Went to see McFly for the 9th time last night. They played at Wigan Haigh Hall, which was awesome as it’s only 30 minutes from me. They played their Radio:Active set for the final time but with a twist in the middle – Tom and Danny did a short acoustic set.

Since it was a Monday the earliest we could get there was 7pm (I normally try to get to standing gigs at midday/mid afternoon.) I thought we weren’t going to be able to get near the stage, but we managed to get a pretty decent spot at the back of the crowd on Tom’s side. While we were waiting for the support to come on and leave, we laid on the grass and pretended to watch the clouds, but they weren’t much to look at since there was just one big slightly grey, threatening-to-rain cloud.. But it was still fun. And we had ice creams!

They promised us new songs from now on so I’m really looking forward to that! The only new thing they showed us was their new logo, although they did play a fraction of a second of a new song – although apparently that was too much. Pfft! Hopefully we’ve not got long to wait.

Something else I’m really looking forward to is Toy Story 3 later this month. How come we have to wait longer for this in the UK? I want to see it now! I love Ken already – can’t wait to see all the Barbie/Ken moments!

I’ve now got the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack as my new driving music, so I can pretend I’m riding my horse chasing after a bounty as I drive down the M62! >D

@NASA: Star Girl by McFly to be played in space! The station crew will hear the song during the Oct. 21 ISS Tweetup.

How awesome is this?! Not only is it a fantastic song, but it’s also relevant. XD
