Stuff...
Wall O' Text Post because I'm too lazy to add the pretty.
So, real excited about the concerts coming up for 2 of my favorite 3 musical artists! This month I'm going to see Adam Lambert 3 times on 3 consecutive nights, twice in San Fran and once in Sacramento. I'm going to meet up with some new friends from an Adam message board I post on, go to a pre-party (with real live drag queens!) before the show on the 23rd, hang out and stalk look for the band on the 24th in Sacto, and go with my gf's feels_like_fire, _somniac_, and leighrowena and try to convert them to the awesomeness that is Adam Lambert so I have more people to geek with to the show on the 25th.
AND even more exciting is the upcoming concert from the love of my musical life forever, GREEN DAY. The closing show of the tour is Sept 4th and as I also went to the opening show of the tour in Seattle over a year ago, I'm chuffed to be doing the "bookend." In addition to the awesome peeps above, we will be joined by indie_wonka, and sick_of_me03 from the land of LA, and YAYAYYAYAYYAYAY SO EXCITED....mikeyface is coming all the way from FLORIDA to come to the show with us!!! I haven't seen AngieBaby in forever, so I am flailing with excitement over the awesome time to be had! Also in attendance will be loser_and_user but she'll be seated while the rest of us are in the low rent (non)seats on the lawn at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA.
In RL stuff, in between work just owning my ass hardcore, I've started volunteering for an organization called RockMed, which is a branch of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco. We provide first aid services at concerts and events in the Bay Area. It's a really cool bunch of people and it's a lot of fun. If it's not busy, it's a neat way to hear some music by artists who you wouldn't mind catching a few songs by, but don't feel like shelling out $50 to see. (If it's busy, you may not catch any of the show, which is why I have tickets to Adam and Green Day!) One cool bene for me is that if they need someone back stage for anything, I get to go because I'm "the doctor," and usually the only one. I got to meet Muse's bass player and Rhianna's guitar player (remember this song by Extreme?) that way. (I told them if they need someone to go backstage at Adam's or Green Day's shows that they'd better text me from the damn audience!)
So damn tired...but looking forward to a visit from the Dad later this week in between getting my hair cut and getting my car tuned and all that usual life scut. Rock on, everybody!
OK, SO I LIED ABOUT THE PRETTY.
You gotta love an RPS fandom where this shit is canon.
