I hate February

So many awesome bands.
So many gigs.
Not enough time, money or parental concent.

So far the plan is:

Feb 5th - K! Tour, Camden
Feb 6th - K! Tour, Camden
Feb 10th - Cobra Starship, Shepherd's Bush (hopefully)
Feb 11th - Lostprophets/Kids In Glass Houses, Brixton (hopefully)
Feb 15th - Lostprophets/Kids In Glass Houses, Cambridge
Feb 17th - Lostprophets/Kids In Glass Houses, Birmingham (hopefully)
Feb 19th - Lostprophets/Kids In Glass Houses, Edinburgh

Now... add to that:

Feb 6th - All Time Low, Kingston
Feb 8th - You Me At Six/Young Guns, Highbury and Islington (hopefully)

Basically by the end of February I will be dead.

Last note. It was something someone mentioned - would you pay £30 to have the chance to meet your favourite band face-to-face (amongst other stuff)? So that got me thinking. Of all my favourite bands, who would I pay that much to meet?

The answer came up... Well, My Chemical Romance. And that's about it. But that's more because there's pretty much no other way I'd get to meet them. Most other bands: well, I sort of assume that I will eventually get to meet them, if I hang around for long enough. Arrogant? Maybe. I prefer optimistic. God know it's the only thing I am optimistic about. I've already met Madina Lake, The Blackout, three of Papa Roach and four of Lostprophets more out of luck than anything else, as well as All Time Low at a signing. Sure, it'd be lovely to meet them again, especially Madina Lake, but I can manage without it.

I guess I admire people for having the dedication to a band to spend that much on them. Me, I just float... My favourite band can change on the spur of the moment. And when I look at £30, I see two gig tickets right there. Perhaps the moral of this story is that I need more money. Which makes me sound arrogant, again. *sigh*

February could potentially go very well or very badly depending on what my parents say, how cold it is, and how good I am at deceiving them. Wish me luck with all three, hell knows I need it.
