I saw Blur last night and I’m going to see them again tonight!

I’m going to save the actual “review” for when I submit my article(s) to www.junkonline.net & www.Voize.my but I will say this – it was every bit and more of what I expected! Being short sucks but having people empathize for being vertically challenged is nice too (I had this one guy who kept insisting he take the photos/videos for me).

Some highlights of the show include:

Seeing Graham Coxon smiling along with the other dudes.
Seeing Graham Coxon roll around on the floor on the stage.
Seeing Graham Coxon.
Seeing Damon Albarn reliving his younger days doing airsplits and stage diving.
Singing along with thousands to Tender (the extended version)
Phil Daniels singing to Parklife (I wonder if he’ll make an appearance today too).

I’m a little dissappointed when Damon Albarn said he doesn’t know how they can keep it up the next day (July 3rd) – hinting perhaps they are getting a little too old to act young!

Right, so as promised, a little photo journalism of my trip to-date:-

Aragorn blending in with the crowd at the entrance of the departure hall at the LCCT airport on our way to LONDON!

"Arr mi sword. I must withdraw to protect thee fair maiden from the H1N1 virus"

The narrow cramped space that is known as my hostel room

It's Blur time

One of the supporting acts for Blur July 2nd (Foals)

The crowd thickens slowly

New found friend from Denmark, Catrina, and myself...

These guys thought it would be cool to climb that. Security was waiting for them below.

And last but not least, here are some photos I took of BLUR (click for a slightly bigger photo)
