but now i got a different viewwww yeah it's youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
sorry this is late. things have been going NON EFFING STOP since last wednesday...
and here's the story about the past week.. enjoy ya ya
well siobhan, lynne and stacy already kinda updated a bunch of what went on, so i'll cover different stuff as to not borrrrrrre you (if you want to read their stuff, go to beatlemaniac11, nerds_rock or lickthestar)
but yeah yeah. wednesday we watched malibus most wanted and died. because jamie kennedy is a god among men. or just really rad. whichever. oh oh and in the grocery store, we serenaded stacy with "i'll be loving you forever" by the new kids. OH HELLZ YEAH. and then she wasn't too freaked out to get on a plane and leave HAHAHHAHAHAHA.
and then. detroit. that was a good time. you know. no big.
hahahhahahahaha i'm such a liar. it was GREAT! the show was awesome and the strokes were great. the set was nice and jam-packed with room on fire shizz and is this it shizz and nyc cops shizz and angry julian hahahaha. and yeah he was trashed and climbing up things hahahaha. i really like regina spektor after two showings of her and need her records...
we were pretty close but i get all freaky around crowds who act like they're about to kick my ass. just real nervous and blah and i don't think a show's worth it if i'm too crushed to actually SEE the stage...so i moved during the 3rd or 4th song (reptilia) back into where there was more space. so i could DIZANCE. none of that sissy moving back and forth.. but full out dizzancing. yeah boy. some guys behi nd me started singing "American Girl" during the beginning part of "Last Nite" and that was a genius move.. making fun of the strokes while at the strokes concert. GOOD JOB GUY!
oh hahahah. before the show, lynne' dared me to give crackmano a hot hot neo n button i had made (we gave them out in detroit and chicago. if you want one, lemme know.. they're pretty hot. hahahah. even if i did them at 7:30 am thursday morning... ) but that was pretty uneventful. just a mere.. "hey matt. here's a button i made" but yeah. that guy looks way too much like pinky of pinky and the brain for his own good. hahahahah i know im not the first to say it, but that was the first time i really noticed it. oh man.
toward the end of the show.. the only hot king of comedy (th e one that looks like adam and beck if they mated) came over in my area. i was about to say "good show" but he got intercepted by some hos. that's ok. ahhahaha. i ain't no ho. hahaha his greasy hair was a little funny. ok. it was REALLY funny. anyway, i s orta swooned when he was smoking and watching the show right behind me. hahahahahhahaah. but i CAN'T LIKE NO KING OF COMEDY!! OHHHH NO NO NO.
oh oh here is my stance on the kings of comedy. in case. you care. and if you don't well eh. skip this. it's no t that they are BAD.. per say... i tap my toe to their tunes... but i would never just say to someone.. "you know what i really feel like listening to? some kings of leon...." UNLESS. UNLESS THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE AROUND.....
1) a rickety porch
2) a hou nd dog
3) moonshine
4) mah rifle
5) a rockin chair
NOW. if they would just wear coonskin hats (rachel's idea) and overalls with out shirts (my sister's idea) and SING about hound dogs and moonshine. well. they'd be my favorite band ever. i also think the y should do a song purely jug-band style. now THAT would be a good time.
oh oh ! and during is this it (the encore) i met regina and she rocked out with me and lynne and that was the total highlight of the show hahahha.
moving on. because kings of comedy stories will be in yet another post. ahem.
after the show we went to a bar for a bit, then back over to the stage doors to see if we could meet any strokes. ... i got some nice moustache disguises (one included an eyepatch... that was the pirate one.. HUZZAH) from a joliet dollar store and halloween pez dispensers for the guys. cuz if anyone would wear moustache disguises, the strokes would, right? RIGHT (see thestrokes.com tour diary for proof of this theory... scizore.) ... we made fun of matt romano a lot as he packed the gear exclaiming NARF a lot and i would say thi ngs like "i'm not SAYING he does crack cocaine. i'm just saying he DOES crack cocaine!" (note. i don't actually have proof matt romano does crack cocaine. but i don't have any proof that he DOESN'T either. hahahha. sick.)
yah yah. so albert comes out wi th the largest vodka bottle i'd ever seen. hahahahaha. and like.. makes everyone drink it. hahaha. as in he told a girl he wouldn't sign his autograph until she did. oh man. i gave him the halloween bag and told him it was for the whole band and the guy l ooked like he had NEVER EVER gotten a present before in his LIFE. and then he grabbed me and hugged me and kissed my cheek real loud like.. thrice.
hahhahahahahahhaahahahahahahaha hah
oh man.
that's enough of that. hahahha.
he tripped over ice and exc laimed "why is there ICE just SITTING HERE! don't they know there's starving kids in argentina!!!" and then he promptly ran into the side of the tour bus.
hey albert. um. yeah. y ou rule. hahahhahaa.
we met fab too who was REAL nice and goofy and wanted to talk about sex and the city. hahahhaah. i gave him a neon button and he was like REAL AMAZED by it, so i gave him some more that he said he'd give to his friends back home. it was pretty funny cuz he was like "i'm glad you picked a good picture of me." yeah. cuz ... you know.. there's SO MANY bad pictures of fab. hhahhahaha no.
we caught the tail end of julian blessing detroit and then headed hizome... cuz i had to work yo!!!
oh oh. one more thing. this is a note to all who read. you are messing up your band karma if you LIE TO PEOPLE that an opening act is your favorite band and then they let you in cuz that's just manners and then you refuse to give them their spots back after your "favorite band" is offstage. it doesn't matter in the long run, because i left my spot, but yeah. one day... your "favorite band" will really be the opening act but you will have bad bad rock karma and you will deserve it.
that's all i have to say about that.
friday i worked and we made buttons at night and watche d vh1classic MC SKAT CAT OWNS YOU ALL AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT. and then saturday we went shopping in the city. in chinatown there was a way rad gold cat who was doing the carmine. WHY DIDN'T I BUY THAT DANG CAT!! AHHHHHHHH. and then i ate stacy's sandwich. like. her scraps of her sandwich. hahahahahahaha. oh man. that's funny. we went to a karaoke bar where i sang livin on a prayer, stronger and tainted love and it was wayyyyy too much fun. it was cool all of us were real giddy and happy and singing and m aking friends hahahaha. this one guy (a goofy guy who kept interpretive dancing all night) started to talk to me at the end of the night, but we had to get to nate's bday party, so i gave him the address but he was a no-show. ahaha. i hope our buddies are there the next time we go back. they sang lotsa good songs and shizzzzz.
oh. btw. we also corrupted stacy. she is now malibu drinking stacy with special kung fu drinking actio n. oh yeah.
then we got to the party and i don't really want to talk about it. hahahahaha. nate wouldn't open his heroclix cuz he figured out they were heroclix. brendan showed up with a bunch of his freinds (and he told me i kept punching him and he th ought he was going to fall off the roof. oops.) and well. i don't really want to talk about the party haha.
by the time we got home. it was 5 a.m. .... i drove siobhan to the airport at 7 a.m. and slept again from 9-11 before leaving for another round of strokesssss. this time with claire and rachel and rachels bro and stacy! we m ade hot hot neon buttons in line for a couple hours and stood up front for regina and kings of comedy, but then went to about the middle of the room so that we could see the wh ole stage but have enough room to dance and sing... we tried to convince rache l's brother josh that there was a sixth stroke named jeremiah who played the key-tar, the wall board (keyboard mounted on a wall) and the calliope and that room on fire was ac tually much more "circus" sounding to try to tap into the carnie demographic. je remiah is not photographed because he is native american (chief plays-the-keytar is his indian name) and i don't remember WHY he's amish but well... he is. hahahaha. ohhh ble ss jeremiah!!!
and yeah. um. horatio is the kings of comedy roadie who looks jus t like them. he actually stands behind the stage and plays the notes for the chewin tabaca 16-year-old. we have stories about him yes we do. they will be released at a later date.
horatio owns. don't you forget it.
so yeah. the show was GREAT! and i had sooo much fun dancing and singing with claire and rachel!! it was way rad and i think better than detroit, showise and lights wise and etc etc. after, we met up with fred dy and brian who were being. hahhaha typical them... and they wanted a ride home. but the jerks wouldn't follow us all the way to the car and they were like "just pick us up at the corner" and i was like NO WAY! and so.. we just didn't hahahah. brian said they waited for 45 min for us to pick them up. hahahha suckas.
got home at 1:30, left for the airport at 5:00... went to work after airport. died at work monday. like DIIIIIEDDDDD at work. hahahahahahaha.
tuesday i got a hizaircut that the lady styled REAL DAMN BAD hhahahaha. and this morning i drooled over the jessica video which i taped off subterranean last night. oh holy shizz that's a hot video. hahahahaha.
this was long. i know. i need to be better on updating. ya ya yaaaaaahhhh.
coming up, on ce i hear it, is the story about how brian somehow saved a family from a fire. he wouldn't tell me it over im but said he'd tell me on the phone next time he talked to me. hahaha. oh man. this should be a good one. unfortunately, freddy and brian aren't a s universal in their geniusness as i thought they were. but ehhhh. no matter.
