Concert. Woot!

First things first--Friday. Little worried about my weekend show, I'll be honest. I had a few things to say about some stuff (9 dollar flights, anyone?) and I spent most of the day on Saturday wondering if I came across as snippy. I hope not.

Saturday=Awesome. I went to Matt Moore's CD Release Party. I didn't realize until I got there how "big deal" it was going to be. Also: First VIP Pass ever. Looking back, I was probably too excited about that. Still...I'm totally saving that in a scrapbook somewhere.

The show was amazing. I'd had to opportunity earlier in the week to check out Matt's Album, which was great. The album is great. Truly. But I really wanted to check it out because who likes to go to a concert where they only know maybe one song? Not me. After seeing him play (w/ a full band and an appearance from FuseFM's very own Josh THO), I can honestly say he's even better live. Seriously. Check it out.

As far as being there as a FuseFM DJ goes, I hung out with Carol for a bit at the table. We were giving away CD's and whatnot--I still feel...awkward? I didn't really know what to do with myself for a large chunk of the time. I went with the idea that I wanted to be super-friendly and talk to loads of people and stuff, and then I mostly ended up hanging out with Sara, Carol, and Dice. But I'm still in the "newbie" stage. Or something. I can't really explain it--I had a blast and I'm so glad I went, but at the same time I felt kind of out of place. Not "just a fan" but not a seasoned radio host, either. Surely at Big Ticket I'll be too busy to dwell on feeling weird. Which, PS, is something that high school counselors always said would go away. Liars. :)

In any case, it was my first music event for the station and it was super cool. And in case you were wondering, the stage shot is Matt Moore, and no I couldn't really get any closer. I mean I could have, but it goes back to that whole feeling awkward thing. But please please please feel free to share pics if you went and also to identify yourself if you are standing next to him in the other picture. :) You can, of course, do all of that by emailing me at colette@myfusefm.com
