor legs...lol

anyway, i am trying to clear out some of the 500 emails i have let pile up from gather, so i will be off viewing and commenting on everyones stuff.

Hope you are well!

 

What are you doing today?

Wow, it sounds like you're busy, busy, busy!!!! That concert sounds fantastic, but oh my, take care of your legs.....LOL!!!!! I got quite sick last night (late)........just too much running around, I think, but feel better today.
Have bunches of union papers to get filled out......you know, Ryan, I am so very thankful for our union and the gal over there who's helping me with everything....prescription meds coverage, hubby's disability (yep, he gets it through the union.....I hadn't known before!), retirement papers, etc.......
Ryan Reid Mar 15, 2011, 2:36pm UTC
glad the union is helping you out like that! hope you feel better soon!

Glad you had fun at the concert. I hear ya about leg pain. I had to quit my walks for so long because of one thing or another. I just started up again last week and I am still sore,lol. but, it's a good sore.
Ryan Reid Mar 15, 2011, 3:10pm UTC
i really need to get back into regular walking and running, i keep starting and then stopping again.
Audrey A. Mar 15, 2011, 2:58pm UTC
Ouch, your legs must have felt really sore this morning. Hopefully you're able to rest today :)
Pam S. Mar 15, 2011, 3:22pm UTC
Glad you enjoyed the concert. Don't work too hard tonight.
Nichole S. Mar 15, 2011, 3:40pm UTC
Have a good day at work! I'm staying home taking care of a sick baby :(
Ryan Reid Mar 15, 2011, 4:27pm UTC

Lori A Mar 15, 2011, 4:14pm UTC

Heather E. Mar 15, 2011, 5:27pm UTC
I am doing as little as possible. getting ready to make supper though. I never run. I think my foot surgeon forbade it.(maybe)
Debra C. Mar 15, 2011, 5:39pm UTC
Well, fortunately, its been a while since I ran a mile-and-a-half so my legs are fine.

Just stopping with hello.
Ryan Reid Mar 18, 2011, 5:58pm UTC
haha, i really need to step up my work outs...well...make more than a first step followed by the repeated mantra of "i'll do it later" lol

that way a mile and a half doesnt kill me, but is an every day thing.
Carrie Marie P. Mar 15, 2011, 6:15pm UTC
Just at work today; I am working an extra four hours today too. hooray for the money though!
Bernard C. Mar 15, 2011, 6:44pm UTC
Glad the concert was good - sure, standing room only is tiring as well especially after running - have a good nightshift - thanks for sharing :-) Have a class to attend a bit later
Susan G. Mar 15, 2011, 7:13pm UTC
Glad you had a good time.
Bryan R. Mar 15, 2011, 7:25pm UTC
I'm glad the Bright Eyes show was good. I'm still surprised this was the first time for YOU of all people to see Conor live.
Although it has been a long time for me. We saw them in Ann Arbor back in 2005 I think??? And it was a sit-down show haha. Yours was probably a little more exciting, minus the whole sore legs part haha.
Pamela Marks Mar 15, 2011, 9:03pm UTC
You will have to catch up later on my day when I get to it later I am just getting warmed on here today for the first time.
Risa G. Mar 15, 2011, 10:18pm UTC
I didn't know they had so many albums. I just heard about them a few weeks ago. Glad to hear the show was so good. I am glad U enjoyed yourself.
Ryan Reid Mar 18, 2011, 3:48pm UTC
hes been at it since he was 15, he also has a couple solo albums out, and does stuff with other bands constantly. he is a huge force in the music scene today.
dee b. Mar 15, 2011, 11:15pm UTC
I couldn't run a mile and a half. Maybe a few inches lol! Heck I would have been winded long before that. I could walk that and then some, cause I do it each day. Glad you enjoyed your concert, and hope work goes well too.
RedBird. B. Mar 16, 2011, 10:28am UTC
Ryan, Glad you got to go see the group. It does sound a great way to spend an evening, Seeing and Listening to your Favorite Music Group.
Katie R. Mar 16, 2011, 3:47pm UTC
Work work work ... Thats my life these days. But hey, that's a good thing ... Right?
Ryan Reid Mar 16, 2011, 4:07pm UTC
as long as you are working towards something, its good. if you are working and just barely surviving...its not so fun
Ed Da Head Toker Mar 16, 2011, 10:02pm UTC
