(no subject)
so i dedcide for sure that i am going to make the trip(s) to chicago and des moines to see blue play. scott takes petrie (yes, he is named after the character on the land before time). friday i get a late start b/c my frickin' cat keeps me up too late and wakes me up too early. finally made it to chicago and go the venue. hang out on the bus and eat dinner with scott, chad and chad's sister. hang out on the bus some more. piper is getting drunk. rad! it's showtime. they play and awesome show and i buy scott is first bday shot at midnight. good stuff. after the show we all hang out. drink more and have fun. piper, me, justin, ryan, scott, etc stay up and get wasted. i get to hear some things justin has been writing... beautiful. *sigh* i wish i could go to the 8/2 5591 show..... anyway, we all stay up and get wasted, they have bus call at 7am and it is going on 6:30... scott walks me up to the hotel room. i stay and sleep.
i wake up with a little bit of a hangover, shower and get ready. start my trek to des moines. i finally make it. through fields, fields and more fields. i kinda liked pomeroy who was on first that day.... they were fun and peppy. something i could clean my house to. hung out a little and didnt really watch the second band. hung out with my blue friends but decided that upfrontcenter wasn't where i wanted to be. a little after blue came on i called scott and asked him to walk me to the balcony.
this was my first blue show where i haven't been upfrontcenter. it was an awesome experience. seeing the show from above. seeing the crowd. i sat by myself and loved every minute of it. i actually got emotional during amazing/weight of the world/18th floor balcony... i mean those songs always touch me (esp weight of the world) but this time i had tears running down my cheeks. it was intense and awesome at the same time. beautiful. i love how justin's words can conjour up so much emotion and feeling. the place was at a stand still when those songs were sung. you coulda heard a pin drop. it was lovely and theraputic.
after the show we al; kinda hung around like we do. i gave scott his bday spankins. ryan and i decide to go find some food and that we'd meet scott, cb, justin, and others at the bar. by the time we got back with our food scott was wasted. he had already had like 8 shots of redbull and jager and probably had three more while we were there. we all head back to the bus. scott is beyond drunk. like passing out and apologizing to me. "seriously," i told him, "there is no need to apologize.. it's your birthday.. do it up." he ended up getting sick. i ended up hanging out and finally going to sleep in the back of the bus.
tour busses rule, man. they let NO light in and it rocks!
