“Gerard: I think ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor because I was in the supermarket with my mom when I was like seven and it came on the PA and I sang the crap out of it. That was the first time I had sang and everyone started clapping in time with the song; other people buying produce. I knew I had a gift, it really did happen.”

trying to plan for life changing concert:
been meaning to do this. before a major mcr event like going to a concert, I get anxious as it gets closer. I feel like I won’t be ready. I won’t be at the right place at the right time to get a good spot. I’m worried about parking and navigating a festival from a cartoon map making me late and missing one note. I cannot miss a note. oohhhh the fear.. that they could be out in the open and i’m pissing in a portapotty i stg. not an option.
make sure to ask off work properly. I need a day before and a day after the event (if work allows)
get your car oil changed and checking tire pressure before a big drive. or not nothing bad will happen probably but prob healthy for your car and you don’t want anything putting you out of schedule.
festivals – analyze map and try to form a spatial understanding. it’s hard to picture it before you get there. but when you do get there, breathe and hope to see signs indicating what/where the stages are. or one of those blessed “YOU are HERE” map signs.
getting there early and planning on waiting is what i’m doing at least. I have to feel that rail on my hand.
recording their sweet faces.
recording while not watching the camera because you literally can look at the real thing
potentially (with much respect to their privacy and general comfort) meeting a band. found this on reddit and thought it was insightful
