dayglow
like most universities, suffolk usually hosts a concerts for students every year. the past few years that i have been here i’ve gone to a sean kingston and girltalk concert and a ludacris concerts. they’ve both been awesome. usually the artists that they get are not typically bands that i would pay to see normally, but for $20 why not go see ludacris at the house of blues? it’s really not a hard decision to make.
this year, though, instead of having a concert in the traditional sense suffolk hosted dayglow. it’s basically an international touring house music show that pulls in a bunch of different djs depending on the location and throws a huge party. but here’s the best part– THEY THROW PAINT ON YOU. yup, lots of paint. awesome, right?
it was one of the most fun things i have done in awhile. i know this wouldn’t be everyone’s favorite thing, but i like house music, so jumping up and down for a few hours and getting splattered with paint sounded like something that i didn’t really want to pass up.
and i am really glad i went. i had so much fun. i didn’t get nearly as much paint on me as i had planned, but i just danced for four straight hours and honestly that was enough for me. i’m having a hard time walking (really, you should see me try to walk down stairs! it’s pathetic) because my calves are so sore. i guess i haven’t jumped up and down for four hours in awhile.
here’s a little proof of how serious this thing is:

leidy and i after:
completely covered in paint. and leidy’s nothing compared to the guy we rode the train home with. he literally had pools of green paint sitting on his head. i’m sure he had a fun time getting it all out of his hair. this show has got my roommates and i wanting to go to other house shows. i’m sure there will be some coming to boston soon but there probably wont be any paint. haha
