castalieI'm presently eating (drinking?) hot soup in front of my computer during lunch break and pretending that I am, in fact, at home, wrapped in my blanket, sitting on my couch, still having soup but being all cozy and lazy. And warm. Let's not forget the warmth. I was complaining that winter had decided not to visit us around Paris this year? Well, it finally came! Minus temperatures, snow (a lot of snow for a lot of départements) and did I mention the minus temperatures? It finally feels and looks and smells like winter. Incidentally I had to go and buy new mittens because I, of course, lost mine on my way back to France this weekend and my fingers have turned not just red but almost purple too easily for my liking since then.
So, yes, before I lost the mittens, our little trip to London happened, from Thursday morning to Saturday night :-) One that included (among other things) a day-trip to Oxford and things we hadn't before, namely a visit to the Tate Modern, a nice stroll around Noting Hill and breakfast at the Orangery at Kensington Palace. Oh and we found ourselves in the middle of the Waitangi Pub Crawl thing on Saturday, there were some hilarious outfits!
And, of course (it kinda was the reason why we decided to go to the UK in the first place) we saw Panic! at the Disco on Thursday evening at the O2 Academy Brixton ♥ ♥ The queue was a bit insane, it just never stopped! It went around a whole block and I wondered whether we'd ever get inside. Talk about a change from the small venue in Frankfurt! But it was a nice venue nonetheless and we had a great view of the boys :-)
I won't do a recap (though I'll go and look for some around LJ, I'm curious as to what people thought of Brendon's insane speeches) but I'll just say that the guys were their awesome and energetic selves. I can't get enough of Panic live, really ♥ ♥ They all looked dashing, as usual. We had the mini drum-line of love, we had a back-flip (cue longing for a fic where Zack is all "you little shit, how do you want me to keep you in one piece if you keep pulling little stunt like that on a bad-lit stage with a gazillion instruments and even more cables all around!"), we had Spencer talking to the crowd for the encore and him being all "ok you'll have not one but two more songs. Hey, fuck it, let's make it three" and then Brendon calling him a motherfucker. I thought there was much less interactions between them all (now that I can compare between gigs) but we had a lot of speeches from Brendon. And, see, I could say that I'm hard pressed to pick which one was the craziest but, between you and me, the whole part about his mother, the one that concluded with him being all "so grateful that he came from her vagina", that one? Might have topped them all. Oh, Brendon o_O
But anyway lol It was awesome and I can't wait to see them again! I have no idea when, especially if they do start working on their next album, as Brendon mentioned (which, whee!), but I've seen them three live times now, I'll try to be patient and just think of those gigs when times get difficult :-)
