So when I heard Gossip were coming to New York I was pretty excited. I was excited to see friends I hadn’t seen in 4 or 5 years, but I was also excited to meet friends who have achieved a pretty enormous amount of stardom. I mean, I’ve never really been friends with Rock Stars until now, I wonder what it is like?
The show was great. It was the first time I had heard Apache Beat or MEN, and I was impressed by both (although in different ways). The Gossip played an incredible show if anyone had been hearing it for the first time, but for me it was incredible to see how similar it was to previous Gossip shows I’d seen 6 years ago. They still make inside jokes and give shout outs to friends and have conversations with people in the front row between songs.
After the show I met up with Nathan behind the venue. It was good to see him and talk about old times and old friends. I also got to meet some people that he had me along the way who now live in New York. He was DJing at a club called Butter and asked if Elizabeth and I wanted to come.
After Butter we went to a party where I caught up with Beth. I don’t know why I was surprised to find out the Beth is the same person she’s always been. But it was refreshing. We talked about my family and hers. We talked about the way things used to be, and about the way they are now. We also talked about how stupidly famous they had become and how crazy it all is.
Saturday night I met up with Nathan and friends again, and we spent most of the night in his hotel room talking and hanging out. It was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time.
