WOW ok so it's been like a month since my last post let's see if I can catch up without making this an uber long post! Things haven't really changed from what they were between me and a certain someone but I did get his attention this past weekend that much is for sure. For the most part classes are going well except that I dropped my Graphic Design course again...the teacher still has a bad attitude and when I tried going back after being out a few classes due to being locked out of my car and then being sick she gave me enough attitude to say whatever and drop it again, I'm thinking about taking it at the local community college if I have to take it again X( In Advanced Photography we've been doing cyanotype prints and Monday I did an epic 7 print set to finish up some pictures I really wanted to do in this style and to give me that one last push to perfect some of the methods I needed to work on before going on to the Gum Bicromate process which I started today. I've uploaded most of the Cyanotpyes I've done on DA even if they were of pictures I've already done.....anyways so today I started up the Gum Bicromate process doing three pictures. One is of me, then there is a white tigher and a statue....so far I have technically one color...two if you count the initial white coating, we're supposed to get at least six colors in but our teacher has gotten as many as sixteen colors on some of his prints but that's our teacher. It's a really cool process just going to be a bit crazy considering how limited space is in that class but I'm looking forward to seeing how things turn out. Other news hmmmmm....did the first concert in the LIONS tour which was kicked off here in Corpus back on 09/05....which unfortunatly for the band was pretty empty. I think there was a total of 25 people there and 7 to 10 of them were members of other bands playing that night. Although it did make it easier to meet and talk with the band members. Oh and that night I picked up the vinyl of their album "No Generation" which all the current members signed =3 It's funny I was talking to Austin (guitarist) for a little while about the tour/live shows and he was saying how they were just playing some of the biggest concerts they've ever played that week with the Toadies and I mentioned how I was at one of those concerts *refering to being at Dia de los Toadies* and he was all like OH! I remember you! That crowd was huge so to not be overwhelmed I tried staying focus on the first few rows...I must admit I blushed and then later that night thought he was just making that up. But we talked Dia and Toadies for a while after that as I grabbed the last two sigs for the vinyl being his and the drummer. Friday (10/03) caught the Clutch concert since Bunny found out about it at the LIONS concert and was like OMG clutch we has to go since that day and since he's kept us drunk on a number of occasions I took him. Pretty cool band I probably would have enjoyed it more if I knew more of their songs I think I actually knew two but there were a few that I could follow along with easily enough and some others that I just somehow kinda knew lyrics to....weirder things have happend...like singing word for word a new single that is being premiered for the first time live and I'm in the front row singing along =0 anyways but that was a lot of fun and my plan of wearing flip flops would have been perfect had they not been sticking to the floor especially when people started moshing *yikes* anyways it was all cool and we met some awesome people there but the real highlight was running into some of the Corpus Ruby team sans the schoolgirl outfits this time...awww. Saturday (10/04) was the Toadies concert X3 Which was AMAZING! Once again I was in the front row on the right side of the stage which meant I was right in front of Clark (lead guitar) X3 In my other reviews I've called myself a train because of the loudness of my *wooooooooooooooooooooooo* screams. On certain songs was a blur of leathal hair and boobs......yeah so glad my buddies were around to molest and poke fun of me during this concert. I ended up taking four of my closest friends which was awesome in and of itself. Matt Hole and the Hot Rod Gang kicked off the show and owned!....seriously I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing this amazing Corpus band before tonight...then again there is a special place in my heart for Rockabilly and the upright bass. Golden Meanies once again brought their mix of punk rock to an already PUMPED UP crowd. Riverboat Gamblers.....let me just say OMG the lead singer is NUTS! Standing on the barricade, jumping over the drummer....and of course the one time he does fall it's a misjudgment of where the mic stand was....OH and he made up a cute story of the Toadies not making it to Corpus back in August because on their way to the concert they passed a burning building and saved eight boxes of kittens LOL so cute. During most of the set I'm a bit distracted by members of Toadies walking around stage. Toadies hit the stage..in full force this time. It was insane...I think this was the most energetic crowd...not counting Dia that I've seen in the past few years for ANY concert. During Little Sin Clark got a hit from a roach someone in the center was smoking and then during Happyface they tried throwing him probably half a joint but instead he put it out since it would have burned down by the time he got to hit it.....at least that is my crew's logic of that. Hell in High Water.....OMG....yeah I was spazzing during the entire song,I'd been putting it after I Come from the Water in my playlist since around the time No Deliverance was released, and it was just a wish fulfilled to see/hear it live. While there were a few songs I was still hoping to hear like Dollskin the show was amazing...even if there wasn't a tease of an encore all the hits were played the crowd loved it. I was hoping to get a setlist but the same people next to me that scored stuff from Riverboat Gamblers got the last one /sigh. Funny thing I realized well after the concert was over was that at one point Clark laughed at me because well....low cut top plus boobs = WIN especially since they were super bouncy since I was jumping around and jamming for most of all of the set....and swaying for the rest of the set which was mellow in comparison...LOL SO this ended up being huge sry but honestly once I started talking about Toadies did you think I'd stop at just amazing LOL List of events I'm looking forward to: ___________________________ Gambling in Louisiana Oct 17-19th woot woot Halloween! and partying until the new month is fully here! Lions Concert in San Antonio *possibly possibly going!* See you on the otherside
