Oh, I love your movie and TV show picks!! Welcome :-)
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Hello all I'm not exactly a lurker since I just now joined the board but wasn't sure where else I could introduce myself soooo...

My All-Time Favorite Artist: Not gonna lie... it's The Beatles. Favorite Books: IT by Stephen King. Favorite Movies: The Graduate, Almost Famous, Love Actually, A Hard Day's Night, Gone With the Wind, Get Him to the Greek Favorite TV shows: Not one to watch much tv... Seinfeld, I guess... First Concert Attended: Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band. I was up front, Ringo tried to touch my hand and I thought I would die if we actually made contact. Unfortunately, the orchestra pit was too large for us to reach each other but the fact that he tried meant the world to me. Years later, I met him in England and I got to touch his hand Last Concert Attended: A theater production on Lennon called "Just Imagine" starring Tim Piper. If you're looking for my last concert by someone famous, then it's Peter Frampton. Bonnaroos Attended: 2013 will be my first Bonnaroo Wishlist: Paul McCartney and Tom Petty-- seriously. Lucky me!! Would love to also see Thenewno2, Robert Plant, Ben Harper, Sean Lennon

Many people would probably agree with you HakunaMATTata but unfortunately, it's not for me. I had images of back to back outdoor music fests, bare feet, and concerts galore. Unfortunately, none of the above goes on here. None of the indy acts I listen to play here. Many of the larger acts overlook Florida too. Where I lived in Ohio, we had everyone on earth play as they passed through. Not the case here Thanks, Popsicle Sarah, I'm gonna check that out right now!

I know, I've yet to go to a show since I got here a few months ago.

Oh, I just saw you live in Florida, too. I'm near Orlando. Traffic is madness and I'm just having a hard time adjusting. My brother moved to Tampa a few weeks after I moved here and he loves it. It's a personal preference I guess. Trying to make the most of it but probably won't stay once school is done.

We sound like we have a ridiculous amount in common, including proximity! It makes me excited to see other people coming to Roo who are similar to my own tastes. I love it!
