Depeche Mode Concert

Last night, Depeche Mode came to town. After a long week and much time spent looking forward to this, I'm glad to say I was in attendance. Justean and I ventured off to the venue with little incident this time (meaning not getting horribly lost like before). When we arrived, we noticed what a broad spectrum of fans Depeche Mode reached. There were a lot of drunken middle aged people, but besides that, there was a range of alternative types as well as more mainstream looking people. One thing is for sure that most everyone seemed excited to be there. In fact, at one point, I almost got in an altercation with a couple who was so excited, they decided to squeeze right in front of me and cut me off! Let's just say I got them to vacate my vicinity. 



It was a great night for a concert. The moon shone brightly, and looming rain clouds dissipated. As for the show itself, Depeche Mode knows how to work a crowd. They sound mostly the same in concert as on their albums. They even debuted some acoustic versions, which was a good variation to some of their more up-tempo songs. The whole crowd sang and danced (especially to "Policy Of Truth", "Enjoy The Silence", and "Personal Jesus"), and I was no exception; I sang and danced my little heart out. Depeche Mode said goodnight to the crowd after singing "Personal Jesus," but they came back for a 6 song encore. It was immense fun, and I recommend anyone to see their show.

Here are some shots of the Concert:











By the way, Happy Friday the 13th, everyone.

    Cool! I've never seen Depeche Mode in concert. Good to see they're touring and healthy. My favorite song is probably See You or Everything Counts. What great early 80's memories... :-)

      They played See you, but not Everything Counts. If they're ever in your area, they're worth seeing.

    Looks like fun! They're going to Florida soon, and I was planning on seeing them. Of course, then we moved so that plan went out the window...

      I know! They're going to Tampa I believe. I'm sorry about that.

    I am deeply, unabashedly seething with jealously.
    I grew up on D-mode, but never found a chance to see them live! How great that you got to, and shared it with us =D

      Thank you! It was a great show. I should have gotten seats instead of lawn tickets. It was so crowded, but I had a good time despite the fact.

    I am so happy for you, it looks like an amazing experience! From people I know that DM sound live exactly like in the recording, which is very rare for artists who play electronic music in my opinion.
    Glad you had fun! I will definitely see them next time when they tour, I hope I could have money.

    I'm glad you had such a good time and stood up for yourself when those excited people cut off your view. I'd have been screaming, "off with their heads!"

    I've been looking for someplace like this ever since I went under new management and started getting bored. Came here for the first time last week to see a friend.

Halloween Update: A Change of Plans

So everyone, I am a little disappointed to say that my Marie Antoinette costume is not a go this year. There has been so much piling up on me between things in my personal life, work, and school, that I have been unable to find the time to get the rest of my costume together. I bit off more than I could chew this year, but I know for next time to plan better. Perhaps you'll see the Queen next year... Although I will not be doing Marie Antoinette, I do have something planned that I can easily do with what I have! I will be using my red dress, a hat, roses, black lace and accessories, and of course some creative make-up, to throw together a Día de los Muertos costume. I think it might even be a better option this year, as I plan on visiting my aunt's house who has decorated her home in a  "Dead Hat Society" theme this year. If you don't remember the aunt to whom I am referring, here is the link to my post about her house.  I will take pictures! It's really spe

My Birthday!

Today (November 9th) was officially my 19th birthday! (It is also Dorian Gray's birthday.) Jessica, Justean, and I took a trip up to the beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia to go see Frankenweenie at the Swan Drive-In Theater. This was my first time going to a drive-in. They're very rare where I live, and Swan was highly recommended by my aunt. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my little celebration. The movie and the whole drive in experience were wonderful, and even the car ride was far from dull. Aside from the fact that I nearly got us killed on the drive up, I enjoyed being vulgar, singing badly, and laughing maniacally with my friends in the car.  Official Website The famous Blue Ridge Mountains. The beautiful Jessica I don't really know what to say...Justean's enjoying her funnel cake? Derp This is Cocoon Justean. This movie was so cute! It was pretty cold out tonight, at least to us, since we could see our breath. Taking the conver

My First Ghost Tour

source As you probably know, I'm now officially a ghostly tour guide in my town! I'm so happy about this. What were the chances of me finding a job where I get paid to be creepy and tell ghost stories?  Before tonight, I was a ghost tour virgin. I was a little nervous at first, but life has prepared me for public speaking since I've been on stage and done presentations before. Overall, I think it went pretty well. I had an unusually large group (19 people) of mostly serious older adults who appreciated the history more than anything else. My walking cane even broke a few times, there were 4 or 5 trains to go by during the tour (which is irritating), and my new shoes rubbed my heels raw. Despite all that, everyone seemed to have a good time and I even creeped a few people out! Here's what I wore minus the Top hat: I love my little coffin locket. :) And for your listening enjoyment:
