I saw Metric with my sister, other sister, cousin, sister's boyfriend, and my other sister's friend and it was fun.
Except there is one problem. We forgot the camera, so in this post I have no pictures or video to show to myself.
I feel that whenever I am about to leave to a concert something happens. When I was going to see Crystal Castles my dad took the car keys and my sisters and I only have one phone, so it was difficult to contact my youngest sister to tell her that we had to go on the train. We share that one phone except that I never use the phone or have used a phone in probably over a year. I guess I can live without a phone. *shrugs*
Back to Metric.
My sisters and I entered a contest for free tickets to see Metric. We had to post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. I don't have an Instagram because a phone is needed for that. Anyway, we decided to enter the contest that day before it ended, which was in reality less that twenty-four hours before the contest ended. I posted about seven posts to that contest and I really thought that I would not win. I never win anything, so before I went to school I checked my e-mail and I saw this in my e-mail:
I clicked on the e-mail, which then sent me to a webpage and I received a second e-mail that read like this:
And in the second e-mail it said this:
Yay! I had won two tickets to see Metric, but then I didn't know who to take and so I asked my cousin. My other little cousin was supposed to go, but as we were about to leave we found out that the show was 17+. In a short time we had one extra ticket. However, this was resolved when we quickly thought of inviting my sister's friend. While we tried to get a hold of him on the phone my other sister's boyfriend's bicycle tire got a flat and my cousin was hungry. Everything was hectic....
We quickly picked up my other sister's boyfriend, my sister's friend, and we still had to pick up my sister from her job, which was kind of far away. All of this was accomplished in a reasonable amount of time for we still got to the concert around 8:15 pm. When we entered the venue My Gold Mask was playing.
After what felt like less than ten minutes they ended their performance and a bit later Gemini Club played. They put on a great show. The lead singer even quoted John Lennon with this quote, "Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry." Ironically, we were in the front. There wasn't many people.
Metric took a while to go on stage, but when they did it was like a giant had opened its eyes to let out the world that had been hidden underneath.
They played songs from all of their CD's I believe.
When I think of Metric I think of my graduation day from high school. Before I graduated and when I was at home I kept listening to Give Me Sympathy over and over again. Metric reminds me of my high school graduation three years ago.
After the show everyone was hungry, so we went to eat at a restaurant called El Solazo. I ate two tacos and an horchata. It was a great night. An awesome night. Exuberantly beautiful and exciting in every way.
P.S. I only have two sisters. My sister and my other sister I just didn't want to mention their names.
