Another KANE weekend!!
OMG SO MUCH FUN!!!
did not even take the camera this time. the last few times, i have felt like i was missing part of the show by trying to get pics. and i know that i have kind of a lot, so i let it go. LOL.
Friday, went to M'burg after work. Met w/ bestie's best guy, who lives up there, and we went in and joined the Kaniac sheeple trying to get in. Our spot was pretty good and we had a GREAT view of the bar before the guys started, and the stage once they did! i would say it was the perfect vantage.
OMG THE SHOW ROCKED!! the guys were having a blast and the audience was right there with them. there was ass slappage and crotch grabbing and a whole lotta Jack. LOL. couple of new songs too, which rocks my socks.
I got to give the "awesome show, you guys ROCKED IT!" to all five guys after the show b/c they walked right passed where i was smoking and chatting w/ other Kaniacs. Not quite the "actual convo" from December, but eye contact AND words nonetheless.
Got to Desi's to get some sleep at 2 am. Crashed in her son's room and the Chiha thought that i was the new puppy bed. (gat's crate is in Aid's room). Woke up at 9 and was the first one up - WTF?? LOL. Desi and the kids went to the gym (they have a kids group when she has a class and they didn't want to miss it) so i jumped on her treadmill and got in my work out. Side note: i now understand S@H moms using laundry detergent as weights - totally works! We then had a great day and dropped the narls off at her mom's house to make the 2 hr trek to B'burg.
OMG! we figure that the area of Appalachia we had to drive through, we passed at least 10 houses where cousins were fucking. *nods* We did have a close call at a gas station bathroom. Was driving with my knees together and had miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. FINALLY saw a gas station and i all but laid rubber turning in there. Two Indian guys behind the counter. yes there is a bathroom, but for customers only. but yes, i can buy something after i have peed. so i go back. ... ... ... in retrospect, i had to pee more than i thought i did at the time. there was this poorly-lit hallway with a posterboard that they had written "bathroom" on with an arrow. said at the time, "This isn't rapey at ALL!" Desi watched the door. two guys up front kept telling her "go on back, it's ok, no one is back there." EEP!!! thankfully we did NOT end up all Lovely Bones about it. But the jokes for the rest of the night DID include a Ballywood version of Deliverance.
Get back in the car and not TWO miles further is a new, brightly lit Exxon. i told her that they need a sign that advertises that they are "at least 87% LESS rapey than the compition".
Sign seen on the way:
CAUTION!
low-flying
slow-walking
swans
yeah, that HAPPENED.
you all know that i am a country girl. i grew up with Amish neighbors. i wore shit-kicker cowboy boots from 7th grade on. i have TWO cowboy hats that are NOT ironic. (one rabbit, one oilskin). and I was pretty much floored by the kind of windy-ass back roads we were taking. PennDOT is really good at saying "hmmm, there's no way i'm gonna actually create a highway to link these points. let's take these forty seven tiny-ass back roads and give them all the same number. it's totally the same thing" this has been their plan since there was a DOT, and they're staying firm on it.
So we FINALLY get to B'burg. basically, it is a tiny oasis of semi-culture-becuase-we-have-a-college in the middle of bumfuck nofuckingwhere. but there are sidewalks and street lights and parking lots. so, yeah.
got in line for the show and just as we get moving to get in at the Will Call - i realize that i do not have my phone. some bastard STOLE MY PHONE!! i don't care that it's a $10 trakfone, it's the principle of the thing. i had JUST gotten that one too! last week. *growl* We tried calling my number a few times, but whoever took it was smart enough not to pick up. again, *growl*.
but i was determined to have a good time. so we went in and got right up near the stage. there was one person between me and Steve b/c everyone else bumrushed for center stage to be near Chris... but you know i'm Steve's girl. LOL. I was good though. i did NOT lick his arms. i was close enough i could have gotten away with it. and he was just lit enough that i could have gotten away with it. but i BEHAVED.
Desi is now a Chris/Steve slasher too. she's not happy about it. but with the LOOKS and the ass slapping, yeah, she's in agreement that that shit happens.
The guys were having a BLAST up on stage. this venue, even though it's the same franchise as M'burg, is MUCH smaller. like, one girl was up dancing on the bar and Chris was able to read her shirt. But i think that made it more awesome, ya know? Jay and Steve were giving each other shit. and Jay was WAILING his guitar. he was totally in it. it was epic.
Desi got a little lit. Scratch that, she was a "little" lit before i got her up into the barber chair. IDK what that shot WAS, but it pushed her over. She insists it wasn't that bad. But Blanche was out, y'all. Yeah, she's one of those chicks who gets Southern when she's lit. the drunker she is, the more southern. And Blanche was in the house. But whatever, i was driving, and she was having her first real Night Off since the breakup 8 months ago. So it was totally allowed.
Finally got HER home at 2. and got ME home at 3:15. Then i got up to go to work Sunday morning.
Sound like Angie Harmon today, but at least the voice has sort of returned. Also, did not go to the gym today. i needed the SLEEP.
epic weekend was epic.
and watch out for those swans, y'all. you can spot them by the crash helmets.
