I'm going to see the Foos tonight and I'm SO excited!
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to make this post, because I'm so freaking excited and I know you guys will understand!
I live in the Netherlands, and my brother and I went to the Pinkpop festival in 2015. The lineup was amazing, but the Foos were the cherry on top of the cake! First headliner Muse was amazing. After they finished the set, news came in that *someone* broke his leg in Sweden, and it wasn't sure if the Pinkpop show could go on.
The next day we heard that Dave had to undergo surgery and thus couldn't perform in the Netherlands. I was absolutely devastated, as I had not bought tickets for their Ziggo Dome show later that year as 'I was going to see them at Pinkpop already anyway' and tickets were just too expensive for me.
Fast forward to sometime last year. My brother now living in Austria messaged me saying 'hey, the Foo Fighters are coming to Vienna, do you want to come over and see them?' And I immediately was like 'ah yESS HELLYEAH!' But also 'I don't know if I can do that, because it's a 10 hour drive to Tirol (where my brother lives) and then another 5 to Vienna and I suffer from Cerebral Palsy, which makes me wheelchair dependant, and severe PMDD. My energy level is usually very low and I need a lot of time to recover from everything.' But my mom said 'we're just gonna go, you need this. I'll drive.' And she even comes along to the gig tonight, even though she doesn't even like the Foos that much. (She says she's going to count the amount of times Dave says 'fucking' tonight lol)
Tuesday we traveled to my brother, and yesterday we made the trip to Vienna and met family. Last night I cried my eyes out because I was so goddamn exhausted from all the travelling and my whole body hurt. I slept like crap so I'm still pretty tired, but it all doesn't matter anymore BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SEE THE FOO FIGHTERS TONIGHT! <3
Sorry for the long story, I just needed to get it out, thanks if you made it through here. <3
Edit: I'm wearing the shirt that has Dave's X-Ray on it. Thought it was hilarious lol
Edit 2: ohmygod. This was easily one of the best nights of my life. <3
