Oh boy, oh boy. I saw The Cure live in Milan last night and it was... it was... Damn, I have no words. 46 fucking euros and worth every cent. I'll post just a few random thoughts because that's all I can write right now.

- Simon is still damn hot

- Porl turned into Billy Corgan (shaved head with crazy paintings on it + weird black skirt)

- Simon looking surprised and smiling shily when the crowd calls out his name is the most adorable thing on the planet

- "The Kiss" is the most amazing song to hear performed live

- Simon is still damn hot

- Jason is a great drummer, no matter what the Boris's hardcore fans say

- I love it when Simon crouches down and waits for his part to start

- Robert is still damn charismatic

- Did I mention Simon is still damn hot?

Yes, I have a soft spot for Simon and his ever changing hair colour (yesterday it was back to black, after being blond first and then bright red in the last few concerts), he's the reason I started playing bass to begin with. And of course the first song I've ever played was "A forest". But his new tattoos are awful. And talking about bass, maybe it was because there were no keyboards (a Cure gig with NO KEYBOARDS???) but the bass sounded SO FUCKING LOUD, I LOVED IT. After such a concert I just want to play till my fingers bleed but I can't, because our drummer has my bass. Argharghargh.

But oh, it was wonderful. I didn't meet up with our keyboard player, but I met another friend who's a huge Cure fan, a girl who lives in London and whom I met at the Curedrink a couple of years ago, who saw the concerts in Rome and Milan, and the guys from Easy Cure, The Cure's official coverband. I was so happy to meet everyone after such a long time, I've lost contact with most of the people from the Cure Forum in the last year and it's a pity. But they still remembered me and seemed happy to see me. Sigh.

And last night after the concert I dreamed I was at an ärzte concert, the actual concert was over and they were meeting fans, everyone wanted to talk to Farin and was constantly bothering him, so he said he was going to answer only to a few people's question and at some point some girl bit his index finger. He looked at her, looked at his finger and said "Ouch!"

Why do I always have such crazy dreams? XD

PS I finally have a Cure icon, I hadn't had one since I deleted my old Simon/Perry one...
