Moby: the morning after

waking up today, i had a huge headache, with my ears still ringing from the loud music last night. but im still very glad that i was there. i still find it hard to believe that i was actually standing among the pit, absorbing moby's performance.

from all the jumping and the stress on my legs and back, i am experiencing some muscle strains, but its all worth it.

i found out that 'the roots' will be coming over sometime in june. they went to emory to perform and i didnt know pamela and leisha then, but this time, i might go, as its being held at the same place as last night, the superb tabernacle. and the tickets are only 16 dollars. the only problem though, it will be from 9pm onwards, on a thursday night, and i will have to go to work the next day...

i thought of making a habit of buying the CD that is being promoted for the concerts that i go to. i bought the jamie cullum CD even though my dad owned it, but since it was a U.S. version (my dad's was the UK version) with extra tracks and some that were missing ('Frontin'' and 'High & Dry' among others) with autograph for 10 bucks, i got it. but the moby's 'Hotel' was being sold for 20 bucks, which i was not exactly too willing to pay. what probably saved me was that i thought i didnt have enough cash with me (afterwards while dining at Wing Nuts, i realized i had exactly 20 bucks, but spending that would have meant no dinner) and i wasnt willing to conduct a cash advance withdrawal with my credit card (20% fee straight up? i'll never do that)

i might purchase his CD sometime in the future, but it wont have the same feeling as buying the CD at the actual venue. but whatever.

his opening act, Buck 65, was pretty interesting. gotta check out his music.
