Igar var jag hemma kanske i 30 minuter pa hela dagen. Forst rehearsal hela formiddagen, sen lunch med Lilja. Promenerade runt i den slaskiga snon. Satt i en vantsal i evigheter och sedan snabbt hem for att slanga i mig rester fran lunchen. Jim kom hem, bytte om till torra strumpor och sedan ivag till Brooklyn.
Jim fixade i sista minuten biljetter till konserten som Amnesty International annordnade pa Barclays Center. Imagine Dragon, Pussy Riot, Blondie, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Susan Sarandon, Yoko Ono, Madonna, The Flaming Lips for att bara namna nagra. Vilken otroligt lang kvall. Varje band spelade 3 latar vardera. Manga langa tal. Filmklipp mellan spelningarna. Men det var intressant att hora lite mer om Amnesty’s arbete.
Vi var hemma efter 1am och jag tycker sa synd om J som behovde ga upp tidigt for att ga till jobbet. Vi stannade sa lange bara for att jag sa himla garna ville se Yoko Ono. Jag trodde hon skulle halla tal och presentera ett av banden, men det visade sig att hon “sjong” den forsta laten nar The Flaming Lips som var sista bandet kom upp pa scenen. Sa det ar mitt fel att vi stannade sa lange, annars hade vi kunnat ga efter halva kvallen, hahah.
Yesterday I was home maybe for 30 minutes during the whole the day. First rehearsal all morning, then lunch with Lilja. Walked around in the slushy snow. Sat in a waiting room for ages and then quickly home to eat leftovers from lunch. Jim came home, changed into dry socks and then off to Brooklyn.
Jim got in the last minute tickets to the concert that Amnesty International arranged at the Barclays Center. Imagine Dragon, Pussy Riot, Blondie, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Susan Sarandon, Yoko Ono, Madonna, The Flaming Lips to just name a few. What an incredibly long night. Each band played three songs. Many long speeches. Videos in between the bands. But it was interesting to hear some more about Amnesty’s work.
We were home by 1am and I feel so sorry for J who had to get up early to go to work. We stayed so long just because I so badly wanted to see Yoko Ono. I thought she was going to make a speech and introduce one of the bands, but it turned out that she “sang” the first song when The Flaming Lips which was the last band came up on stage. So it is my fault that we stayed out so late, otherwise we could have gone home after half of it, hahah.
