Hey all! I took Jadie to the Kelly Clarkson concert last night. It was held at the damn Tweeter Center on the Camden waterfront. We had lawn seats because I was not paying for seats when the lawn is perfectly acceptable. Terra kept saying it was going to rain, but it didn't look like it to me.
We got our spot and I went to go get Jade a drink. That is when the mini-hurricane started. It was pretty frightening. I hurried back up to the girls. I had to wear my sunglasses because the wind was blowing the dirt in my eyes. We just sat on the blanket waiting it out, but the lightning was already starting.
We sat on the edge of the blanket and pulled the other half over our heads. Then the rain started coming in sheets. This was only around 8:00 and the concert was scheduled to start at 7:30 but since we were already on the lawn, we were better off just doing what we did, or we probably would have gotten more wet.
The rain was coming down sideways but it was coming at our backs. We were pretty sheilded. But when it stopped I got up to go to the bathroom and bust my ass on the mud. All down my damn back! There was so much dirt on my ass when I went to the bathroom.
The opening act was Rooney (?) and I don't know them at all. Kelly came on around 9:30ish and she was awesome. She said we were one of her biggest crowds and that there was about 18,000 people there. I can't believe how big she is. She came from AI! She cut her hair. She looked cute. And she sounded amazing.
I'm glad we got to go and see her. The rain was fun and we just made the best of things. We were all dancing around and singing. Jade had a great time, but she was pretty tired by the end. My capris were just saturated. Let's just say I drove home in my undies! Then I took a wrong turn because they were directing traffic and the hot, spanish cop directed me to the Ben Franklin Bridge!I had to drive to Philly to turn around and get back home again! But we made it and i am super-tired today.
Well, since we all know what a big dummy I am, I will give you another example. I didn't know Gnarls Barkley was a fake name and Cee-lo was the one singing that song. Dumb, dumb, dumb I tell ya. Not that I ever like Goodie Mob or anything cause they ain't my cup of tea, but come on!
Since I've been corresponding with my friend in Trenton in a rehabilitation center (I guess he's rehabbing his personality - he's in for assault) I've been ignoring Chuckie. And he is not happy about it. Well the prat had me crying on the phone last Thursday night. The girls (and Jesse) are coming over tonight for a dinner cooked by me and I will be drinking so I hope I don't have another repeat of the crying.
Talk to all you lovelies soon, I hope!
