Bittersweet Bundle of Misery

02 FEB 04

Today was Monday but I didn't have to go to school. It's a day off, I don't know why, but anyway, it's still a very good day. Today I went to Waterloo Record in town where I went to see the Thrills before. Travis was going to be there and play some free acoustic show. The show was canceled because Fran got bad voice that day so all I needed to do today was meeting Travis and let them sign my 12 memories CD and my Travis highschool agenda. It's still very good. Wasn't it?

Travis was going to come at 5pm. I got their early about 4:30 PM to avoid the crownd. The line for just signing stuff was very long. About 100 hundred people or more were waiting for them but my position on the line was not to bad. It's good that I got there early. I was so surprise that many people in America know them. I was so glad. Oh.. let me say something.. you think that hiphop is every on Billboard chart but let me say something.. the White Stripes are a lots bigger selling in America than 50 cent that got No.1 spot on Billboard chart for so many weeks.. just telling you that the chart can't tell you everything .

Travis arrived about 5:15. They looked the same as in the picture. Fran wore the suit that he wore in Beautiful Occupation mv. I was so excited. When it's my turn for them to sign my CD. Andy and Dougie saw the Travis High School agenda and they signed that for me. You have to see what Andy signed on my CD and my school agenda. It's very funny. ^ ^''' Then Niel, I told him that I was from Thailand so he asked my how long I have been here. Oh nice blokes they talked to me very friendly. Then P' Fran... I ask whether Travis is going to come and play in Thailand or not. I caught that he said... (sorry I'm very poor at Scottish accent listening, I'm not sure if this was all he said - -'' )

'We are going to play in Middle East. We hope to come to Thailand but we are not sure. We had played only in Japan and Singapore. We hope we can go to Thailand'

I said my friend in Thailand are waiting for Travis. I hope they come and play in Thailand ,too. And I said to Fran that I'm so glad that they put Thai word in Beautiful Occupation mv.. Yep... this was my very little chat with Fran. I wanna talk to him some more. But you know? my English.. sucks - -'' Um.. I took picture with Dougie and Fran. I think when I come back I will scan it for you guys.

They are VERY VERY NICE they asked everybody what their names and talk to everybody. I got my name that they wrote on my CD. WOWW that's very cool!! Their Scottish accent is great too. ^ ^ They are really nice as in the news. They are billiant.

So please buy their real copy of CD. Don't buy bootlegs. I'm looking forward to watch them in Thailand later this year!

Today was Tuesday...

I have to go to school. But tonight I'm going to Lasona Loza, a concert venue in town to see Travis. Actually they were planned to play at Austin Music Hall which is bigger venue. But due to the less selling tickets, they have to change the venue than rather let half of the venue empty. (Ah.. I like lots of space better .. ) Lasona Loza can hold about 700 hundred poeple, I think. I got there at about 7:15 (the concert started at 8). It non-smoking concert yeah!! Now I understand that the band that you love can really effect you cloth and your looks. Back when I came to Lasona Loza to see Placebo all I saw was punk, smoking kids, men in eyes liner, very wild. But what about Travis concert? Well what I saw were 'Peace the f*** out' T shirt, Bush's T-Shirt 'Stop to occupation!', people that look really mature and even.. Scotish flag!!! I stood at about the 4th row from the stage. That was quite close. I was quite short compare to white people but luckily that this time I could see the stage clearly unlike that Placebo consert that I couldn't see anything clearly - -''.
