My power concert series continues!!! Last night was the sold out Gotye and Kimbra show. I found out a few hours before that I won VIP upgrades so I got to watch the whole show from a side booth. It was an awesome experience and there were some super cool people who were there to watch the show with us.
Kimbra went on first and was absolutely amazing. The woman has some pipes! She was belting it out and dancing around the stage the whole time. "Cameo Lover" was a favorite of mine as I got to dance along with her.
Gotye hit the stage after Kimbra's set and was incredible as well. In addition to singing, he played drums and keys so he was always busy. He brought out Kimbra for "Somebody That I Used To Know" and that was a magical experience.
The big gripe that I had with the show had nothing to do with the performance but with the audience. It seemed like almost no one in the pit was moving the whole time and they weren't responding to the performers' energy. I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been for them as it was pretty frustrating for me. I'll never understand why people go to shows and don't get into it. I mean, how can you not?! Even if you don't know the music that well you can still bop along.
Anyway, that's a quick update. Today is Ellie Goulding's acoustic performance at the Mall of America. I'm legit giddy to see her again. Should be a great show!

O Canada 2012
I have some very exciting news!
This week, Osheaga announced their 2012 lineup. This lineup, which includes Metric, Feist, and many other great acts, is probably one of the greatest lineups I've seen for a festival in a long time, if not ever. I looked into my schedule, bank account, and at various travel sites and I came to the conclusion that I can actually make this work!
I'm super excited because I'm going with two friends, Steph and Merrijoy, who both like the same music that I do, so I know it's going to be a good time! Also, the festival is in Montreal which means I get to travel to Canada! I've never left the country before so I'm quite excited/nervous for my first international trip.
While I'll mainly be at the music festival, I should have time to do a bit of exploring of the city. I'm looking forward to trying some authentic (vegetarian) poutine and seeing what Montreal has to offer! I also can't wait to get a Montreal shot glass to add to my collection and possibly put the little French I know to use.
On a less exciting, but still exciting, note, I also scored tickets to see Gotye and Kimbra when they're here in two weeks! Some tickets were released for First Avenue members and I managed to swoop in and snag a pair for my roommate and I. That means that I'll be going to three shows that week and nine in April! It's going to be a whirlwind month but I'm more than a little excited.
That's really all the updates I have for now. I'm off to work on anatomy pre-work and study for my physiology test tomorrow. Wish me luck!
