castalie | (no subject)

I'm off work for two weeks and I have to say I started my holiday spendidly. Concert on Friday night, then relaxing weekend en famille and a nice Monday out. The rest of the week should be pretty cool too as I've something planned pretty much everyday.

My third concert this year - did I mention that I used to never go to concerts? Like, I've been to more gigs in 2009 than I went in, oh basically all my life? But that's in the past, I'm on the lookout for more concerts now *nodnod* - so, anyway my third concert this year was Arai Akino. I coudn't believe it when I saw she was in France! Especially as I stumbled on the news completely by accident.

The show was excellent! It was a very intimate setting - small stage, small theater - and the instruments used were my favourites : piano, guitar and violin. It made for gorgeous music, believe you me :-) That and I just love Arai Akino's voice and melodies. Also, she's the cutest thing on stage! I wanted to coo at her all the time.

I really enjoyed the opening act as well, namely Yaneka, a mini band made of two siblings; brother and sister.

Changing the subject now. It'd seem I got my Asylum confirmation letter? Only it doesn't look like a confirmation letter at all. I mean, sure, Tai and me, we have our package numbers now, but there's no name on the document I have, no nothing... just a little booklet with our numbers. Is this supposed to be the confirmation letter? Or maybe I should just go and read the different announcements over at the Asylum comm and/or website? Maybe.

Oh, and this has nothing to do with anything but I bought the first two volumes of Fables today and I'm sorta smitten with it. I think I'll get the whole series *nods*

PS: I meant to mention it but kept forgetting. Re: twitter. If you find an account called "cas talie/mousey", don't follow it thinking it's me, because I don't use that one. At all. I don't even remember creating that account, to be honest. I do get the notifications when someone adds me but that's it. So, if you do want to follow me, follow "castalie". Though I'll warn you that I only use twitter to ~~stalk~~ follow the boys in my favourite bands or my favourite authors etc. I haven't updated my twitter account in ages.

Enjoy your holiday, hon! And don't worry about your Asylum confirmation letter - all you need is the brochure thing with your package number, and take some ID with you just in case. According to everything on their website, that's all you'll need at the con.

I'm enjoying my holiday so far, thanks :-)

So that is the confirmation letter, then? I mean, I thought it was seeing that's what they were sending out but the no-name thing made me wonder for a minute.

Thanks!

Oh, Arai Akino, elle a une voix magnifique ! :-)

Je suis bien d'accord ; et puis elle est absolument adorable sur scène !

I'm on the lookout for more concerts now *nodnod*

You better be, dude, because the day MCR comes to Paris, you're not letting me fend for myself in that crowd. I'm holding you responsible for this crazy addiction, you're going to take responsibility! lol

you're not letting me fend for myself in that crowd.

Dude, as if I were going to let you go to their concert on your own!

I'm holding you responsible for this crazy addiction, you're going to take responsibility!

My pleasure, wheee!

I hope you have a fab day today <3

It was great, thanks :-)

Concerning the confirmation letter, your reaction is exactly the one I got when I received mine. I was like "Okayyyyyyyyyyyy" and then I looked once again in the envelop in case I missed something... You're right they could, at least, have put our names on them. It's a poor "brochure" with a number... Oh well, as long as they are organized and that everything goes smoothly, that's fine with me.
have a nice sunny day ;o)

Lol I looked inside the envelop as well :-) I don't mind the 'just number' thing either, but it did surprise me a bit - especially as I remembered how it was done differently that first time. Then again, that was three years ago, so yeah, things are bound to change *nodnod*

Did you get your Jared and J2 photo ops today ?

Nope, I didn't even try. I'm just not comfortable with the idea of taking pictures with celebs. Getting their autographs and seeing them live is just perfect for me, the rest, I'm not really into that :-)

Did you get yours, though?

Really ? Well let me tell you that I'm pretty nervous about doing that but yeah I did get a Jared one, and a J2 one. I already got a Jensen one, a misha one, and the most scariest of all an "all the guests" one !!! OMG : how am I gonna do to go in front of them ALL, sit with them to take my pic...
This con is one of the weirdest thing I've done in my life so far !

Yes, really lol Par contre, tu vas bien en profiter, toi, c'est génial ! Tu fais pas les choses à moitié, au moins :-)

Et encore je suis super sage. J'ai des copines qui ont pris des photos avec pleins de guests dont j'ai même du mal à me souvenir leur nom et dans quel épi ils ont joué ;o)) Enfin tous les autres que je ne t'ai pas cité. Donc dans l'ensemble j'ai été plutôt raisonnable ;o)

Don't worry about the Asylum. That's all we got too. I'm assuming they have our details down on a list for when we register. Though it'll make registration take longer. *nods*

What numbers are you guys?

Yes, as long as we all have our IDs with us, it should be enough.

And our numbers are 528 & 529. Sort of in the middle, I think? What about you?

That's cool. We're 309, 310 and 311.

Not long to go now...
