I saw Lindsey Stirling live! /fangirling

Yesterday, Lindsey Stirling begun her European tour from Helsinki. I bought tickets the minute they were available, and yesterday me, my husband and Stormiina headed out to The Circus in Helsinki to see the show.

I found Lindsey Stirling's music sometime in 2012 and she has been with me ever since. The first ever song I heard from her was Crystallize, so I was extremely happy that she played it last night. The show was amazing - energetic, visually stunning, funny and at times a bit sad (or maybe I was just so happy I was almost crying?) - and I loved every second of it.

We managed to get pretty close to the stage and I managed to snap some decent pictures (well decent considering I took them with my phone in poorly lit conditions). Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Spread the Lindsey love!









"Guys, I said Lady Gaga, not Nicki Minaj!"
(To get the reference, go see this video from the gig.)






















































Oh, and I made this Finland Monster and tossed it out onstage:



Lindsey picked it up and named it Kumquat (Seriously, could she be any more perfect?!)... I was so stunned that she took notice of my gift that I failed to take a picture with her holding it... so if you have a picture or video of her and the Monster named Kumquat, I'd like to see it, please!

I also made matching shirts for me and Stormiina (because of course I did):



So yeah, my feet hurt from standing (first an hour in line to the venue, then two hours in front of the stage, waiting for Lindsey) - and jumping (because when it's Lindsey Stirling, you have to rock out no matter how tired your feet are!), but I wouldn't have missed the concert for the world. I'm so happy she came to Finland and I got the opportunity to see her live. ^_^

So thank you Lindsey and thanks to everyone who was out there with me! Lindsey was amazing and we were amazing!

love,
scoundrel
