KLAXMANIA

Friday the Klaxons Djed at the Diesel store in Union Square. They were about 40 minutes late and I got bored and started writing in my Moleskine pretty stupid things like:
No one else is here to see them but two journalists and me.
Two girls came and left.
My feet smell.
I should try a black angular haircut.
my bag says KLAX in rainbow tape.
I'm here alone, what a loser.
I should try high tight shorts with seamed tights.
Where are these boys.
By the end 7 people came to see them and then a bunch of management and label people. I made friends with a guy who i think is on their management team and told him that they must play at Jelly NYC's McCarren Park Pool Parties this summer because I'll be working there. Then he brought me to Jamie and James (Steffan was also there but somewhere else, Simon was not) and when Jamie saw my bag he was like: "Woah, THAT'S ON ANUVA LEVEL!" and James said something i can't remember. Then they signed my shirt because I've accidentally made it my thing to have bands sign my clothing (eg. The Strokes, Sexy Magazines, Marilyn Manson, Franz Ferdinand (those last two just happened to be around)). Then they asked me if I was to attend their Studio B show and I said no because I was busy (which really killed me because it was sold out and the management guy was offering me a free pair). Then I sat around and talked to the people at Universal about how none of my friends know the Klaxons and how I always have to con them into going to any music with me because none of them really share my taste. I wish I didn't just sit around and had hung out with them a bit more because they were talking to everyone and hanging around for aobut 2 or 2 1/2 hours (although that wasn't the last time i spoke to any of them). In the end I got a free Diesel bag from a contest which was great (I was about to say 'it rocked' until I stopped myself) and a load of stickers. Basically the day was amazing and I accidentally fell in love with James because before I was like 'that boy is cute' but I got there and realized he is not much older than I am, severely good looking and has quite a nice personality. I guess I'll have to wait until next September (James said they'd be back then) to reunite with one of my favorite bands. Also, when I left Jamie was like 'A for effort on that bag, it's terrific' or something like that. 'Twas nice.
