Hello World!
My name’s Megan. I’m 23 and currently living in the west suburbs of Chicago. I’m in school, unemployed, and filling my time with things I find interesting. Something of interest I do to fill my time is go to concerts. By some standards I go to a lot of shows, by others too few or not enough variety in the genre. I like what I like so it is what it is.
Since May I’ve seen Cobra Skulls, The Lawrence Arms, Dead to Me, The Menzingers, Noise By Numbers, Dear Landlord, and Off With Their Heads. Some bands, like Dead to Me and Off With Their Heads, I’ve only seen once, whereas Cobra Skulls and The Larry Arms, I’ve seen multiple times. I like the excitement of checking out new bands and am always satisfied to see a favorite band play another show.
But who doesn’t feel that way, right? I also happen to take pictures at these concerts. I work my little red Cannon point- and- shoot for all it’s worth and sometimes I get something cool. Other times I’ll take 100 photos and think they’re all complete shit.
Same goes with my writing- some days are epic and the words just flow, while other times there’s more ink in the garbage than on the page. Usually I write for myself in spiral notebooks I carry wherever I go. I haven’t written for an audience before. My friend Steph suggested I start a concert blog after chatting her ear off for the hundredth time about a show I’d seen and showing her all the pictures I took.
So that’s why I’m here. A concert/ music blog with other oddities from my life thrown in just to keep things interesting. I’ll try my best to be candid, honest, and respectful. No bullshit. I’d appreciate the same in return.
On that note, I bid you adieu until next time.
