So last night MCR came to Tucson on the first night of their sell-out current tour. I'm not a huge fan but Black Parade is such a great album i thought i'd go to check them out. The support acts were kinda rubbish as always but MCR played well, sounding less of an emo band and more punk-rock which was good to hear. I was surprised at the mix of people present aswell - ok, yes there was some emo-skinny kids but also older adults (what the???), normal uni people like me just up for a show and the occasional fat guy just there for the moshing.
They performed all the usual songs from the Black Parade album - Welcome to the Black Parade, Cancer and Famous Last Words were my favourites, and also some older songs, ending with Helena during which the crowd went mental and ended the night nicely. But now its back to work and another busy week at university. However, something a little different this week.
The UofA holds an annual student run symposium in the geoscience department allowing students to present and view other peoples work accompanied by a guest speaker, party and fieldtrip. That runs from Thursday to Saturday so ill be sure to be there.
And finally some quick news from Texas. A woman travelling through Lubbock regional airport was stopped by TSA (the American airport security branch) and ordered to remove her nipple ring before going through the scanner. She's kicked up a big fuss about it and described her emotions as... "I felt surprised, embarrassed, humiliated, scared and angry". Wow!
