Monthly post time...what? Sorry seriously I've been meaning to post more often. I'll try not to make this too long of a post but in all honestly it'll probably be mostly about music. So let's talk briefly about the end of the year. Went up to San Antonio with Bunny and Saffron to see Toadies, ended up getting VERY lost and making it just in time to secure a decent spot ended up in the second row midway through the thrid song. Took lots of pics as usual and had the attention of Clark *guitarist* most of the show WOOT! Saffron jokes that one day he'll be all like "hey tits how y'all doing tonight?" Snagged a pic with Doni *bassist* and Rez *drummer* shook hands with VTL *singer* I was a bit sad I didn't get to get a pic with Clark.....but New Year's Eve went up alone to Ft. Worth to catch their NYE show with Lions, Boom Boom Revolution and Tendril. Ended up VERY VERY VERY lost in the last ten minutes or so of travel. That was kinda cool though since the little area I kept passing started doing fireworks around 9....it shook my car, I freaked out when they first started doing them. Ended up missing BBR and Tendril TT__TT made it just in time to see the second half of the Lions set. Toadies rocked the house. Right around midnight Toadies stopped playing all the bands came out and we all rang in the New Year. Highlights of that part were getting a blower/noise maker that bounced from one side of the crowd right into my tits *LOLWOOT*, getting sprayed with silly string, beer and champagne, and getting a hug from a drunk Clark *spaz* Started up the year with a quick trip to Austin since Saffron needed a table and IKEA was her dealer of choice. Had another bonfire this time with Christmas trees....one of which was painted pink. It was kinda awesome...were so making this a tradition....Christmas tree bonfires that is. Lions came down to Corpus and while the crowd was small they rocked the House. Actually we used this concert also to celebrate Bunny's birthday. We got him wasted mostly on my bill....I also was going drink for drink with him until I ran out of drinking money. Took tons of pics of Lions which you may already have seen if you've seen my DA recently. Hung out off and on with some old friends from high school. Started up classes again at A&M. This semester I'm taking Printmaking I, Ceramics I and Intermediate Photography. I'm really excited for this semester but I'll end up living there if I'm not smart about time management this semester. Played lots of pool..... Saturday went up to Austin again this time for another Lions concert. Found two new bands that are really cool. One called PJ and the Bear. Ended up taking a pic with the drummer who was wearing a bear suit that night and picked up their CD...which they just released WOOT. Don't really know how to explain their music....old school rock N' roll with a bit of punk rock...maybe. One of their songs "Back to Me" I swear the melody is that of "Earth Angel" anyways they're really fun. Scorpion Child was up next. My friend Joel said they reminded him of Led Zepplin....I could totally see them covering Zep. Inbetween sets we ended up talking to different members of Lions. Talked to Mikey *new member/bassist =p* it was cute he was all like "where's your jacket aren't you cold" to which I pointed out we were at a concert. I ran around in a summer top and jeans I wanted to be comfortable and I didn't get cold or at least didn't realize it until we had long left the concert. Anyways later we ran into Austin *guitarist* and talked a bit about the new stuff/recording and since the Corpus show was mentioned I asked if he'd seen the pictures I posted on teh myspace and what he thought of them. He told me that he actually saved a few to his computer and that I needed to send my info to them so they could put them on their page. I blushed...I never got a reaction like that to my pictures. Told him Happy Birthday before we headed back home to Corpus and that next time they're in town that we should do a bonfire...I would have told him in the first conversation but I didn't know until the set. Ended up being up against the stage during the Lions set...literally close enough for Matt *singer/guitarist* to sweat on me....and during their song "All Hail" be close enough to me that you could hear me on the mic....which he rubbed/patted my head after that LOL. Before we left we also talked a bit with Matt and he said how happy he was that I finally got to see them in Austin and gave me a poster from the show, which Saffron said I was a bad fangirl for not getting it signed....I was so happy just to get it since they were selling them...even though I jokingly told Joel earlier in the night when we'd first seen the posters that I could probably get one from Matt. It was kinda funny for as many times as I've talked with Lions this is the first time where it wasn't like meeting them for the first time all over again...this seemed to be the first time that they remembered me...probably because I wasn't as shy this time around as with the other shows, and their last show was in my town...although I know Austin remembers me from Possum Kingdom =3 Ok I think I've covered everything that's happened in the past month. On a personal/love life note I was talking to Saffron earlier and we were talking about music and stuff I mentioned how I'm still obsessed/in love with my ex and she was saying how if either of us would open our eyes that I'm perfectly matched with another one of our friends....to which I said even if he asked me out now I'd have to reject him just because if we were to go out as something more than friends our dynamic would be totally different...I don't keep lovers but I'll be damned to lose a friend. List of events I'm looking forward to: ___________________________ Ikkicon Feb. 6-8th Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash & Matt Hole & The Hot Rod Gang concert in Corpus Feb. 26th Backsliders concert in Austin March 6th Spring Break March 13-22 =o and not a Toadies or Lions show listed TT__TT announcements for shows need to start already! See you on the otherside
