Chalupa Blackout
My Midnight story started with a nighttime road trip home. I was at the wheel with my brother riding shotgun, and he wanted to play his nighttime driving playlist. He played Jason, Sunset, Vampires, and Days of Thunder.
After a few more nighttime drives and listening to this playlist, I started to dig it. Then I started to do a little more digging myself and listened to a few other songs and I was hooked. Brooklyn, Monsters, America 2, and Los Angeles were added to my Liked Songs on Spotify there after.
In October 2021, I was listening to a Midnight song on YouTube, then I saw that they were playing a show in Toronto, where I’m from, in March 2022. And it was on a Saturday night too! I went ahead and bought tickets to that show for my brother and I.
At the time of the show, I had also got a few other friends hooked on The Midnight, and they joined my brother and I at the show. There, I met two fellow Midnight Discordians. I had the absolute time of my life at that show! I’m belting out lyrics, jumping up and down like a kid hyped up on sugar, you name it!
The one moment I will always take away was when the other two Discordians and I were screaming FIRE during the chorus of CYHOD. At the time, it was not released and they were introducing it as a new song, but we knew about it because we had bought tickets to their LA show that they broadcasted online. We got a smile from Lelia after the first chorus, and took it as acknowledgement. My friend later told me that people around us were looking at us kind of weird whenever the chorus would hit, and we’d belt out FIRE.
Since then, I’ve gone to see them in Seattle, where I met up with Rachel (Mjeowlnir) and a few other Discordians, and Buffalo, where I met up with Pauley. I’ll be going to the upcoming show they have in Toronto in October.
