Up now and get 'em boy...
As if you even had to ask... Franz Ferdinand was totally unbelievable. I got to see my favorite band live, with my best friends who also love them, and we were so close, and it was so perfect! Here's the set list which Becca and her mighty long arms grabbed for me so I didn't have to search around the internet for a list to remember exactly what they played:
This Boy
Come On Home
Do You Want To
I'm Your Villain
Dark of the Matinee
L. Wells
Eleanor Put Your Boots On
Walk Away
Take Me Out
Darts of Pleasure
40'
Michael
The Fallen
Outsiders
This Fire
Everything was so good. "This Boy" turned out to be an awesome opener, no one saw it coming! L. Wells was just so cool, I loved it. I went absolutely nuts during "Darts of Pleasure" and thought I would explode when I was screaming "ICH HEISSE SUPERFANTASTISCH!" Ah, I feel bad, I want to talk about every song, because everything was so good and awesome for it's own reason. No encore, because they were double headlining with Death Cab for Crappy, but that's fine because the set was great and we got out early.
Of course, one of the best parts of the night was meeting the band after the show. There were many idiot girls there, bragging about their red hair and doughnuts, but Franz could just tell how much cooler we were, muahaha! I pretty much cried after meeting Alex I was so nervous and happy, but I pulled myself together for Nick. We talked to him for a bit longer than Alex, and then he went to talk to some other fans. After much debate, we decided that Andrea and I would ask Nick in German (he was born in Germany!) if he would sing "All For You Sophia" for us, being the Nick lovers/history nerds that we are. So I said,
"Nick! Ich habe eine frage fr dich!" (Nick, I have a question for you!)
And he was kind of shocked and happy, but didn't hear me and put his hand on my shoulder, leaned in, and said, "Was?!" (What?!) haha.
So I repeated myself, he said "Ja," and then Andrea asked "Wollst du fr uns "Sophia" singen?" (Will you sing "Sophia" for us?)
And then he got all embarrassed and started saying "Nein! Nein!" but he was laughing, and I kept saying "Bitte!" and he looked like he felt so bad, but then he said "We'll play the full thing next time we come here!"
After that, Bob came out, and it was rather awk. He's very quiet and shy! I got my picture and autograph with him though, and then decided that since I have a picture by myself with Alex and Bob, that I needed one with Nick. So I went back to Nick for the third time, and said
"Nick, kann ich eine Foto haben?" (Nick, can I have a picture?)
And Nick, being the totally lovely man that he is, just smiled so big and said "Ja, Natrlich!!" (Yes, of course!) And pulled me so close, at which point I almost died. While waiting for the picture, Nick said "Das ist schn, du bist ein gute studentin." (That's beautiful, you're a great student.) So of course I just got even more woobly and managed to say "Danke!" and then Ellen and I floated away to the van.
That's so long, and I probably forgot many things, but that's how it is for now. If you were bored by this, then screw you, because I'm so wonderfully happy!
