Glowing

I haven't done a ~proper~ post in a very long time it feels like - I much prefer to live in my italicised world sometimes - but I have been doing good. Actually I've been writing a fair bit you know, when your brain gets fogged up with music and notes and muddy mixes sometimes writing feels like getting back to basics. I also took the plunge and dyed my hair blue, and my little fish Taku who is the same colour seems to approve.

I went to Laneway Festival last week and had a good time - I was saying to Lewis on the day how amazed I am by how I cope with festivals. I should love them because I am a musical person but I get very stressed and anxious and intense, not just because of the HUGE crowds but mainly because I'm terrified I'll miss something really really cool on another stage like a kilometres' walk away! Plus a kiddie cup of cider was $8 which is criminal and some lady decided to get on a dude's shoulders like RIGHT in front of me when Haim started playing The Wire. But other than that it was really cool and I got to see some very cool bands, Haim being one, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and Lorde (!!! omg I love her) to name a few...a definite highlight of the day, however, was when one lady tapped me on the shoulder and said 'Excuse me, but what is the name of your band? I saw you play at the Brunswick Hotel the other week. I want to tell my friends about you, I loved it.' I just couldn't believe it - not only had someone recognised us out of a million other people, but someone had actually been at that hilarious gig, when our set began at midnight, and enjoyed so much that they wanted to come up to me, a total stranger, and be so nice!!! I was glowing (not just from sunburn!) !!!
