My Wonderful Fun Filled Week Of OK Go Shows...
Haha so ok, I haven't written any reviewage type stuff yet but I just wanted to post as I have been away for so long and I really miss usual whorage haha 
SO yea, I went to 5 shows in 7 days... Liverpool, WOlverhampton, Nottingham, Cambridge and London. Would've gone to Brighton but money (and also the need to get someone to the airport very early thew next day) inhibited this.
But yea, I had a really awesome time and I got a birthday card signed by the guys (awwww how cute haha) which was really cool. And also, am (along with Ryan) totally in love with merchandise Mike haha... although we didn't get to say goodbye as Andy was ill and so he had to leave *sigh* burt yea he's SOOOOOO cool haha!!
Also, Dan, you're THE SWEETEST guy I think i've ever met haha. I adore you. You made my travels amazingly worthwhile (I know Dan will never read this, just yuo know, felt I had to tell everyone about the Dan loving haha). Damian, you're just so beautiful. Even if you are talking about eating spleen and bone marrow, and throwing bottles. Thanks for the pen haha! And Andy, well I only spoke to you when I was drunk, and I apologise for what I may have said. But thanks for getting the other guys to come meet us at Wolverhampton And Tim, ahhh, genius haha. You're so tiny and weird (in a totally cool way haha) and thanks for making me feel stupid for it not being near my birthday 
So yea, I'll write reviews tonight fingers crossed haha.
I officially have just had THE BEST WEEK ever hahah!

Liverpool, 7th October
I had to get the coach from London to Liverpool, and it took 2 hours longer than expected. Not only was I uncomfortable, I was surrounded by weird Ukranians who were REALLY annoying and two women who were talking about yoga and how they get up at 5 in the morning and meditate for 2 hours. I wasn't impressed. I was convinced (thanks to newletter) that OKGo were playing first, so I managed to convince the man i was staying with to come see the guys with me. I was wrong of course, The Cinematics opened the show. I was highly suprised, having low expectations of the opening band, they blew me away. They were actually incredible. Their set was also made humorous by 2 crazy fans dancing away in the middle of the room. Ok Go were amazing, as they always prove to be. It seemed they played more songs this night than on any other. Some girl (who was stood next to me in the audience) shouted 'the fix is in' so they played that too along with generic setlist
*Don't Ask Me
*No Sign Of Life
*Here It Goes Again
*You're So Damn Hot
*Good Idea at the Time
*Get Over It
(*The Fix is In)
*Oh Lately its So Quiet
*Invincible
*Do What You Want
Obviously, wonderfully followed by dance to A Million Ways... which Damian said the were 'fucking shameless' for doing but hah, you gotta love the genius behind their plan. I had to leave as soon as they finished as my friend was pretty annoyed about having to stay like an hour later than he said he would.... i think he wanted to nail his housemate.... it was also damians 30th birthday today, but i didn't discover this until monday at wolverhampton
Wolverhampton, 10th October
This day I travelled with Ryan to wolverhampton. We got there at 3, so we were pretty early.... we had A LOT of time to kill, which lead to much drinking in pub. The venue for this show was VERY strange... there were massive tables with chairs everywhere, and the hall was quite oversized to what would actually have been needed capacity wise. The lights at this show were really pretty. Damian wore bright red trousers - they looked sexy lol. Andy has on the exact same clothes as he did on friday *strange*. The show went well, setlist as above, and then when it came to the all inmportant dance they xouldn't get the stage lights to work, so they got on the floor into the crowd. my favourite 'dance' of the entire week. Didn't feel as much of a tit singing along with ryan by my side singing too
Nottingham, 11th October
Wow, Nottingham is a nice place, but annoyingly hilly. And as ryan said, it has a large ratio of weird to normal people, which was highly apparent as we walked around hehe. I had to buy new clothes today cos I felt dirty. this clearly didn't bother Andy though, who was wearing the same clothes again hehe. As we were waiting for doors to open, we went into a pub and low and behold Dan walked in. strangely enough, it was just after 'don't ask me' had finished playing on the jukebox.... Anyway, we had a really nice talk and i showed him my old school badges haha, thats rght, i'm hardcore!!! Dan seemed genuinely sorry for missing me the night before and told me he would sign all my stuff that night. I was drunk for this show, which was moved from rock city into the rescue rooms, and we missed the cinematics as it started so damn early. We went into the venue at 8pm just as okgo started playing don't ask me, which i was pretty bummed about. being drunk, i thought i'd missed a lot more of the show than i actually had. Here comes the best part. Ryan got me a birthday card signed by OK Go, along with a signed t-shirt. It was a really wonderful surprise!! OK Go were amazing tonight, damian's voice was a little sore (or so i'm told) so they played a violent femmes cover instead of oh lately its so quiet. It was strangely fun, as damian ended up right behind me and ryan shouting his head off, (he has such beautiful teeth!!!) and being all, well, damian lol.
After the wonderfulness of corowd dancing the day before, the normal dance seemed a little average, but it also went down without a hitch. As Brendan Benson was playing we hung around the nerch table and got friendly with Mike ( the merch guy) and The CInematics. I think they are some of THE nicest guys i have EVER met in my life. The shoes which had been given to Tim the day before were on the merch table for sale for £2.... the cinematics donated them to us, and they all signed them. Then we got all og OKGo to sign them. Brendan benson, on the other hand, wasn't being exactly friendly (or polite) and refused to sign the shoes. We hung around for so long after the show that I think the security guards thought we were with one of the bands, and we ended up getting into the club next door for free with the cinematics!! So yea, more drinking, boogying etc etc. And then Damian shows up (he had been in the bar next door talking to somebody about sound or something lol). He’s pretty wasted and appears to enjoy standing at the back of the mass of dancing bodies and just watching. SO ryan and I go and dance with him to ‘an honest mistake’ by the bravery, damian dances pretty pretentious like…. But you know what, he’s hot so he can pull it off haha. Ryan talks to me about Damians ‘pervy’ smile while he sings… I’d call it suggestive, seductive maybe haha, but who cares. So then, as we’re stood near the bar somebody throws a bottle of beer on the floor and it smashes. Enter damian’s eyes lighting up like a small childs at christmas…. As ryan is beding down to tie his shoelace a beer bottle goes flying past his face about 2 inches away…. Right from damians hand. Thanks for nearly hitting my boyfriend over the head with a bottle damian (although you have apologised for this and reinacted it with us lol) that wouldn’t have been a very fun instalment to the story hehe. Oh yea, Dan offers to put us on guestlist for the Cambridge show was we really want to go but can’t really afford it. Yay, more shows!!!!
Cambridge, 13th October
So we get there and Dan hasn’t put us on the guestlist. Thankfully ryan and mike have gotten pretty ‘pally’ (lol that’s so not a word) and so we just get someone to get mike who vouches for us and we get in for free. Then dan saunters over, saying he was just coming outside to get us from the queue. Hmmmmm… There appear to be lots of okgo fans in Cambridge, and we teach mike the word QUID as he apparently doesn’t like to say pounds, and when people ask him how much things cost he just says the number. He charmingly says it with some distorted british accent, its quite cool. Why can’t I remember anything about this show?? We spent most of the night talking to mike and dan. Everytime I go to take a photo of andy he notices me in the crowd haha. Mike says he’ll get us guestlist for the London show (meaning we can bring 2 of our friends for okgo fun!!!) We get back to the station only to find there are no trains and it takes us 3 hours to get back to London and we consequently miss a friends bitrthday party. It was totally worth it!!
London, 14th October
So my friend Kim from Denmark arrives and we go to the show with our friends. We get given our guest passes with privileged AFTER SHOW highlighted on them. WOOT!!!! The show is really cool, although to our dismay mike isn’t working on merch as the venue has its own merch guy (who is boring and sounded pretty gormless and was in NO way as cool as mike haha) so we don’t get to see him for a long time. We talk to dan again, asking him where everyone is, he doesn’t really know lol. The show was amazing and my friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves… Through the power of Dan we manage to smuggle my Danish friend into after show too, and dan tells me he saw me singing along and gives me a massive goodbye hug (ahhhh, my final show blues
I can’t be bothered to write anymore, I’ve just writeen like 1600 words about okgo and I have coursework to do lol, I should really start it!!!
ANYWAY, needless to say, yea, it was by the best week of my life, and so much fun, and I love OK Go more than ever… and my show count is now oooooh, 7!! YAY!!! Lol
Congrats to anyone who finishes this and sorry for all the typos, jen xxx
