Okay, okay. I know. I haven't written anything in ages. But honestly, I haven't done that much lately! I've been trying to plan a few trips and book flights here and there (upcoming: London & Dublin) and therefore have been almost too broke to do anything outside my normal routine. It has been getting pretty warm here in the afternoons, so outdoor cañas are slowly working their way back into my life. Ahhh, la primavera ha llegado a la ciudad. That's a line from my favorite Spanish band, Delafé y las flores azules, who I got to see live on Friday night! They played at Joy Eslava, a legendary Madrid nightclub that I honestly would never even dream of going to on a night out, so not only did I get to see a great show, but I got to check out a place I may have never seen otherwise. Friday was their last show ever (supposedly) since the band actually split up a few months ago... we arrived a little late so we were stuck on the high balcony, but I still danced and sang like crazy and bounced my way home after the show.
And two weeks before that, I saw Megafaun, one of my favorite bands from NC. I saw them a few times during Hopscotch 2010 and their music just makes me so nostalgic. I had a blast and talked North Carolina with my friend Laura and one of the guys from the group after the show.
And the week before that... I saw Future Islands! They were in a really cool venue called Boite Live and put on a fantastic show as usual. I bought a sweet t-shirt with the tour dates on the back... Madrid was #1.
In just over two weeks I'll be heading to London for my spring break and mom's gonna come too!! I can't wait!
