Oh my god! Last night was amaazing!!
Me and my friend went straight after school cause we had nothing to do, so got to the academy at about 3:30... We saw Jimmeh pretty quickly, then Yannissssssssssss (who we were all ready to talk to, were expecting him to walk past us, but then he went through some door before he'd go past us.. Gay) then Waltaaah. Then JACK!!!!!! We were tempted to follow him into the shop he went into (I have such a weird feeling from my knowledge of the road that it's a herbal remedy shop ahah) but decided against it and just watched him. Then we saw Edwin the legend. Then we smelt the tour bus - most vulgar thing ever (when I say smelt it, the door opened and it WAFTED to us.)
Oh and we saw the soundcheck cause the Oxford Academy is the best place ever. The doors are see through, the 'back' door is right by the entrance, its the easiest place to meet/see/watch bands ahah.
So anyway. The gig was soooo sick. Jonquil the support were amaaaaazing. Then Foals just tore it up (pretty literally...) Yannis was climbing up the speakers, nearly fell off too many times of my liking ahah. Stage diving, coming into the front row (I TOUCHED THE MUZZ... I. TOUCHED. THE. MUZZ!) Electric Bloom is stupidly amazing live. Jack and Yannis have some telepathic thaaang going on and it's too good.
After the gig me and my friend went over to the merch and had a little chat with Tinhead and Kit from Jonquil. Tinhead is such a legend I cannot describe, and he's sexy. My friend gave him £9 (we did buy something) in like £1 coins and 50p and he was like "hold on a minute... I'm a bit of a retard" ahahaah. From that moment I was like marry me And he was just making general conversation with us, even though there was a bunch of people waiting. Ahhh
Then after the gig we waited around for a bit. Yannis was like inside the backstage outside bit, but there was a metal gate in the way. He was with his mum - sooooo sweet. He was hugging her and they were chatting for ages. Then he went back so we didn't get to meet him. Theeeeeen, Jack walked out of the main entrance casual as, and my friend just shouted "JACK!!!" and ran after him and went infront of him and was like "Jack!!" and he goes "ohh, hello there!" and then she just giggled and looked at me and it was the funniest thing ever! Jack just ended up doing some kind of nervous laugh bless him. He said he recognised us from the barrier and then signed my box set which he was very excited about, and my ticket. And we got a picture which is hideous but ah well... it's Jack
Then we decided to go home cause we couldn't be bothered and plus the tramp that had been eyeing us up before the gig and coming up to us and leaning on us (weirdest/most horrible experience ever) was there ahaha
