Long time no post. It's not that I've been avoiding TheO or the internet but no means is this true....it's just I've falled vitcim to Twittering...a lot and often updating my Facebook. Warning while this post tries to be brief there is a bit of fangasming and a lot about concerts. June provided a bit of fun with two really great concerts from Reely Rotnz and Lions. Went to the Rotnz show with Bunny....took a ton of pics, rocked out....got my first broken drumstick AND got it signed, drank with everyone haha. Next day they ended up asking me the next day for them...I felt so awesome XD Following week went up to Austin to hit the Lions show with Monkey....ended up running into Duane there :shock: I mean I knew that he was a long time friend of Tony, one of the guys in Record Hop, but still it was great to see him and met his friend Maggie that night *although I wouldn't remember that until MUCH later* another night of taking a ton of pics, rocking out, drinking....got my first setlist from Lions...did a bit of fangirling and generally being silly but it's 6th street and me so Xp I was planning on hitting up another Lions/Here Holy Spain show the following week but I ended up not having anyone to go up with and a bit of car troubles =[ Oh but the night before that show was set to happen I did make another local show where the crowd was sadly small and the bands awesomeness was wasted on the few douchebags that were there pretending to be cool. July started off with a bang! Went up to Austin for Saffron's birthday...slash 4th of July. I was called the Willy Wonka of 6th Street that night due to my pimping purple top hat. I also paid tribute to Micheal Jackson with killer dancing to Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal XD We found a new bar that we really liked and a few that we won't be going back to. Saw fireworks shooting over the lake and met some of the nicest coolest people...I also got requested for a few pics X3 Then July kinda dwindled down into a lonely spiral of home time. That all ended when I went to see the Judas Priest/Whitesnake concert. That was pretty epic! No real fun stories here but one hell of a show I tell you what. August was full of trips not being in town. Went up to Austin to see the Ida Maria/Glasvegas show...met Ida Maria she's so fucking awesome...met some more wicked cool Austinites. Did the Dylan/Nelson/Mellencamp show in town...TONS of fun! Poor John was seriously sick so he ended his set by bringing up a random guy my age from the crowd that had been singing all night to sing "Hurt So Good" which John even stated is a song they haven't done live in a LONG time. Went to Louisiana to gamble with my family....slash celebrate my father's birthday. Went to San Antonio to attend San Japan OMG my first con as a con goer NOT as a worker. It's waaaaay different on the otherside...they did well to plan as much as they could for the space they had but really in the end I was quite bored with con stuff and as usual tried to find entertainment in other places. Oh and night one I had already planned to go out of the con to see Quiet Company...I was really happy to see them again! I only wished I could've had someone go with me!...even though I went to the con with Chrislea she doesn't do live concerts AT ALL....and I was supposed to meet someone up there but he never showed up =[ Following weekend went up to Austin again *I really have been trying to make at least a monthly visit up there LOL* to see Lions before they went back into the studio...slash after they came back from touring the midwest....slash for their music video shoot. That's right I'm gonna be in another video for a band from Austin LOL. KILLER TIME it was! Quin and her little sister came down from Fort Worth it was great to see them! Basically copypasta the last Lions concert only add more chaos, drinking and me fangirl screaming. The next weekend was the second annual Dia de los Toadies *FANGASM* This time it was only Saffron and I that went up there but we had a BLAST. Great bands, Mariachis to play between sets, good people and did I mention Great bands! HAHA! Quin after much debating joined up with us a little into the Toadies set and hung out with us after the show...she also scored me a setlist from the soundboards THANKS again Quin and Edo! Started school...it's going alright so far I think. September....went up to Dallas for the last trip anywhere that I've taken in a while now. Went to celebrate Vaden Todd Lewis' (lead singer/songwriter for Toadies/Burden Brothers...slash all around badass) and see Tendril and Here Holy Spain. Surprised the hell out of Duane...which meant my mission was accomplished....he nearly glomped me when I first said hi to him XD That was another KILLER NIGHT....for all the fun we had. Hung out with everyone that night mostly Quin and Duane. Met Maggie again and remembered her after a bit of fangasming about...trailers j/k....a little. Met a lot of kickass people some for the first time some for the *insertnumberhere* time since they're always drunk or it's been a long time since I'd met them origianlly. Made my trip up to Austin to see Motorhead and Reverend Horton Heat. Saffron and I misjudged the time it would take to get there so we missed Nashville Pussy but hey at least we made it for the main show. Which was AWESOME! Ended up getting a sweet spot in a patio area near the stage. I got a few pics since we weren't close enough to get really good ones but in that few there are some good ones. After the show hit up 6th street for a bit of drinking. Other than that it's been school and random hanging out with friends in town. List of events I'm looking forward to: ___________________________ RealmsCon October 2nd - 4th AutMus Festival in Laredo October 10th *still debating on going to this since I'll be probably going it alone* Louisiana Trip/Mom's Birthday October 16th-18th Halloween/Concert October 31st *details are to be hidden on this one* Voltaire Show in Austin November 5th *Voltaire on Guy Fawkes Night COLOR ME EXCITED!* See you on the otherside
