Now that I’ve realized how near the new school year is from now, I’m beginning to get really afraid. I just don’t want to fuck it up all over again. Twice is totally more than enough..

Last night couldn’t have been more wonderful. I went to Los Angeles with a few friends (+ Sam) to see Laura Marling live. We arrived at around 5:30 in the evening, so we had some time to waste, and decided to just grab some ice cream at Rite Aid. Crazy thing was that as we were approaching the entrance, Laura herself just happened to walk out and right past us. We caught her attention for about a second and she smiled. She is so pretty and precious in person! Really lovely. I wanted to squeeze her, I’m not going to lie.

Dylan Leblanc, the opener, was great. He held his own throughout the entirety of his short set, but he was obviously really nervous. Then again, he did say that it was his first time in LA. His nervousness didn’t really matter much though, because he was pretty fantastic every time he just sang. I wish he was more popular; I think he deserves it!

Laura Marling’s set honestly could not have felt any dreamier. I don’t think I would be exaggerating if I said her voice was flawless, because it truly was. She is an incredible performer, and for someone who is only twenty years old, she obviously has a long and prosperous career ahead of her. I can’t stress it enough! She was so, so, so wonderful and I would recommend seeing her live, because I know I definitely will be there the next time she plays in the Los Angeles area. I think it’s safe to say that everyone at the venue felt pretty sad about her set coming to an end, because it was just that good. I knew she was going to be fantastic, but my expectations were certainly exceeded. She’s a really talented vocalist, performer, guitarist, and songwriter. Not to mention the fact that she’s terribly sweet, pretty, and simple! As if I couldn’t adore her any more.

After the show, we hung around a little bit in hopes of getting to see Laura again, maybe even take a picture with her. Unfortunately, we didn’t, although we did meet the wonderful Charlie Fink from Noah and the Whale. Needless to say, we were all incredibly excited and giddy. He was a little awkward, but so terribly handsome! Swoon. Oh, and on our way back to the car, we ran into Dylan Leblanc and got to tell him that he played a great set. No big deal.

All in all, we were pretty much high from happiness throughout the entire night since it seemed to just keep getting better and better. I expected to have a great time beforehand, but it turned out to be much, much better. I mean, when life’s good, it’s really good!
