Angus and Julia Stone

I'll admit im one of those fans who live of the sound of one particular bands music.
I can sit for hours on end -listening to my ipod, cd's, and vinyls (and yep you bet ya! I got vinyls to listen to too) of that one particular band and if you havent guessed yet its the Australian folk acoustic band Angus and Julia Stone. It's true music is like a drug, and i have no idea what id do if i didnt get my daily dose of Angus and Julia Stone.

You could say i worship them like Christians worship Jesus. Get this right! I even have got to the sphyco extent of emailing their manager and begging if i paid good money they would come play for my birthday, but of course i didnt get a reply. Oh and dont get me started when i found out they werent going to have an under 18 show in Sydney. I cried hysterically and searched around to get a fakey.. To think that this little blond girl in Western Sydney would go astray without seeing them you were deeply mistaken. I sent the manager a email (yes another email) telling her how dissapointed i was! And before i knew it idk if it was God, or some angel looking over me but they ended up putting on a show just for the under 18's! You should of seen me when they did.. ahha..

I've had so many dreams about being at that concert.. that they pull me up on stage and suddenly im singing the lyrics to their songs. Angus kisses me. They ask me to join Angus and Julia Stone.. Yeah i know im a freak. So many times ive dreamed about seeing them face to face.

I dont know if it was another angel or what but they said they were going to do a signing at Warringah Mall, Brookvale. WHICH IS IN SYDNEY! My friend Bradley and i knew we wouldnt miss it for the world! Not even if we went through hell.. and thats exactly what happened!

It started with the alarm.. on the most important day it didnt go off at 10 when i set it! and why is it the alarm never works when you want it to but it always seems to work on school days.. But luckily or not so luckily an sms woke me up from bradley telling me he was going to be at mine soon AND I WASNT EVEN READY ! AND i didnt even have the time to straighten my hair. I had to settle for the curls and im not even kidding i was going to go in my pajama gypsy pants i was that excited.. and rushed.

I quickly looked up on Cityrail.com.au the quickest way to get there but knowing my luck the printer decided not to work and the computer took it time loading. Oh and i found out it was going to take me over 2 hours. So i wrote everything i needed on a piece of paper.. or so i thought. The door rang and i was so glad brad was early cos i knew we would just make it. It wasnt bradley. It was my dad. He wanted to stay for coffee but i had to tell him to leave i felt so bad but im sure he understands why. Finally Brad arrives and we only have 15 minutes to head down to the station.

"OMG WHAT SHOULD I BRING? ILL MAKE THEM SIGN MY GUITAR? SHOULD I WEAR THEIR SHIRT? SHOULD I BRING THEIR CD's? OMG HURRY UP TELL ME WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME" i screamed to Bradley. So much questions were going through my head and i wished my alarm went off.. I ended up just bringing my guitar and i hurried out of the house. Half way down to the station Bradley couldnt find his phone and thought he left it in my house so he had to go back.. i could of killed him. WE STILL NEEDED TO BUY OUR TICKETS. OH but dont stress Elise cos the trains are down and you have to take a cityrail bus. OH THANKS GOD. THANKS HEAPS. NOW IM NEVER GOING TO SEE THEM! and why is it all the time deros talk to me on the bus? THIS DAY COUDLNT GET BETTER!

We finally get to Blacktown and catch the train to Wynyard but get this.... WE MISSED THE STOP TO WYNYARD! By the time we finally got back to Wynyard our bus was there and unfortuately for us we didnt know where to get off the bus cos i didnt print off the map on city rail so here we are taking a stab at life and hoping for the best even though our morning wasnt the best.. or planned.

We finally arrived at Warringah Mall by chance and when we got there the Mall was like a maze we didnt know where to go or even where the customer service desk was to ask where to go to. And i didnt even have a Texta for my guitar to get signed. So all that heavy lifting was going to be pointless! Luckily we found the service desk and eventually found the place they were signing at.

The line was long and we were 40 minutes late. It was a miricle. And i cant tell you how beautiful they both look close up. Angus looking like a rockstar with his sunglasses on and Julias beautiful smile -ive never seen anything like it. You bet ya i cried.. Angus shook my hand and in the biggest high pitched voice ever i said "hiiiiiii" I ended up buying their album and they signed it and i even wrote them a letter which i gave to angus and he said "oh wow" and im like in my high pitched voice "yeahhhh" ahahah i couldnt be more speechless in my life.

It was the best day of my life.. and everything that went wrong.. was worth it.
