record store day

yesterday was record store day at amoeba. the first 250 people to preorder the new smashing pumpkins cd boxed set would get to see them that same day at 4 pm. Myself, Gaby and Andrea were amongst them. we got there at 5 am and waited 5 hours go in and it went by fast. We had time to kill before the show because we couldn't go home and come back.. it would have gotten late..we ate because we were starving, then went to borders but ended up at space 1520 in the line to get into the show(it was starting to get long). we sat down for another 5 hours haha. we made friends with the people waiting next to us in line(really nice, down to earth people). we all kind of came together in a circle because we were trying to get shade( the sun was starting to really burn). one of the guys was there with his best friend from middle school, they were hilarious. and the girl had just moved here from new york, she came to the show by herself because she didn't know anyone in the area(other than her roomate). i really admire her ability to just get up and leave her life there and start over again, and she didn't seem to regret it. that is something i have always dreamed of doing but haven't quite built up the courage to do so yet(or acquired enough funds). i will one day. she gave us her facebook and we plan on meeting up with her when we visit hollywood again soon. i can already tell we will all get along swell, she seems like a good person. They finally let us in at 3:30, as promised. this new artist corina round was the opening act. i liked her she had a nice voice. after her the smashing pumpkins came on(which is really only billy corgan now). The new drummer was really good and young too(19) and jeff schroeder, still going strong. I hadn't heard their new music yet but they had a really good set, i am gald he played some of the oldies. I don't believe i've ever heard a pumpkins song that i didn't like. it was an amazing show only 250 fans in attendance, it was initmate. i wouldn't trade this experience for coachella. i had an amazing saturday. my life is going good right now..im content

i hope next years linep for coachella is at least decent,
and hopefully lady gaga isn't on there.
