I have 2 jackets on!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Due to money we had to sell our Nocturnal rave tickets.\u00a0 But when it came down to deciding if we needed to sell our Thom Yorke tickets we just couldn’t do it!\u00a0\u00a0 We are SUCH Radiohead fans, and since the tickets were much less than the Nocturnal ones we decided to go.\u00a0 And boy were we NOT disappointed!\u00a0\u00a0 Considering his latest solo album is very, very rave-like, it was like being at the best combination of Nocturnal and Radiohead.<\/p>\n

But…. it was at The Greek… an outdoor venue and boy, was it COLD!\u00a0 We took a Lyft there so we could indulge and for NO REASON got there before doors even opened!\u00a0 Perhaps it was excess eagerness to get out of the house!\u00a0 The tickets were on Sex God’s phone all ready to show, but lost internet connection when we got to the actual gate so we couldn’t pull them up and had to walk over to the ticket booth which had better reception and then RAN to the gate so they could scan them before we lost connection!\u00a0 Nothing like a bit of hilarity to start Date Night.<\/p>\n

Just a clip of the concert<\/a><\/p>\n

We wandered the small venue, found our seats and cheered when other people began filling up around us, because it WAS COLD!!!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A lovely gay couple who sat right next to us and as soon as they sat down we struck up a conversation because their hair was as dyed as mine and so we HAD to discuss that!\u00a0 At a break they left and came back with Hot Chocolate so when we got the itch to walk a bit we looked but couldn’t find where it was being sold at the venue.<\/p>\n

The opener was one guy on a large drum set and wow… just wow… he was AMAZING!\u00a0 I was flying so much and the seats were so far away that honestly I thought it was Thom Yorke!\u00a0 I know he’s proficient at drums and my brain just registered it all as “Well, it’s Thom Yorke, sure the first few songs are just drum solos”\u00a0 Then the guy spoke, told us who he was, thanked us for listening and left.\u00a0 I giggled at my assumptions!<\/p>\n

So in that break we went walking a bit again.\u00a0 Our neighbors did the same and when they came back they brought us a Hot Chocolate!\u00a0 So wonderful!\u00a0 Later during the concert they were smart enough to scamper down to closer empty seats.\u00a0 Rule Breaking like that is really difficult for me and Sex God was happy enough with the view so I didn’t have to be the wet blanket for him.<\/p>\n

Thom Yorke didn’t disappoint at ALL.\u00a0 But sadly my high wore off too early and since I wasn’t at Coachella where I’m able to spread out to dance, I began to really feel my feet with all the standing.\u00a0 I ended up towards the end, sitting in my seat, with my eyes closed, feeling the music to my bones.\u00a0 (while trying to stay warm!)<\/p>\n

Knowing how difficult the reception was we skipped the crowd waiting for rides and opted to walk ALL the way down the hillside to better reception.\u00a0 There were many people ALSO walking with us and across the way a guy puking and dry heaving (LOUDLY as he walked!) lol….\u00a0 poor, poor neighbors!!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We finally made it down, called a Lyft and got home where I huddled under MANY blankets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
