Conflicted
What I want: to go to the Vancouver Coldplay concert in September
What I don’t want: Covid
What will probably be at the Vancouver Coldplay concert in September: Covid
Yes, I know I can wear a mask. And I definitely would if I end up going. But you need to understand something: I’m going to be at a Coldplay concert. All I’ll want to be doing is screaming and singing and crying, and none of those activities jive very well with wearing a mask.
Like…I REALLY want to go, but do I want to risk possible lifelong issues due to Covid for a two- or three-hour window of absolute bliss?
I don’t know.
Complacency? STUPIDITY
Why are people so okay with getting (AND SPREADING) COVID?
The comments are the worst. This is absolutely maddening. Mask, you fart-for-brains.
This makes me even more hesitant for the Coldplay concert, and I am already nervous about it (mostly because of COVID). I’ll be wearing an N-99 mask, at least.
Oops, we did it again!
So first item of interest: MORE COLDPLAY TICKETS! Got up early to treadmill so I could run over to my compy as soon as the queue option became available. Got tickets for the newly-created Saturday show, which will be a lot easier for us to get to than the Friday one. Now all I have to do is sell the Friday tickets and we’re good.
The second item of interest: while waiting for and purchasing said Coldplay tickets, I started to feel a little crappy. Nothing too bad – just some shivers and some general blah. I thought I was just excited for Coldplay, and when I said this to Nate he joked that maybe I was feeling bad because we’d run the humidifier overnight and, given our poor track record of keeping it clean, maybe it was infested with whatever bacteria/mold that made us sick the last two times.
But no way, right? Surely we had been taking better care of the humidifier after TWO incidents of the same sickness from previous gross tanks. Plus, this time we hadn’t let the water sit in it for an entire summer. So there was no chance there was another crop of bacteria in there, right?
RIGHT????
I go to school and feel like absolute ass all day (and ended up puking with a mask on, that’s a fun experience). Then I get home and Nate tells me that he was also feeling the same sickness he’d felt the last times we’d screwed up the humidifier. His was delayed because he’d been in the bedroom/back room all day, whereas I’d slept in and exercised in the same room as the humidifier.
So yeah. We did it again.
A
THIRD
TIME
What the hell is wrong with us?
I think I’m going to start calling the humidifier-induced sickness “Fauxvid,” since the symptoms are so similar to COVID.
We’re responsible adults, we are.
MOVE OVER, SWIFTIES
CLAUDIA’S BUYING COLDPLAY TICKETS
I got up early to get my miles in so I could be in the ticket queue as early as possible. I’ve never bought tickets for anything like this before, so I was nervous about the process. But we got tickets!
I have no idea if the location will be ideal or not, but the floor tickets were already sold out once I got the option to pick (I don’t know if I’d do the floor anyway; I’m short and fighting my way to the very edge of the stage sounds stressful if they just let us all in at once), but I think based on how I’ve seen their show setup in other venues, this should be good.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ZOMG
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG COLDPLAY IS GOING TO BE IN VANCOUVER IN THE FALL
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED TO BE THERE
Tickets are on sale Friday. I’m going to be as close to the front of the virtual line as is possible.
I LOVE Coldplay. I have always wanted to see them in person. This is AWESOME.
OK!
So guess who Nate and I got to see in concert tonight?
Hint:
Okay, that’s less of a hint and more of a giveaway, but whatevs.
We saw OK Go!
It was super awesome. It was also super loud (we’re pretty much concert newbs so we didn’t bring earplugs), so we just stood out in the hallway—which gave us as good a view as any of the band given the number of people at the venue—and danced and sang along with the songs we knew.
I was surprised that they played Here It Goes Again and Get Over It, since both of those songs are older, but they did! They also played I Won’t Let You Down near the very end, which was pretty much the one song I was waiting for the whole night.
There were a few other songs that they played which I’d never heard but liked, so those will likely be my daily downloads for the next few days.
WOO! First concert!
Photographic proof of the kind of week I’ve been having:
Yeah, that’s the mouthpiece for my clarinet. Good thing we don’t have a concert tonight, right?
OH WAIT.
