Like Ooooomigod!! Its Axel....Eeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!

Last night in an unexpected stoke of luck my flatmate's girlfriend got sick and they couldn't go to the concert they had bought tickets to.... so I got them! I invited my teacher friend Dolores and off we went.

At first I didn't want to go, even with the free tickets, because I was excited about my plans to go salsa dancing. But when I figured out the the concert began at 7:30 I decided I could easily do both. Why did the concert start so early? Well I discovered that when I arrived and found that over half of the guests were under the age of 19. Yes, this was a concert for the super heart-throb Argentinian ballad singer, Axel. sigh.

Despite the incessant screaming (Brendan I imagined that this must be what Japan is like everyday) the concert was actually surprisingly good. Axel is quite the talented artist. He plays the guitar, the piano, and... the harmonica. Ahhh, I think I'm in love! haha. He's not a bad looking fellow either. Well, all except for the hair. It looks good from the front, and from the 1/4 side view. But a full on side view or a shot of the back.... wow, its mullet mania back there. You see, across the top he has this attractive faux-hawk, but as the cut reaches the top of his head and begins to decend down the "hawk" loses its form and fills out into a full on dirty dirty dirty dry poof mullet thing. Sick. It looks like something crawled up onto his head and died! (haha, I think that's your line Rachel).

When he came to his last song I suggested to Dolores that we watch it from the back so we can make a quick escape (oh, I forgot to tell you our FREE seats were in the 3rd road). When we got out to the lobby I saw that they were selling cds, so I asked how much they were. Only $5 what a bargain. After buying a cd, the guy selling them told me if I stick around Axel (sigh) is going to be signing them. Soooo being the first person out to get a cd (and because I am Canadian and the cd guy thought that was pretty cool) I was the first person to get my cd signed!!!! Well, only until a pregnant woman who apparently thought she had a decent excuse not to wait in line butted in front of me. Inconceivable! So anyway, my turn came soon enough and when I went through the doors to where Axel was the cd guy yells at him, "This girl is from CANADA!!!" haha. I think Axel thought that was pretty damn hot because not only did he sign my cd, but he kissed me twice. TWICE!!! And I definately don't think it was because that's what people do here when they meet. Nope, not at all. I think we might be in love! haha.















Can you read that??? It says:

"Dear Laura, I loved you from the moment I saw you, I will love you forever. Love forever and for always, Axel."

I had to translate it of course, because its written in Argentinian spanish.

All in all it was a pretty fun night. We later saw the band at the same bar we were at, but no Axel.

Here's a little sample of "the Axel". This is like, totally, his coolest song. Watch the crowd eat it up... Imagine me in there singing along like the good Latina-wannabe I am. There I am, did you hear that scream?? He's singing that he wants to be my Love for always. Did I tell you he kissed me? Totally!
