If there was ever a reason to love IU, this thursday was it. Now, I am fully aware of the fact that this post is going to make me sound like a 15 year old high schooler, and probably make me lose any pseudo intellectual street cred I have going on right now, but dang it, it is worth it. I love Cobra Starship. And I have, and I always will. Probably, but well, for now, always stands. They may play teeny songs that really only should identify with a high schooler, a thing I haven't been for over 3 years now, but, well, I like them. And if that means sometimes having to fight off the occasional girl with braces for the last CD at the store, well that is my cross to bear. Sometimes, you just have to indulge in your guilty pleasure.
And that is what I went to do.
So, over the summer, there was a contest over at PINK, and IU won a free concert by - wait for it - COBRA STARSHIP and, if that wasn't enough, GIRL TALK. That concert was this thursday. Was it epic? Yes. Very much so. The stage was set, there were VS models by the plentiful, DJs who kept the show going between acts, the weather and the foliage was beautiful. Hell even the guys from the bands were like "we've never been here before, but what a beautiful campus! This is like the definition of Fall" Yay, yellowing leaves!
Ok, so we started off with a DJ, went on to the local band, then the Starship landed, and finally Girl Talk blew it up. Somewhere in the middle of getting crushed by the crowd, and screaming so hard that I'm fairly certain I have done irreparable damage to my throat, I realized something - this is why I came to IU. Because at IU, it doesn't matter whether there are swarms of ladybugs (check), rain in the middle of and almost throughout an open air concert (check), waaaaaaay too many people trying to get to the front (check), and there are a million people standing between you and the autograph you really want (oh dear lord, check), if you stick it out and play your cards right, you end up getting not just the autograph, but a picture and a hug from Gabriel freaking Saporta.
YES. YOU MAY NOW COMMENCE BEING JEALOUS.
