(no subject)
Okay, I would like for everyone to know that I am alive after my three-day party binge. It culminated last after Katy, Sharon and I sang karaoke and I did The Reason, and Sharon and Katy did other such wonderful songs as Alicia Keys, High Enough by the Damn Yankees, and so much more. Katy left early because she felt sick so Sharon and I ate and came home. We were about to go to bed when we realized Katy's phone was ringing and we answered it since it was ringing over and over and had a New York number on the ID, and we let her up with our new friend Raul from The Basicks. He works at Guitar Center and plays the drums. We (Katy and I) went back to his apartment (this was at 3:30 am) because Sharon and Rae went to sleep and met his friends, and watched Red Dragon and fell asleep. We kept joking about how this would be the moment where he was going to rape and kill us, but he seriously just went and got us water and blankets and had an argument with his friend about using his inhaler when you'd think it would all be about drugs. The friend was like "I'll get you more man" So no New York death even though we were very inviting.
Anyway, I saw incubus on Friday at the Madison Square Garden. Let me tell you a few things: all the shit you hear about them losing their touch is very inaccurate. It was the best concert I have ever been to with the enormous stage and lights and special effects. There was a drum solo that Ben Kenney and Brandon joined in with a new set and bongos. I can't even describe how good it was. They played a remix of Drive and I was really into it. They didn't play Stellar, which was weird to me, but Jesus they can put on a show. Brandon was playing a lot of guitar and Mike hit the piano.
Oh yeah and we did meet them. The people running the m&g were shoving us around and basically wouldn't let us do anything but have them sign a card. The guys really made it worth it though even though the staff was rude. I figured they would just snub us, especially after them getting all this information about them taking themselves too seriously. This will sound weird coming from me, but while I was waiting to talk to Brandon, this guy was in front of me talking, and I turned to look at him and he was giving me a once over and I think it was because we had the same hair only mine is brushed (oh yeah I forgot to mention that I cut my hair) and he was like "you're cool so I'm signing your name in purple and it will stand out and he did the same for Sharon. He asked me how to spell my name and he went through "raechael" and "rachaele" before I told him it was "rachel." and then he screwed up his name and said he was getting too old for it and I scoffed at him and then I was sort of rushed over to Jose, and we bonded over our special illness and I told him that I had to leave for Starbucks at 9 am and felt like shit until I came home and napped and he was like, "K you win" and Sharon asked if he'd date her and he said yes, and in the group picture we took he was hugging all over her and I stood next to Mike. Anyway, I moved on to Kilmore and I don't know what all I said to him because I was kind of nervous, but I moved on to Kenny.
Okay. He's not Dirk, but I accepted him because he did a good job, but I still really wanted Dirk to be there. Kenney had drawn a gun with bullets, a bottle of poison, and other crazy objects and I asked him if he felt happy, and he was like "They said to make ourselves feel at home" and I was like well "I don't want to go to your home then" and he was like "I don't think I do either." Then I talked to Mike and since I froze up on every other subject we talked about Dan Estrin and then we had to leave and I got to watch Sparta. We didn't even get let in before anyone else so we totally had to push through the floor to get to the front.
Anyway someone is complaining to me and I am in a good mood so I'm off.
