“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.”


(George Eliot)

Hey!
I just got back from London and soon I'll put up some pics.
I also saw the McFly concert in Wembley Arena, it was AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT!!!!!
Such a great and energetic show, they are so much better live (If it's even possible)! I had so much fun! There was a really good vibe and atmosphere, it almost seemed and "intimate" concert, although we were 13.000 people!
Gosh, I'm so hyper...I'm just smiling all the time since the concert....

This is the setlist they played:

That Girl
Friday Night
Obviously
Star Girl
Transylvania
I'll Be Ok
