Slowly coming down from a work-craze. What a productive year this ended up being, professionally ! By the end of the year my workload should have decreased significantly.
Haven't had much time to spend on bluelight by I have been lurking whenever there's time. Not many swirly stories to share either, but a couple of weeks ago had a fun one.
Roger Waters was touring south america but the tickets were outrageously expensive in my country. When they started selling them I decided I didn't want to buy them as I would be conforming with a price that seemed abusive. But closer to the date I started regretting my decision as I really like Pink Floyd and it would have been nice going to the show. But by that time the tickets were already sold out. So when I noticed that the show was gonna be in a stadium that's pretty close to where I live (Like a 15 minute walk close), I decided to go anyway and listen from the outside or something. I took 25 mg 2C-C and went with my girl.
We initially sat on front of the venue, but the traffic noises and the fact that volume apparently wasn't too high was making the music a lot harder to listen to than I had imagined. I was surprised, anyway, that a lot of people were actually doing the same thing as us. As music wasn't as clear as I had expected, we got into the parking lot of the venue, and we managed to walk all the way to a point that was closer to the stage and sound was a little bit better. A lot of people were trying to jump the fence of the parking lot to sneak into the show, we cautiously followed them but eventually got kicked out by fucking cops, while "Money" was blasting inside the stadium. I wasn't tripping hard, but I guess the phenethylamine buzz from the 2C-C was making this feel like some sort of grand adventure lol.
After the cops expelled us from the parking lot my girl got fixated on trying to find some way of sneaking in. By then I was more in the "lets give up and find somewhere we can sit down, listen to the music semi-decently and just chill" mood, but when we eventually found a way into the area going through a smaller entrance that led to some yard behind the stadium, she just wanted to keep getting closer and closer to the stage and I just went with it. Hilariously there were a lot of people trying to do the same, we were in a group with three other guys at some point and we managed to get pretty close to where the stage was, but there were a lot of security guards and they were doing their job very seriously.
So after many failed attempts to get into the stadium we eventually settled on a grass field that had no lights on, and was actually just behind the stage. There were like 15 more people, and when we got there some guys made gestures with their hands so we would stay quiet. Ironically the only thing separating us from the audience was a big concrete wall.
The show was long enough so that when we eventually got there we had like 1 hour of music still. Of course the sound wasnt perfect, but it was a fun anecdote anyway. And I got to listen to Waters sing "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" while watching faint visuals in the silhouettes of trees in a dark field surrounded by people enjoying the same crappier version of the show.
