(no subject)
!!!!!!!!!!!
School....hmmm....
Picked up my tux....it's not so bad thanks to Anthony's and Ashlee's optimism (I believe).
And goddamn what an adventure!!!!
So Steve picks me up, and we pick Jonathan and John up to go to a "show" in Griffith Park. I was thinking it was an outdoor thing with a buttload of people or the Greek Theatre.
So we get to Griffith Park (which is about a bajillion miles wide) and start exploring arbitrarily. It's a bigass park and we had no idea where to start. So for about an hour and a half, we drive around the Greek Theatre, up in the hills and the mountains, through a residential area....yeah we did that for about an hour and a half and we almost gave up...we found no stadium, ampitheatre, or open space. I must've called 4 people to ask'em for directions.
And yeah on the way home...we saw about 15 people around two picnic benches-playing a guitar or two and a pair of bongos. We were whispering, "Is that it?" "Is that it?" "Is that the show?" "Nah it's a church get-together dude."
So the guy playing guitar says jokingly, "Join the cult, brother!"
And I told him we know "Edge" Cherene. He points to her at the picnic table.
The whole damn time we saw absolutely no crowds, and all the ampitheatres/spaces were empty...we thought we had been fooled. Turns out the show was at two picnic tables.
Wasn't even a show....more like a get together (in a good way). We played pieces of "Just What I Needed", "My Best Friend's Girl", "Stairway" (yes), "Like a Rolling Stone", and I fucked up big time because I sang the word "Roooooxane" as if I was going to play it but I have no effing idea how to play that song. Everyone cheered but when I said I didn't know how to play it, my face and the cheers fell.
It would have sounded way better if the guys had joined me, but I understand that it was on the spot and unrehearsed so yeah....but still the whole thing was fun! That's my kind of environment, all open and casual. And we met Edge Cherene which is totally awesome b/c we've been listening to her stuff and talking to her occassionally and I honestly thought I was never going to meet her but we finally did! And she sang Sitting On the Dock of the Bay and some other good tunes. Good voice, good voice.
So we invited her to jam with us and who knows, maybe this will be the big break we've been looking for.
So yeah prom is tommmorrow.....busy ass weekend, like I said.
I haven't forgotten my unsalvaged best friends though...still missing a big part of me that I hopefully gain again soon.
