What an eventful week. I went dancing...yes...DANCING on Saturday. Here is a picture of me drunk. Then when I tried to get home I was stuck down here. It took me five hours to get home. I needed to get my brother and my Howie tickets. I went the back way to Hollywood, which took three hours. I was exhausted I got a hotel room on Sunset so that I could rest after being up and driving for two days.
Once I got to The Roxy for the show I was informed that it was post poned...Howie could not get there because of the fire. I was going to have to wait until Tuesday. I decided to make the most of it, since I was basically in Hollywood on a forced three day trip. Jose came out to spend the days with me. We did the whole Hollywood BLVD thing. Unfortunately Jose got a flat tire :( I followed him home on some fix a flat to make sure he was going to be ok.
On Monday Howie was playing at the Virgin megastore on Sunset so I went back and got Jose so he could go to that show with us. I am so glad I got so see Howie at Virgin. It was just him, no band, thank god. I was right in front of him. Got some really good pictures, and thanks to Jose some priceless Howie memorabilia (picks, water bottles, signed picture of an assortment of fine meats and cheeses). My little brother got his guitar signed. I was sooooo happy :) It was a perfect day. I ate at a really cool Jewish restaurant. My favorite part was how much Jose enjoyed his hummus. I love it when he is happy. He showed me around Melrose. I have never been before. Monday night I stayed at my sisters because the pass was closed and I did not want to risk not getting back in time for the show on Tuesday.
Tuesday was really fun. I went and saw Carl and Jose. We went to some really cool music and video stores. I got some cool...tapes.... and hopefully I win the Rob Zombie stuff I entered for. Then we went to Hollywood for some more Melrose shopping. My new piercings got infected from all the ash in the air. They are feeling much better now that I have circular bar bells in them though. Helps with the swelling.
Now for the bad part. When I was going to go back home today (Wednesday) I got phone calls from my desert people...evacuation in effect. I had Ryan go to the house and get the important stuff out. My mom is there clearing the brush around the house and watering it. I wish she would not worry and just go, the smoke is awful. I hate being this far from my house and not being able to help. I hope I don't loose my house :( I am sure it will be fine. Jose is going to take me out later so that I can get my mind off it and hopefully I will get into a better mood.
