This past weekend I had a dream….it was oddly, mostly normal for me but still weird. I went with Elissa & some of her other friends to this concert down the street from where we live. But the venue was where this gas station-turned-Mexican restaurant actually is so I thought it was strange but didn’t really pay attention to it. The venue looked like some old theater in the front but when you went inside….it was like a Coliseum-shaped venue, like “we had gladiator contests here” coliseum. Like, bowl-shaped with the stage bottom and to the front & the chairs going progressively upwards. But they were these wooden chairs with the folding seats from the 60s or something where your ass falls asleep after sitting for 10 minutes. All I remember is that there were loads of hard core rockers there & Elissa, her friends & I all dressed in our normal concert clothes. Jeans, cute top, not over done, stuff like that. I was feeling a little awkward so I decide to go get a drink in the front & then I run into Elissa’s parents. Who are actually sitting on the other side of the venue…..with their church group. I chat & visit with her parents for a bit before I go grab a beer - except the venue doesn’t sell any beer, just liquor. What’s a girl to do? So I grab a whiskey coke (I think?) & head back to friends. The opening act is starting and it’s Dashboard Confessional. All I could think of was “well, this is different” & went on listening to them play. It was a good performance but I was in the mood to hear, like, rock music, you know?
It’s like intermission at this point & I decide that I really need a drink. So again, I go out to the venue & I’m assuming this must be some Straight Edge convention because the bar area’s practically dead. Awesome, no wait. I decide I’m gonna drink for everyone that’s not & get some tequila. Since that solves ALL problems. This dude leans over the counter near me & asks the bartender for a couple of shots. The bartender motions to me, I guess I bought the entire damn bottle idek but whatev. Said dude asks if he can get a shot/ glass off me & I look up & BAM Chris Carrabba’s standing thisclose to me looking all lonely face with a cute sad smile. Apparently, dude only agreed to play here because he really owed a friend a favor & he couldn’t believe that he even did agree to it.
But it was fun hanging out with Hot Ass Chris Carrabba for a while drinking some tequila - and not going all shit-faced frat girl on him.
Also, Jason Castro’s in an Overstock.com commercial?? That’s adorable
