I'm Good, I'm Gone... Yes, You Are Blanche

I'm a little disappointed right now due to the fact that I got to the Lykke Li show on the late side and missed the song I wanted to hear. To be honest, I know that it's not anything of significant importance. I'm just feeling a bit low. It doesn't help as I tend to over analyzed these types of situations.

I was looking forward to the concert this evening as the past few times she has come through LA I wasn't able to obtain tickets due to the numerous sold out statuses. So this time was to be different. The tickets were got weeks in advance and for mere duckets at that - only $5 (before fees) thanks to CitiBank.

Now today was one of those types of days that nothing went as planned so I can't be too surprised that I ended up somewhat bummed out - and for tardiness (but not really). See Woods and I have been doing much better arriving to shows "on time" (before the headlining performer) so tonight's situation threw me off. Lady Li was on at 9:40pm. The usual time for headliners to hit the stage at The Wiltern have been about 10pm and beyond. So by us getting there at about 9:55pm was going to be good. Wrong.

I just wish the venues would post the set times like the Troubadour does. I hate how the promoters hide shit like this. Why can't you say, "Doors at..." with a "Show at..." and stick to it. Not some generic time that actually means "Doors at...", but have you thinking "Show at...". What I mean is when you have tickets that say (insert headlining act's name, 8pm). No door info, nothing. But you come to find out when you get there, 8pm means "Doors at..." with the show at 9pm or so. Bastards.

It's all about alcohol sales. I get it. But Woods and I avoid all of that bullshit of hanging out until who we want to see by arriving closer to the headlining act's time. And it avoids me having to deal with the douchebags surrounding us when we go to these shows, because those d-bags love them show live shows. Oh the times I have almost gotten into fights. Sigh.

I'm over it. I'll have to catch her next time she rolls through. But I'll make sure I'm up to speed on my lezbot hipster wear, because damn, it was total Booby Trap in that bitch tonight. Love it.
