Columbus Ohio

I just got back from W Laf tonight. Drove home w/the windows down and sun roof open singing to Madonna It was good times. Went down there on friday to head to Columbus w/Lexie to see Tegan and Sara. We were so excited that they were finally coming to the midwest that we bought our tickets as soon as they mentioned somewhere remotely close to us. Turns out like a day later they announced they were coming to Indy which would have been only an hour drive for us rather than a three and a half hour drive. Oh well...it was Flippin awesome! The drive there was pretty easy. Lasy year we went to theRufus/Ben Folds show in Illinios. Today we were saying that every year we need to go to a show that is far away and make it a tradition.

So anyway, The venue was very close to the ohio state campus. The campus from what we saw was pretty nice...seems like a cool college town.

Ok, about the show....like i already said, it was a rockin good time! The newport music hall had this cool feel to it. We were pretty close to the stage and for the most part had a good view. Little Brazil and Communique opened for them. We had never heard of either of the bands but were really impressed w/them. After the show they were all out front by the merchandise and we talked to them. They were cool guys! The keyboardist from Communique is really dang cute! We got our picture taken w/him and the lead singer : )
So it was finally time for Tegan and Sara to come on and the crowd pretty much went crazy. It was exciting. I commented to Lexie how good their voices were live...I was impressed. They sang stuff from "So Jealous" and some of their old stuff too. It was all good. For their encore they sang the first song I ever heard of theirs/all time favorite song of theirs "My Number". It made me smile real big when I heard that song. The show was great! BUT THE NIGHT WASN'T OVER YET...

We walked outside and decided to walk down the back alley and lo and behold there was the tour bus...so we waited around for about 15-20 minutes to see if they'd make an appearance. We just passed the time chit chatting trying to decide if we'd see them or not. I happen to be looking down the alley and I say to alexa "dude there they are..." sure enough there was Tegan and Sara making their way over. So we are like "let's go!" and we walk up and all of a sudden I got way starstruck. I've never really met anyone "famous" before. We told them that the show was great! We asked if we could take our picture w/them and they were awesome and said sure. So we have this kick ass picture of us w/them. We also had them sign our posters too. Then we left so everyone else could see them. In the midst of everyone approaching them, some fan burnt Tegan on the arm w/her cigarette.

Well that's all. I'm glad we finally got to see Tegan and Sara Lexie! Oh and one last thing...Sara has a sweet hairstyle!
