Inspiration

Tues­day, went to see Stero­lab at the Metro with a bunch of friends (and friends of friends).
The gig was good, and fun was had by all, but that ain’t what I’m gonna talk about.
Some­thing odd hap­pens to me when­ev­er I go to a live gig.
My mind wan­ders.
This is dif­fer­ent to what hap­pens when my mind nor­mal­ly wan­ders.
There I am watch­ing the band and hav­ing a good time and sud­den­ly I be hit with a great idea for a sto­ry, or an inter­est­ing thing to do if I ever made a sound instil­la­tion, or a redesign for my busi­ness card.
Of course I get hit by real­ly stu­pid ideas too (like the one about mak­ing a busi­ness card where the text and the back­ground were the same shade of orange), but they are fun­ny and get dis­re­gard­ed straight away.
This does­n’t hap­pen when I sit down and lis­ten to a CD instead, only ever at live things.
Me thinks I should go to more live stuff.
