i can die happy.

okay so last night was amazing.
I saw coheed and cambria at a tiny venue in paris and then......well hung out with them in a cafe...

heres the deal:
Courtney and I show up and I am totally pumped and ready for some coheed. We meet some british guys who came down for the show and a nice french girl who discovered coheed when she was living with a host family in VIRGINIA (who would've thought!)

The evening began with a french band--pretty good music and they were definitely easy on the eyes ;) They played some of their own stuff--in english?--and then they covered an armor for sleep song which left me quite satisfied with their set.

Then it was time for my loves.

Once they hit the stage it was non-stop bliss. They played all my faves and some of their new stuff which was amazing as usual!! Their encore was final cut which transitioned into one of the most entertaining jam sessions I've witnessed. There was some battling between instruments and lots of interesting playing by claudio....2 guitars??

When the show was over courtney and i milled around and a very nice parisien come up and said "so you like this band?" to which a very quick "uhhh obviously!" comes out of my mouth. So he proceeds to give us two all access passes. SWEET!
As the security guys shuffled everyone without passes out the door courtney and i waited for a little coheed action.
Mike was the first one out and I approached him with the usual "amazing show etc etc" and then basically we just hung out talking to him for a while and then we all headed out for drinks.

We met some nice english girls who had known mike for a while now who have introduced us to a new scottish band who will be in paris on monday?? Courtney and I ended up grabbing some drinks and a seat with mike and hanging out waiting for the rest of the guys.

Claudio and Travis made their way out and we had some random chats before the two headed off to mc-do and we settled back in with mike. We had quite a few ridiculous convos before they had to head off to the airport to head back home. Mike said they will be in back in London in the spring so I'm hoping for another wonderful night next semester!














It was fabulous. I am so in love with the fact that they are so great to their fans. I left the concert/brasserie on such a high.
I needed that concert and a touch of home after this ridiculous week!
