fun in LA
good morning from the torrance marriot. room 1407. that would be on the concierge level, by the way. hehehe. bloodshedbaby is my god.
sitting here checking mail and stuf before contemplating sleep or gossip.
james and i drove to LA this afternoon. very exciting. we had a rented buick le sabre. nice ride. very smooth. finally got to the hotel and eventualy met up with bloodshedbaby and blueirish. after a quick changing session we all piled into stacy's car and headed out to "beverly hills". traffic was quite annoying. but we survived. figured we'd be fashionably late. hehehe. anyways so after we find parking, we stumbled to the house of the infamous Kerry Common Rotation Living Room show. the first thing we saw was CSI dude. if you don't know who that is... it's the morgue assistant. whatever his name is. hehehe. then as we passed into the backyard, we ran into Danny Strong (one of the hosts) who grabbed me for a hug and a "hi! how are you?" which was followed by introductions all around and thank yous for coming. (later on, he and i were talking and i said something about him needed to come up {not that i think he would... but mom adores him, as do i, and i'm sure she'd get a kick out it} and he was like "i can't go to fresno. last time i was there the car i was in rolled 4 times!" and amidst all my worry for his well-bearing, i couldn't help think that he really does remember me! *fangirl giggle* i never believe when they tell me he does.) then it was off for drinks all around. the yard was pretty cramped so you got to know the other people well. haha. no, seriously, irish ran into people she knew, turns out i knew one them from way back, and introductions occurred again. new friends, eleni and katie, showed up. i knew eleni from the Automatic Hotel messagebaord. we were supposed to meet at the last CR show but we failed, only to find out we did meet because we got danny's beer taken away! anyways... they showed up. then there was a lot of mingling and us all trying to scope out any celebs. lol. um, tom lenk was there, duh. and some other people we thought looked like people, but we don't know. so then this woman, jennifer, came out and talked for a while about kerry and the grassroots campaign in california. it was actually pretty interesting. and she did a q&a too.
moving on... as i am suuuuuure you are want the good stuff now. :P
after the q&a, we all scampered into the livingroom. i took a spot of the floor with stacy, eleni, and katie. irish hung a few feet away with her friend deb. and james took a throne in the corner. haha. he ended up in like half of stacy's pictures because of her angle. so we've titled her pics "james and common rotation" or "common rotation & james". the guys rocked! adam, eric, ken, and jordan. but mostly adam & eric. i don't have a setlist, sorry. i don't remember the songs. um... but it was good. it was humourous to watch james watch the audence. :) at one point there were cops. i guess danny and some other guy ran out to deal with them. and yes they did ticket vehicles. (ours included. we figured it though and didn't care because of how close that spot was. lol)
um... i'm getting tired and don't really remember too much more.
after the show though, i had been requested by eleni and katie to take pics of them with people. so off we went. we were joined by stacy. james was off having more alcohol. and kat was chatted with her people. we found danny. got him. this is where that covo about the car rolling came in. such a sweety! met a friend of his. the girls wanted tom so we went looking but we'd just missed him. i found adam and got my hugs. got pics for the girls. so cute. caught ken for pics. then eric. even got jordan! then we realized stacy didn't have the the studio albums and eric had some. he gave her the big fear but we also wanted the other one, so she paid for both. but he was gonna give her the one for free, she paid anyways. it was funny cuz he looked so confused trying to make change. lol. then i got a report from kat that james was drunk. and checking out her friends ass and getting adam in on it. so i went to find my pervy older brother. he gave me a look and said he'd introduced himself to adam as my brother when he taken him to check out the ass. so i had to find adam and see what was said. adam said he'd thought the guy was drunk and wasn't paying attention to him. thank god. lol. so i went back and told james that he had been declared drunk and not worth remembering. :P then he dissappeared. when he came back he said we had a ticket on the car and that he'd almost run into adam but had missed him. we left a little bit after
this. haha. said my goodnights as we passed by danny, adam, and ken.
i drove. we wanted food. so we drove round for a bit. and ended up at norm's back here in torrance. had some food. felt much better. filled my belly. and then we came back to the hotel and went our seperate ways. james has a conference here fo the next 3 days. we're outta here in the morning. have to run irish back up to santa barbara and then head back to our valley.
so tired. but it's all good. it was wicked fun. specialthanks to bloodshedbaby for providing this escape. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO! you rock my world, babe!
