oh my oh my, what a weekend.
Whew. I am still wiped out from the Carolinas trip. Worn out and heavy hearted, as I miss LeAnn something awful,as well as the Slaves, and good ol Wednesday.
We set out for Anderson and made record time indeed (because I have a speeding problem), even with Shawna requesting a drive by of campers, a stop for gas, and a 35 minute clusterfuck on 285 in Atlanta (Atl I love you, but DAMN none of you can drive!!haha)..we arrived in Anderson and were greeted by LeAnn before we even turned off the engine :) took a quick tour of LeAnn's FABULOUS apartment, hit Walmart for some last minute items, and hit the road again, Charlotte bound.
Found the venue in Charlotte...it was a little scary lookin' and I'll admit I felt bad for dragging the two fine dates I had all the way Charlotte for what looked to be a teeny tiny shithole...but we found a hotel that was close and affordable..as well as free of hookers,transients, and druggies (thank goodness)...eric texted me to see if we made and asked if we were getting food and if so could he tag along..so we swung by the venue and grabbed him, then took the man to a fine dinner at McDonalds. ;) haha. Dropped him off and headed back to our hotel to get dolled up...and boy did we. I truly believe we out did ourselves ladies!!
We arrived, signed in (yeah, you had to sign in at this bar..I signed in as jailbait, heh heh) and I spotted Del (bassist/singer) and ran over and gave him a good hello/good to see ya whack..he was completely surprised..guess e didn't tell him we were coming! While chatting with Del I got a tap on my arm..and I turned to see my buddy Wednesday sitting at the bar :) It was so good to see W ! Had a purdy new hair cut and color, and wouldn't ya know it..the boy grew some eyebrows. No wonder I didn't recognize him! Found Jay (drummer) and Wentl (roadie extraordinaire) and said hello, then the ladies and I relaxed with some adult beverages while the last band wrapped up. Took some lovely pics with W and his driver, Darcy (hair stylist superstar) then headed up to the stage.
The set was killer. New songs, old songs, Eric singing, Del singing, lots of banter, beer, and dirty dancing. Bought the boys all Jack Daniels shots during 'Thank God for Jack Daniels' ...and pummeled my way through the crowd (all the while recieving dirty looks) to deliver them..haha..sorry folks, but when I'm coming through with a hand ful of Jack Daniels shots for my friends, get the hell outta my way!!!
Went back to the hotel and crashed. Dennys for breakfast the next day, rode back to LeAnns, hit the pool, ordered pizza, did some shopping, hung out with Jamie and Brenton, broke into the pool at midnight, and again CRASHED. Woke up, had lunch at O'Charleys where we gorged ourselves, then me LeAnn's mama and stepdad, who were just lovely folks....as well as the adorable Chong (who we wanted to steal!!) ..went back to LeAnns and loaded up, said our goodbyes...reluctantly because we didn't wanna go :( and hit the bricks. Again: record time..I drive like a ba outta hell, Nascar aint got shit on this girl.
I miss LeAnn too much for words. Girl, I will be back!! We'll hit more Slaves shows.... and Wednesday shows at that!!! I can't wait to see ya at our housewarming, thank you for your hospitality, and for being fucking awesome. Love YOU!!!!!
