I've recently discovered that my wife has been promoted and we're being relocated to another city. So even though it's just 2 days away from the show in Charlotte, and I haven't had much time to think about it or really get excited. I had planned to do more with this page, add some blog posts, etc. But as it stands - well, I recorded the From The Basement show on VH1 the other night and I still haven't even watched it.The show, and the mini vacation of the weekend, will be a welcome break.

there is so much to be said for the two shows in florida...but i have like 2 min before we start our drive up to atlanta...the first show of the tour was incredible...i have second row center seats and i was just in it and blown away...the band seemed really on edge and nervous, which is what i expected from a first show...but that vulnerability made the show that much stronger...how to dissapear is one of my favorite songs of theirs, so it was only right they play it on the first night of the tour. we got to tampa early and got to hear soundcheck...they played all i need 4 times...which i guess paid off because it sounded so perfect...tampa show was insane...so many people...they changed 5 songs from the night before and played the bends, which is one of my favorites from that record...it was great to see old friends and friends i have met at the shows...we also helped out a man that works for TBD records when his car wouldn't start...he told us some awesome news...the band has been praciticing a brand new song before soundcheck for the last two shows, and it should be ready by texas or maybe the august shows...and that they will play it then hopefully...god i can not wait! ok we gotta go hit the road....see you there!m

so we drove from tampa to atl on the day off and what was a 6 hour drive felt like 15...took forever and was so draining. We made it to atl and to my friend luke's place. Hung out with him and his dog and just rested since we knew we had a GA show the next day that would exhaust us. Day of show we get to venue and are asked to wait at this gate way outside the venue and that if you have a public transportation pass (marta) you get in an hour early. So i had to go drive to get the pass at the bus station, luckily it was close by. Waiting all day was not that bad since the weather was pretty nice and cool...it wasn't until later that it rained and was cold.We had a pretty good time waiting in line, met lotts of nice people including some of the hardcore fans. When it was time to get inside we walked calmly and then we were all put into lines at the gate. We could hear all of soundcheck, which had probably just started around 4:30. They soundchecked maybe 10 songs including talk show host which they hadn't played in some time. Once we were allowed into the venue it was mass hysteria. No one knew where to go or where to run to. The security was just unprepared for us and had no idea where we needed to be. All the while, the band is still soundchecking. Eventually wrist bands were given out and in we went, still with lotts of confusion. We made it front and center and the show was so great. It felt like the band had way more energy that the previous nights in florida, almost like they needed to have this close proximity to the fans in order to really rock out. There were some problems with the LED screens right when it was time for them to start...not sure how they fixed it but the screens seemed to work fine the rest of the night. After the show i saw some good friends, one of whom flew out for this show. She was not disappointed! See you in charlotte!-m

Nice site! I usually don't keep up any profile sites, but hey this is Radiohead, right?Alright, so I'm a poor, stressed college student. Right now, I'm a poor, stressed, angry college student because despite the fact that I take on average 17-18 credit hours a semester, have about a 3.8 gpa (so i'm not failing classes!), I have to take two summer classes this year, and each of them in a different summer semester - so there goes most of my time off I've been looking foward to. My last day of finals is May 7th, so May 9th I get to celebrate my first year done with a Radiohead concert (my first!) :D. Then 3 days after that I start my Maymester :( ...Three more years of this....If only I could hit one Radiohead concert a year between semesters it might be a bit more bearable, lol, but oh well.
