"And when it all comes in it's the biggest thing, it's the blooming night in the white of your bright blue eyes"
- Hey Rosetta, Seeds

Last night I went to a Hey Rosetta concert with Wrecking Ball, Hamlet and, most importantly, my best concert buddy, whom I have already mentioned here and appropriately nicknamed her Hey Rosetta. It was the most WONDERFUL night. Watching Tim Baker perform is just magical. He is so passionate about his songs that at one point I almost had tears in my eyes.

During the concert, I watched Tim flick a guitar pick. I believe he intended it to go into the audience, but it went sideways. At the end of the concert, after the wonderful encore (which included my favourite song, Epitaph - this was where I almost had tears in my eyes, it is so powerful), I attracted the attention of the last band member to leave the stage, one of the guitarists. I pointed at it, made a triangle with my hands, pointed some more, yelling "THERE IS A GUITAR PICK. A GUITAR PICK! RIGHT THERE! CAN I HAVE IT? CAN I HAVE THAT GUITAR PICK?" The crowd was still cheering, and he started to walk away. I didn't think he had understood my request so I pointed and yelled some more. He came back, picked up the guitar pick and gave it to me along with a piece of paper that he had just retrieved from a side table.

That piece of paper was the set list. I was so happy! But I gave it to Hey Rosetta. She is the one who got me into the band, and if it wasn't for her I would not have been going. She was so happy! It felt really good to give it to her. Besides, I had already gotten the lead male vocalist from the opening act to give me his set list, dirty from his footprints and slightly illegible.

The whole night was just fantastic. I don't quite have the words to describe it. Hey Rosetta is one of my favourite bands. The only band that I like more right now is Mother Mother... and I am 87% sure I will be able to go see them perform over March Break! I am really excited. I am just waiting on Wrecking Ball to figure out if he can go or not. If he can't, I may still try to go - take a bus both ways and sleep... where? I hope I don't need to work that out.
