So I took a little time away from work and dolls and just life to see Dir en grey twice this week, on the 5th and 7th as they started another US tour. It always feels like a gift to be able to see them live, since at one point I never thought I ever would. I've seen them 4 times total now, the first ever was in New York at the beginning of 2006 when they first came to the US and it's still just as amazing as it was then. The first show on the 5th I got very lucky and ended up front row center against the railing which is a great spot to be so you don't have to worry about looking over heads and getting smashed between bodies but it wasn't exactly where I wanted to be so the second show I ended up on Die's side after the fourth try XD I love watching him, he's been my favorite since I got into them about 5 years ago, (though I had a brief spasm over Kaoru) and I still get overwhelmed just by watching his expressions change and his hands as he plays. It was a good night to be on his side since he was much more energetic than the first one and ended up climbing on top of the big speaker and letting people grab at him and his guitar with a giant grin on his face *__* Obviously I'm still on a bit of a high about it.

I already can't wait to see them again, though I am a little happy that I'll have a little break, standing in line and exhausted for three days straight isn't something I can do an a constant basis, I'm a wimp like that.

And now I have to stop neglecting my dolls and start taking more pictures of them again, I have some dusty boys at the moment x__x
