Acoustic

skaorsk8 by skaorsk8 · Mar 17, 2003 · 219 views · Journal

Ok for some reason that I don't completely understand, I love acoustic versions of songs. always. if it's a rare acoustic, it's even better. so when some random LI kid called me up and said "hey, tonic is playing an acoustic set in some place called asbury park on friday, do you wanna go..."...i had to jump at the chance. something about live music that i will never ever hear again, that isn't loud. wow.

but..here's my question. I'm looking for ways to aaaaaaaahem perhaps bring in a recording device. has anyone ever done this? I know some bands encourage it...(i'm thinking dave matthews but I've never liked them, so I really can't recall). A mini-disc player strapped to my leg? Is that the best way to go? Suggestions on a 3x5 postcard care of www.ezabel.com. Yeah.

magnum magnumOG 2001

notice the 'last' saturday night part ;) no idea i didnt bother to call back the people who went

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

it costs a whopping $13. I'm bringing my sister...it will be her first concert ever

magnum magnumOG 2001

aww isnt that so nice

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

you're not serious...isn't she like my age?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

yeah...but umm...my sister...i'll explain another time. not here.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

haha yeah call my cell sometime--if it's on i'll answer. if not i'll get back to you a few days later. (why has everyone been having issues with that?)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

because it's not normal. the point of HAVING a cell phone is that you no longer have to leave messages, talk to parents, or leave messages with parents. yes.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

if parents are in a bad mood im not going to sit there chatting on my cell phone and hear them complain about it. don't you realize if someone else in my family is unhappy they believe it's their responsibility to make everyone else feel the same.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

yep. my family is like that too. i completely understand that. i was just answering your quesiton.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

oh okay i gotcha...well now at least you understand why i'm laying low

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 forrestina

not answering right away is no biggie...but not calling back until a few days later? ugh! i hate that.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ok4now

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

you know paul s from england? he just discovered tonic recently and was so wowed by them.

skaorsk8 #2.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

he is wowed by a lot of things. fizzy drinks, for instance. we once had an hour long conversation about HOW they made soda bubble. thank goodness he doesn't drink alcohol.

forrestina #2.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002
