OFG Hiatus 11/5- 11/30

I am currently having or had a baby! Please hang in there without me, until I can get everything settled with a newborn in the house! I have programed a couple of posts for my hiatus so play stay tuned I will be back! Stay tuned for baby photos as well!

Oasis: A Year On The Road

I know am supposed to be on hiatus, but today at work a follow co-worker bounded out of her office yeilding "Oasis: A Year On the Road". This would make more sense if you know I work at a library and I could not believe that my little old library had an Oasis book I did not have! For I was unaware that this book is availble at US Amazon for $24.95! So go now buy it!

OFG Notice

Just so everyone knows and rest assures that OFG is not gone, but presently on hitaus due to the fact at the moment I am 37 weeks preggers! I apolizged for the lack of updates, being pregnant is tiring :) Anyways please come and see us in December (maybe sooner!) when OFG will be back:) Thank you for your support!

Live Forever

Oasisy Wedding

I was looking through some photos, and came across my wedding! I know what does that have to go with Oasis ? Well were talking about me here! I married the biggest Oasis fan I could, we were brought together by A LOT of Oasis kismet! So it was only fitting our wedding had a bunch of Oasis touches. Here is a peak of what we did, feel free to use the ideas for your own special days!


1. Instead of numbers we named all the tables after our favorite Oasis songs! It was hilarious watching the guests search for Oasis song tables!

2. At our cocktail hour we had a pianist play Oasis songs on the piano, it was very classy, yet very US.

3. We had a signature drink we called a "Champagne Supernova" , it was champagne with blueberries in it!

4. We gave out CDs has favors. The track listing started out with "our song" Songbird and ended with the Songbird demo.

5. Our transportation to the reception was a white 1967 Rolls Royce, similar to the one on the cover of Be Here Now.

6. The inside of the our wedding rings read "No one can take us" (my husband) and "No can Break us" (mine).

7. One of our wedding songs was "Songbird".

It was quite a day. Funny part is that in the church during the cermony the pastor actually mentioned Oasis! It was crazy !

7 Stages of Oasis Grief

I am sure you have noticed the lack of updates here at OFG. Its not for lack of time or ideas, more like inspiration. Honestly I feel like my heart is broken and I just can’t get up that madferitness that used to run through me like water. I am not sure if everyone else is feeling like this, and the only really "theory" I can relate it to is the 7 stages of grief. Typically used for death, and I maybe being dramatic, but I think it relates. Here are the original 7 stages if you would like to read them. Below I have Oasisifed them.

Stage 1: SHOCK & DENIAL
August 28, 2009 that faithful day, nearly 15 years since Definitely Maybe debuts we learn the news. I remember reading SCYHO.com and staring blankly at the screen, not comprehending what was going on. Then denying it as I searched and searched for better news. About an hour later I came out of my "office" hysterically crying.

Stage 2: PAIN & GUILT
Did you crying for 3 days? I did. Do you regret not going to that Manchester gig? This is just a miserable phase. You feel terrible, shocked and maybe still denying some of what’s happened. For me I couldn’t stop thinking about Noel’s broken red guitar.

Stage 3: ANGER & BARGAINING
Right now I would say I am in this phase. Very angry at Liam and Noel for not realizing what they had, and just leaving us hanging like this, while they are off on holiday. Don’t they care about all the fans they are hurting?! They I start thinking about January, maybe it will all be different, maybe just a break will do it for them?

Stage 4: "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS
We will start to look back with fondness, with love and sadness. I listen to bootlegs now from 1994 thinking, dreaming of the "way they were". When they had fire in their hearts, and just a love of rock n roll held them together.

Stage 5: THE UPWARD TURN
We will start to learn to live without Oasis being a "working band". We start to find other music that makes us some what happy for brief period.

Stage 6: RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
Starting to really live with it all. Maybe you don’t check for news as often? Maybe your obsession wanes a bit, as you look for something else to occupy your free time and you won’t think about Oasis 10 times a day, maybe they will cross your mind once.

Stage 7: ACCEPTANCE & HOPE
We start to look at the goodness that Oasis have given us over the past 18 years and draw out the good memories. "All Things Must Pass" right? We will start to look Oasis as a whole, not just an ending.

Hopefully this helps a little, I know that I am stuck between stage 4 and 5 at the moment, so I hope fans of this blog will bare with me and know I haven’t gone!

Happy Birthday Liam!

The Oasis Fan Guide would to wish Liam a very happy 37th birthday!
