last night i went to TEN's concert in houston at the meridian. hands down, it was the best concert i've ever been to slash will ever go to. they told everyone that they are going to be taking an "indefinite hiatus" after this immediate tour, whatever that means. the seriously made my heart stop beating. these past four years with ten have been amazing. i can't imagine my life without them or their music. i'm glad i went early to be front and center. for the first part of the set, this guy definitely threw me out of place and got in front of me. i was pretty pissed because he effin stole my thunder. in the middle of one of the songs, he did a stage dive which totally opened up the front for me. yessssssssss. i definitely earned it. i was the one who came five hours early to be in front.
i don't know what this means. i know that i will at least be one year at the minimum. two years at the max would be great. i'm making a promise to myself that i will see them the next time they come to texas in all of the major cities (houston, san antonio and dallas). that'd be sweet if they came to austin too. that's why last night's concert was so awesome and amazing. they played a full set and by full set i mean EIGHTEEN songs! they even played sunday drive. it was about half and half with the old stuff and new. i had plenty of opportunities to talk to each and everyone of the band members but i'm way to nervous.
when i walked out of the venue and went to my truck, i kinda just sat there for about 20 minutes thinking about what just occurred. i sat there in the dark with the rain beating down on my truck, reminiscing about all of the great times i'd had with TEN. it was pretty crazy. from the first time i heard open eyes and was immediately obsessed, to this last time i finished the path and loved it. i couldn't sleep last night because it was on my mind. it's gonna take time and me telling myself that it's only temporary. for me, i hope temporary is like a year and a half. just look at incubus. they were gone for almost two years and have come back full fledge. i think this will definitely be good for them. i mean, just look, ace has a family now and i'm pretty sure he wants to have kids. jeff has started another band (grace period). joe, serg and bill seem pretty busy too. oh well, this is going to be good. i need to be positive. maybe that's why they released a three-cd cd because they knew this was going to happen.
TEN, thanks for everything. you've changed my life for the good.
"and through this sea of fingers, i find my own real life."
