Took me forever to make a recap of seeing @blurofficial at @thegarden exactly 1 year ago today (link in my bio: full version) because it was the BEST night of my life, best concert I've ever seen, and best band of all time!!! It was all so surreal. I cannot thank my friends, @blur.northamerica (@loreal217 and @mflemaine) enough for getting us into the soundcheck before the gig, that was just amazing!! Love you Damon Watchers! And it was great meeting and enjoying it with @stuporfly! Hope we can all see them again someday. Also a special thanks to my parents, for I know @mspragens loved this night as well. 🎶 I'll never forget seeing blur. I'll never have a fonder memory. As a young, American blur fan (17 at the time), I never thought I'd get to see blur live. Thank you @damonalbarn @tinhats @ajpcheese @davidrowntree most of all. I fully hope AND believe that there is a beautiful future for blur. But if not, or if I never get to see them live again, I will not be sad, for I saw my favorite band of all time in the (COMPLETELY packed) most famous venue of all time in the most amazing city in America. Happy anniversary. #WeAreBlur #BlurInNYC #blurband #damonalbarn #grahamcoxon #alexjames #daverowntree #TheUniversal #TheMagicWhip #MadisonSquareGarden #TheBestDayOfMyLife (at Madison Square Garden)

Finally got time to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my favorite musician of ALL TIME, Damon Albarn. You're one of my biggest influences, as a musician and a person, and I know you will continue to be for MANY years to come. Happy 48th Damon 🍾🎉 P.S. I hope to see you live again in 2016 for the third year in a row (and fourth time ever!) 😎 #DamonAlbarn #HappyBirthday #blur #blurband #BlurInNYC #MadisonSquareGarden #Tender #TenderIsTheNight #OhMyBaby #Gorillaz #Gorillaz2016 #SlowCountry #gbq #Bonnaroo #bonnaroo2014 #TheHeavySeas (at Notting Hill, Portobello Road Market)

Damon Albarn dousing me with a water bottle at Blurlast night at Madison Square Garden. 

Prior to entering the pit, we were warned that if it looked like he was gonna toss water out at us/into the crowd, he was. Saw him coming over and just embraced it. Happy I did.

There are bands you meet again and again at certain junctures. They become a soundtrack for crucial moments in life, sure, but their presence becomes more potent. They move to the foreground and become a driving force for the convoluted plot line we accidentally call life. When I listened to Blur for the first time I was almost pre-teen. Their insistence on British culture, fueled by an uncompromising accent and perfectly ragged tunes, made my friends and I to yearn for different horizons, spaces and experimentations. We grew up as they perfected their craft and defined audio-visual highlights of our daily pursuits. When the documentary No Distance Left to Run made its way to Tel Aviv, we had to see it. When we left the theater I felt confronted with that teenager, with the energies I once felt, with the thrust of the nineties suddenly burning again under my feet. We went for a drink at a bar that no longer exists. I felt powerless and excited, inspired and intimidated. It was a catalyst. It was only a few short months after that that I began paying my dues and kept the promises I once made to myself. we began our journey into the Southern heart of Upstate NY. Its been five years of hard work, dreams that came true and others that we began to imagine together. I thought about all that as I was riding into NYC by train, to meet my wonderful husband, the kind of man I could only dream of as a teenager, after leaving our gorgeous baby with my amazing mother at our beautiful house. Narcissistically speaking, Blur came to give me a reality check, like they always do. As I waved my hand tonight at Madison Square Garden, the one with our recently created family crest tattooed on it, I felt astonished and grateful. Being third row also doesn't hurt. Hope to meet again soon. @damonalbarn @blurofficial @blurnorthamerica @davidrowntree @grahamcoxonhk #blur #blurinnyc
