PLEASE PLEASE OH MY GOD PLEASE

FUCK MY LIIIIIIIFE !!! ADHJADHAS

For those of you who obviously don't live on this planet, my favourite band of four years and fo' sho' forever are Death Cab for Cutie, and it is one of my dreams, my complete dream, to see them live. They came to England when I was 16 but it was when I didn't have a job - the tickets were £16 but my parents weren't going through shit so I didn't want to ask them for money. They're from Seattle (near the Canadian border) so I was hoping when I came here to Canada they'd be somewhere nearby. And now what do I find out. THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN MANCHESTER IN APRIL FOR £20 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME OH MY GOD I WANT TO DIE

Yes you may think this is an exaggeration, but I love them so much. They've been the soundtrack to my 'growing up' - a massive cliche I know but I really don't give a shit. I am in shock. My god.

HOWEVER they are playing in Calgary on May 25th... But there's two problems. A) I was planning to leave Alberta early May and head out west to Quebec, a 3 day bus journey B) They are $56. I do not have $56 to spare.

A can be solved pretty easily - I'm not even joking, I'm that desperate to see them I would stay in Lake Louise longer just so I could. They've been together for such a long time now (There is like, seven albums I think?) that I'm paranoid it'll be the end sometime soon and I will live my life without seeing them.

B however, is more difficult. I am getting down on my knees and begging and saying PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD LET SOME RANDOM STRANGER GIVE ME $56 OR SOMETHING HAPPEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IT WOULD MEAN TO ME ARGGASFJDJKGGBAJSASJDAJ. Why hasn't my credit card come in the post yet.

I know I sound completely crazy in this post. I am. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I CANNOT BELIEVE IT I WILL NOT RECOVER FROM THIS FOR A LONG TIME

and when i see you i really see you upside down

imgs from various sources over the years - sorry!

some of my favourite images of the band that for the past three years have been there for me every day, comforted me on the lows and brightened up the highs... :) cheesey i know, but they are basically my life soundtrack, i love them more than i have ever loved anything of this type! they have a sound like no other band and ben gibbards voice is just so pure and haunting - argueably a very 'arty' band with both their AMAZING lyrics and album covers. the boyfriend got me the narrow stairs album on vinyl for my birthday, the cover is beautiful :) it's likely they'll feature in many posts to come!

i've never been able to see them live - in the time that i've listened to them they've only come to england once, two years ago and i couldn't afford the tickets :( they were only £16 as well, which these days seems like nothing. i had a conversation with my best friend a few weeks back where we arrived at the conclusion that i would pay up to £150 to see them if they came back, without any hesitation. maybe one day i'll just have to fly to seattle and see them there...
