wait whaaat there's a Panic show tonight
I haven't googled "NYC Events Today" for like 3 whole days and LO AND BEHOLD google is telling me that Panic are playing tonight at the Roseland Ballroom! Is anyone going? I would totally spend the however much they're charging even though I barely know anything from the fourth album and I believe there will be no Spencer Smith ;___; but probably not if I'm alone soooooo if any Bandom peeps from around here are going please let me know :D? :D? :D?
SPEAKING OF WHICH let me tell you about the type of AU that I now believe is totally realistic. You know the fics where Spencer leaves the band and becomes an accountant and leads a normal office life until one day his past comes back to haunt him and all of his coworkers are like "whaaat you were a rock star once!" and that's probably my favorite, albeit not very plausible moment in the fic?
WELL. There is a dude in our office who looks not unlike Spencer Smith (not as hot but come on), and he's this boring quiet desk job guy around Spencer's age, and last week all of a sudden someone pulls up a youtube video of some guy rapping and gasps, "Oh my god, is that you?" and next thing you know the entire office is crowding around in shock as we view this dude's, like, rap/hiphop video from 2008 that has over a quarter of a million views. He had an album! He was not unsuccessful! All of which is to say: sometimes the suspension of disbelief required for harlequin AUs is not required at all. JUST BELIEVE.
...and tell me if you're going to the Panic show tonight!
