jesus, best night of my life, hands down.
skipped spanish, drove 4ish hours, got lost in north jersey. i don't understand how people can stand living there. getting around is a bitch. the signs are never right and roads are just there. i don't get it. the state pride there baffles me. i'd want to move before someone with enough power fimrly decides that the state is trash enough to bomb or i'll go by my plan and slowly chisel it away into the atlantic. philly will be an ocean paradise.
anyway, met up with joe, rode the train to nyc, i'd say hauled ass to our seats once inside madison square garden. we came in when he was playing new york state of mind. amazing. we were behind him, but there were screens and his fucking piano was on a turn table. other highlights: allentown, an innocent man, goodnight saigon, movin' out, river of dreams, you may be right, big shot, uptown girl, only the good die young, don't ask me why, we didn't start the fire, she's always a woman and the highlights of his encore: scenes from an italian restaurant and piano man.
simply amazing.
no other words for it.
i woke up this morning and my throat ripped. i was singing and screaming like it was going out of style. wow. i still can't get over how amazing it was.
afterwards, joe and i went to s'barro's for edibles, ended up hanging out downstairs and talking for a solid 3 hours. we got kicked out of the downstairs after we had already seen them throwing boxes of cheese down the stairs to the storage room. a few of the boxes kind of...exploded on impact of falling down stairs and it made a cute little mess. mental note: never eat at the s'barro's closest to msg again. haha
then we got kicked out of the upstairs dining room at 2 since they were closing. walked back to the train, saw some underage trash (they got off at a north jersey stop. suprised? didn't think so.), went back to my car, which was miraculously still there with all 4 tires and hubcaps. said bye to joe, (2:30) made it into pa at 4am, got home at 7:10am. nooooooooooo sleep. (til brooklyn) totally worth it. then josh sayers called me at 7:15am, just after i had gotten into the apartment, drunk. of course. i was on the phone with him until my 8am class. which sucked my ass. i don't know why i keep going. i should drop it and take a different one.
(hahaha the fight club song. hehe i miss within distance...)
anyway, last night was straight up, awesomeness. and it needs to happen again soon. i'm going to check out the philly dates and see if i can swing any of those and go again. and joe and i are going to go ice skating. because we're cool. haha
i suppose i shall leave with billy's parting words because brad wants me to drink:
"don't let anyone give you shit."
