oh. my. GOD!

so here's the deal...

i've known that flickerstick was going to put out a live cd for about 2 months now. but the thing is that no one on the street team knew when exactly that was going to be. now we know...

so their live cd, "causing a catastrophe - live in deep ellum" is coming out now in november. it has all the songs from WHTA on it except "you're so hollywood" and "talk show host", and it has 2 new songs, "believe" and "telling all the world". thankfully they put direct line and execution on it.

the GREAT thing is that it's live... and i have to say that when you see them live, well it's an experience that you'll never forget. their live shows are killer rock, absolutely mind blowing, and completely amazing. so to have a cd of it, well, let's just say i'd pay good money for that cd.

but then again i'd pay good money for anything flickerstick.

i think everyone knows that i love flickerstick. and if you don't, well then you do now. i would try to express to you why flickerstick is so amazing, but (to break the english rule and use clichés) words can't explain what i feel. honestly. i've tried, and i just end up stuttering. last year, their cd welcoming home the astronauts (WHTA) was released on my birthday. MY BIRTHDAY! that's not the cool part. the cool part is that MY MOM GOT ME THE CD! ON MY BIRTHDAY! THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED! you have no idea how great this was for me. especially since my birthday really sucked last year. until i got the cd, that is...

so for this live cd they're going back on tour. so far they've skipped new mexico, went from dallas straight to cali. the thing: ok so on nov. 7, the day after my birthday, they're playing at the roxy in LA. i'm going to try and plead and beg my brother to go to the show and buy every piece of merch they have (except for the thongs... that's just weird) and bring them to me at thanksgiving. i'd pay for the ticket AND all the merch he bought, but the thing is that he HATES flickerstick. and we're not on the best of terms either. or maybe it's just that i hate him. hmmm...

so that is my goal: get him to go to the show and buy me stuff, and find out THE EXACT DAY the live cd is out so i can buy it on that day. i would pre-order over the net, but my parents don't like to use the credit card and i don't have a bank account to use a check card for. mmm... i should get one...

ok i've been on for a long while. i should get off now.

i'm so happy :-)
