Royal Blood started their US tour on July 15th 2014 in Charlotte, NC.<\/p>\n

I was really excited about this concert, hoping for many long weeks that they’d come to America and tour, and that I’d be able to see them on that tour, somewhere.<\/p>\n

I do search for many bands on tour, and don’t devote every search to every band, so I was a bit behind on Royal Blood’s tour, I guess. Like following others on Twitter, one just doesn’t see every tweet made by those you follow. Your stream gets a good reading now and then, but not 24\/7 and then you don’t go to a particular twitter account to see what they’ve tweeted lately either, very often.\u00a0I was aware of it in advance though, that much is good.<\/p>\n

The only way to see Royal Blood on this tour was to travel to Charlotte, NC. I was able to get my hubby to agree to it (sometimes there are horrible schedule conflicts due to his work.) We drove\u00a0to Charlotte\u00a0the same day as the concert, a few hours of drive time.<\/p>\n

It was a threatening-to-rain sort of day, just look at the leaves of Maple trees and you can be certain something is going to happen (when you see those turned over leaves the whole drive from home to NC, for instance.) And eventually it came pouring down. I got really wet that afternoon, in the front only and looked awful. Oh well. We were out of our hotel and not going back until the after the concert.<\/p>\n

We didn’t want to go anywhere, so hung around the venue in the parking lot for a bit. My husband wandered inside to see if there was an ATM and came out a bit later with Ben. Holy Cow!<\/p>\n

I’ve always had sensitive skin, very pale and totally the summer colouring kind of person, see thru skin. So … colour photographs of me on a day like that, anathema. But anyhow here’s me, with a lovely filtering of the colour applied to the photograph.<\/p>\n

Royal Blood and me! Left to right: Ben Thatcher, Me, Mike Kerr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The above photo was taken awhile after that. Yes, that’s my Stone Sour 2014 Dead Generation shirt I’m wearing. I think (no, I KNOW) Royal Blood will get me to sign up when\/if they offer a “club” — Stone Sour has been the only one I’ve ever done, so far.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this story, coming soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
