30 Seconds to Mars live, This Is War and tour planning!
1 commentsI just realised that I haven’t blogged in FOREVER!
So much has happened.
I finally got to see 30 Seconds to Mars live! It was an amazing experience. It was a long, long day but so worth it. Got to meet a load of new friends and I’ve never been hugged by so many people I’ve never met before!
These are my Cornish Echelon mates who I love dearly, proudly displaying the T shirts I designed for us!
The bands touring bassist walked the queue at around 12.30pm which was totally unexpected. He happily had a chat and took pics with everyone, just a lovely bloke! This is me and Tim.
Usually I wouldn’t post pics of myself but I just love this picture. Me looking genuinely happy and excited. Good times!
The band were incredible live, lots of banter from Jared. I kept trying to watch Shannon drum as the guy is all *flaily* arms and is as fascinating to watch as he is to listen to. Tomo and Tim were bouncing around the stage like loons! Instead of trying to explain it I will post Karina’s videos. These was taken over my right shoulder!
Intro and A Beautiful Lie.
Lost my mind somewhere around 2mins 22!
Kings and Queens
Jared talks a lot. Music starts around 3mins 15.
*sigh*
Got to say a brief hi to the band as we went through the signing line afterwards. Nice!
I also turned 35! Great birthday, was thoroughly spoilt. Got to spend some serious quality time with my cousin as well. 3 days of awesomeness.
2 days after the gig at Koko, 30STM tickets went on sale for a UK arena tour in 2010. Woohoo! More road trip madness is ensuing as we are going to 4 of the shows! All dates are for February ‘10.
Nottingham Trent FM Arena – 19th
Manchester Evening News Arena – 20th
Cardiff International Arena – 21st
London Wembley Arena – 23rd
Glasgow SECC – 27th
We’re going to all bar Scotland! That’s a little too far to travel from the South West! So another countdown will be starting in due course and the planning has already started.
Chances are that you’ve heard Kings and Queens on the radio recently. Midweek charts suggest it be in somewhere in the 20’s. It’s the first single from the album This Is War out in the UK on Monday December 7th. I got my copy in advance which was a surprise but a great one! Have to say that I was afraid I wasn’t going to like it but I have totally fallen in love with it.
Am supposed to be out promoting today but the weather has called a temporary halt to that plan. Bloody rain!
That’s it for now. Will be posting up random interviews and stuff a little bit later! Have a feeling this will turn into a 30 Seconds To Mars blog entirely!

Will let this one speak for itself. If you’re not familiar with 30STM I would love to know what your reaction is so please, please, please leave a comment!
(Yeah, I begged!)
A mere 4 days before I get to see this band live! Woohoo!
From the album This Is War, released Dec 7th in the UK.

Live music and head blenders

You ever get that whizzy mixed up feeling where your head is spinning at the speed of sound? Yep, I’m still there! The work stuff is still alarming me. Am waiting on a phone call as I’m typing. Hence, why I’m blogging, to cause distraction and use of the words ‘head blender’ in the post title!
So, 6 days til 30 Seconds To Mars! WOOHOO! We made our T-shirts on Sunday and I have to say they look really, really good! They will be included in the epic post that I think will appear somewhere around the 17/18th depending on how tired I am.
We’re planning on leaving home at around 4am , so should get to London around 11ish, depending on traffic. Keeping my fingers crossed that 8 hours of queuing in a possible low of 8 degrees will afford us a decent space where us short people can have a decent view. Avoiding hypothermia would be a bonus!
I get to spend a lot of time with my girls, Karina and Tweaks, and on top of that meet a load of people who I kind of know but have never met in person. I’m so excited, I really cannot express it! If I tried than it would just be a whole post of emoticons.
I know I go on about this gig a lot but it really is a saving grace at the moment. It’s also my birthday this week and I’m being taken to a live show of Motown music! Again, cannot wait! You absolutely cannot beat live music and I’m so looking forward to getting on my feet, dancing, singing and clapping along. Bliss!
Btw, people in the UK, can you believe what happened on the X Factor on Sunday?! Mr Cowell did a very sneaky thing in going back to the public vote. Lucie was clearly the better vocalist and Simon should have had the balls to get rid of Jedward. I suppose from a business point of view it makes sense to keep Jedward in as long as poss for the ratings and the press for the show. Which incidentally is supposed to be a talent show, in case anybody had forgotten.
Was also shocked at Louis Walsh going off on lovely Dermot O’Leary on Saturday night. How very dare he?! But then, Louis is an arse with a self inflated sense of importance. I’m not even going to preface that with ‘in my opinion’.
So there.
I picked up the new Robbie Williams and JLS albums yesterday. Haven’t properly listened to them yet but will post my opinion when I have! So far Robbie is at No.1 in the midweek charts. Yay!
Also there are a few tasty True Blood rumours around at the mo. Too many to go into but apparently Eric is going to be naked quite a bit and that makes me happy!
New Moon is out soon as well. Definitely looking forward to that. Being a Team Jacob girl, it’s ALL about the Wolves!
My absolute favourite part of this week was a phone call from my brother. He and his girlfriend had a beautiful baby girl in July and he rang me to tell me that he proposed to his lovely lady and that they are hoping to get married next year! YAY!!
So even though all this crappy work stuff is going on, there’s still loads in life to look forward to!
Bring it on!

Random musings…
2 commentsIt’s been a hell of a week.
The company I work for has announced a lot of redundancies. I feel like I’m being pressured into making huge career decisions at a time when I’m supposed to be looking after myself, not worrying myself stupid about a job I don’t care for much.
But the job market is not good. Do I take a calculated risk and enter into voluntary redundancy or just simply take a risk and wait to see if the compulsory redundancies bite me in the ass? Or do I take a really huge risk and say the hell with you bunch of idiots, see ya later?
Obviously I’m too much of a coward for the latter option. There’s so many people out of work at the moment that to have a shitty job is better than no job at all.
It’s good job I have a counsellors appointment tomorrow! Head is spinning like an uncontrollable spinny thing!
So I’ll post a lovely pic of Shannon Leto to cheer myself up.
Only 11 days and I get to see this guy do his thing in the flesh.
I’m so ready!
