Yesterday I woke up, planning on doing nothing on the first day of my holidays.
Last night I was informed of a $10 concert that was happening in Northcote today.
Today I woke up, got dressed, went to the city, avoided some vomit that was (ironically) outside McDonalds, bought a top, another mug from typo (I'm starting a collection), caught a tram with my cousin & sister to Northcote, was slightly creeped out by an old man with a conk the size of an elephants, and SAW (the astoundingly amazing) WASHINGTON.
aka Megan Washington, aka indie amazingness, aka girlfriend of Michael Tomlinson (Yves Klein Blue, we have evidence that they're dating, we saw them kiss across the street!).
The venue was small, the boppers were many, there were even a few oldies there. But nonetheless, she sounded absolutely amaaaazing.
To be honest, when they introduced her and she started speaking I thought she might've been a midget because I couldn't see her. Took myself and my sister a while to realize she was sitting down at the (very low) piano.
She sang, swore, cracked jokes and drank coffee. Then, scarpered from the venue, as did we.
We were waiting out the front for the tram, and, low and behold, out of the front door (which we'd just come through) came Megan Washington! Complete with indie doc martin look-a-like boots, and a big coat. Her roadies suck though, they dropped her piano and she looked as if she were going to cry.
Some of my cousins' friends asked if they could have a photo but she said she had to rush off to Geelong, so she didn't have the time.
But, as we were waiting for the tram, she had time to cross the road, greet Michael, and talk to him for a few minutes before kissing him. My sister was a little shattered, she's in love with Mr Tomlinson (good choice hey, he's a looker!) but, because they're both so amazingly indie and beautiful in general, we let it slide.
Then I went back to my nan's house, ate some random pasta and now I'm home.
What a day hey.
Megan Washington <3
effy.
