but it was Saturday night I guess that makes it alright
Oh my god. Thank god "Fort Pastor" came to SAC this week. I've been more stressed than ever at work and was totally thinking about why I was there and then finally the band I booked back in April came. So Monday was a holiday and Tuesday my boss was sick, so no one did anything at the office. So Wednesday when he got there I had to do damage control and make sure everything was ready for the band and I had to hurry like mad to get a light for them- cause apparently when you have outdoor concerts lights are needed- oops. So Thursday I left work early at like 2 to go meet the band at their hotel. So I get downtown and meet them in the lobby of the hotel and we sit and chill and talk for a bit and they were very nice and funny. Jono (the australian drummer/didgereedoo player) and Jeff got there first and Jeff is the one I'd been working on the contract with and talking on the phone with to set everything up. Then Brant came down he's the lead singer. They're from Florida and had never been to San Antonio so they asked if I had time to kill to kinda show them around and I did- so I took them to the riverwalk and they drove 19 hours to get there so they were kinda hungry so we just started walking and as we walked past different places I told them about them. When we got to Dick's Last Resort I told them that its not really the food but what they do to you there that is why people go- like the waitresses are rude and ignore you and throw your food down and make you get your own refills. They were like we have to go there, so we go there and it was just hilarious they crack me up. Jono was the quietest and Jeff and I having corresponded for the last 6 months kinda already knew a little about each other so he was really easy to talk to and then Brant was just crazy and funny, After we left there I told them I had to go to the Volleyball game and invited them but told them they couldn't make fun of my messy car. So we get to my car and they were soooo cramped in and made fun of me like my brothers about how messy it was. Then at the volleyball game they were so loud and obnoxious they kept yelling "boom" in really deep voices that filled the gym whenever the players would spike the ball and then I only knew like three of the girl's names so they'd call out to them and the girls were like who is that saying my name. But anyways they had fun and they kept teasing me about different things. Then Friday I met them at the TV station for their morning Fox News performance and then I met them at KSYM the radio station for more promotion for their concert. After that they were hungry so I took them to Chili's and then to get their nails done? two of them have fake nails so they can play their guitars- only one nail on Brant and Jeff has two- it was funny. But they were soooo great. Then Friday night came and their concert was amazing. I love their new cd and they played they funniest Prince covers ever! When they started playing "little red corvette" seriously my boss just started cracking up. They totally called me out twice once on KSYM and then again at the concert cause I gave them mini bottle of water (cause its what we had) but since they were so small I gave them a case of 24 and they made fun of me all day for it. They also made fun of my light I got them a balloon light, but it was surprisingly bright but they kept making fun of me for that too. They left this morning and texted me good-bye and they called about an hour ago from Baton Rouge. I'm supposed to go see them in November in Austin and I'm excited and then I'm going to have them back at SAC in April. They totally reminded me why I love my job and how fun it is to meet new people and show them around and stuff. I wish we could have had a bigger crowd last night but it was still my favorite concert. Ya I'm really short- whatever.
