Franz Ferdinand

So my favorite band is playing in town tonight, Franz Ferdinand. They are an incredible band live and if you like alternative rock or U.K. bands - check them out at http://www.franzferdinand.co.uk/. When it comes to this band, I seem to get lucky.

Last year they played in town and they were playing a private studio show for some lucky radio fans who won some contests. I decided to take a chance and I e-mailed the radio station (http://947.fm/) asking if there was any way I could go to the session. Low and behold - they said yes! So I got to watch the band play a few songs for about 15-20 people. We chatted a bit, super nice guys, great afternoon. Then went to the show that night - great show - and went to the karaoke (sp?) after and they were there drinking and singing - fun to watch.

Fast forward to this year. Last week the radio station held a daily contest to win passes to the VIP party for Franz Ferdinand. Lucky me - I won one of the days! Yeah, that's write, two lucky wins. I know what you're thinking - no one you know ever wins one of those, well, I guess sometimes they do.

So, after the concert tonight I get to chill in the VIP area of a bar, watching the groupie girls throw their half naked bodies on the band and giggle and drink my booze. It will be a good time. I've never been on "the list" before...how very interesting this will be...
