austin city limits

i want to go back to standing there in the heat for two hours waiting for Conor to sing for me. i want to feel what i felt when he sung milk thistle. i want everyone to disappear again and its just me and him. i want that emotion to hit me across my face like it did that evening. even if i was alone surrounded by 65,000 other people. I was happy. I never felt so happy being alone. i was having the greatest moment ever. it was just like seeing him there and all this time i've waited for this day to come. where I would finally see him near me. He peformed all the songs off his new album. and he did it with emotion like I've never seen before. I'm so grateful that I had the oppurtunity to go austin to experiance this. i'm gonna miss this. i might see him the next time he goes to austin. lets just say i really really enjoyed myself. there's this picture I took of him and the sun was reflecting on him while he was singing cape canaveral. it was perfect. also the drive was lovely. my mom stopped and i took a couple of polaroids of the sunrise and the fog and it was just so nice. we listened to my cds and i feel asleep with them on. we ate breakfasts and took turns talking. Daniel Johnston signed my acl poster. that was his art by the way. I think mason jennings recognized my name because of the forums. i bought cds and a shirt. i got lost and almost cried. i walked down the highway with the bikers and crowds and i went to ihop and borrowed someone's phone because my died. we ate at taco cabana at 12am and i laughed like never before. i can't wait to go back =)=)
