We were walking Downtown. Yeah...

"We were waking Downtown. Yeah...
My favorite part of town."

The lyrics above are from Walking Downtown by Copeland from the album Beneath the Medicine Tree.
Why those lyrics?
Because Holy Smokes Copeland was amazing!

I expected it to be a great show, but I didn't expect it to be my favorite show of all time. Yes. I said it. Best show I've ever been too. Not overall, because I didn't find all the openers to be entertaining, but Copeland's set was just simply amazing and I don't know if I'll ever experience better. Not only did they play a bunch from their newest album, You Are My Sunshine, but they played songs from every album they've released. Made for a great night of singing. The blend also gave Copeland fans old and new the opportunity to hear exactly what they're packing in their repertoire.

As i've said before, I didn't really care what they played because I love it all so the fact that they just played hard and played as much as they could was enough for me. I can't describe the happiness I was going through as one after another Aaron Marsh belted out songs, and the fans reciprocated. I was definitely in a very happy place. They even covered Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins, which I later asked for them to record and post somewhere. They ended with You Have My Attention.

Afterwards I bought their newest album on vinyl and got all the guys to sign it. I made sure to ask each one of them if they remembered me from the time they played BYX Island Party back in the Spring of 06, last time I had the opportunity to see them, and they said they did. They even remembered details about the day and some of the things that we talked about, did I feel special? YEP! The guys were so nice and hung around and talked to everyone that wanted to speak with them, they're really just stand up individuals. Aaron, Brian, John, and Steven........ Thanks for being you and keep on rockin'.

Note: This was my little brothers first concert and I'm proud to have been able to take him to it, and I'm extra happy that it was Copeland. Always nice to share an experience like that one with someone you love.

Just typing this out has made me feel like a giddy little girl. If you haven't listened to Copeland let me know and we'll change it. Great guys, great music, great lyrics.


In to other news.

I have an Anthropology exam tomorrow but I'm procrastinating a little but to type this out. I have 3 or 4 chapters to read before tomorrow at 2. Hopefully won't take too long to get through it all.

I'm officially a Twitterer. Look me up. Not sure how long it'll last but so far I don't think it's too much of a time commitment so maybe it'll last longer than I expect it too.

Last night at BYX meeting while we were doing praise and worship I realized the reality and meaning of Christ being beaten and crucified for me. It was pretty sweet. So many thoughts and ideas flew through my head and I just had this moment where I couldn't really believe that someone went through so much for me to save me from my fate as a sinner. Ridiculous. Let's talk about it.


SPECIAL SHOUT OUT:
Today was my friend Nick Willaims' birthday and I had the pleasure to sit next to his sister, Amanda, who I told I would post about on my blog. Why? I think so that she could try and google herself, don't think it'll work but whatever. Anyways here we go.
Amanda Williams, well she eats sweet potatoes with sweet n' low on them, kind of strange in my opinion but actually does taste pretty good. Amanda Williams enjoys eating only the icing on baked goods, I witnessed it. Amanda Williams listens to almost all of Clear Channels radio stations here in Austin. You go Amanda!

Well that's it for tonight. Time for some alone time between me and a certain textbook. OH YEAH.
