The Script Weekend!

Helloo!
So I have been told, (even though I was going to do one myself at some point!) to do a post about the weekend that has just gone! I went with one of my best friends, as part of her Christmas present, to see The Script! - I thank you Els for asking me! ;)
Now I'm a fan of The Script,.. but to contradict myself, I don't know all the words, nor would I die for them, but I like their music and they seem like decent guys from any interviews that I've seen! I do wish that I had listened to the songs more and got to know the words - cos I let myself down by going to an amazing concert and not being able to sing along to every song; however I did woop and clap A LOT! (So It somehow makes up for the lack of lyric knowledge, yeah?)

I love the atmosphere of going to a concert, how everyone is sitting there waiting for it to start, chatting about what it's going to be like and feeling the general excitement in the air! I don't know if that comes with being deaf, being more aware of your surroundings? Feeling the anticipation all around you? It's amazing. It's like being part of a group, I mean it just doesn't matter about anything while you're there, when you're in the moment singing along and being too excited! No-one judges you whilst you sing, clap or woop - everyone is there to enjoy themselves, whether you're Deaf, Autistic, Black, White or have a fetish for feet! It simply doesn't matter, we all enjoy the music together, and for a while that's all that matters.
I  was also quite surprised at how well I understood the lads! They did some talking and telling tales between songs.. and I thought that I'd find it difficult hearing and understanding what they were saying, especially in their Irish accent, and also knowing that microphones gives feedback and can make voices sound muffled - but It was completely the opposite! (I'm guessing this is the most amazing technology they use at the Arena?) It was almost like they were in front of me just chatting to me, just normally, I have to say it was a massive relief especially as I did worry that I would miss it and it'd ruin the experience by looking like 'huh? what?' So I was glad that my worries weren't met :)
However having low blood sugars, and drinking coke at 11.45pm, ending in only 3 hours sleep was pretty much the only down thing there! But completely was weighed out by the fact I spent the weekend in amazing company and really enjoyed my time in London & travelling! :D (It's so relaxing!!) But after such a successful trip I'd be more than happy to go again for a show, knowing that I'd be able to hear the person talking on stage!
