Okay, IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE SHOW so I'm scared I'll have forgotten shit, but if you want a really detailed version of events, check out Chesh's THIRD and FOURTH entries, because she's got shit COVERED. ILU CHESH I'M SO GLAD WE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE 2GETHER.

Congratulations on getting a picture with Wire where his eyes are open, Ashe!

I'm not sure James leaned so much as was pulled back by the sudden weight on his spine.

I want "I will enjoy this on the bus" to be everyone's go-to phrase for shit you'll do later. It makes more sense in the context of letters than sock monkeys, at least.

[rocknrollpsycho]

LMFAO. I will enjoy this on the bus! God, there was some other phrase I want people to make use of and I can't recall it now. But yeah, you can enjoy a letter on the bus in a normal fashion (and, indeed, my letter is not the kind of thing I wanted him to open up and enjoy THEN because I would've died), BUT DAMN, surely you can appreciate a sock-monkey at the moment!

LOL w/e he did IDC. I don't know why that seemed like the best option, but I just knew he would not turn around again and he totally didn't fucking react to me so whatever!! I LOVE YOU JAMES.

OTHER PEOPLE GOT PIX WITH HIS EYES OPEN. I should've gotten one when he was talking to me but I didn't want to bother him. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SWEET AS PIE.

Janelle, it's totally not your fault at all--if anything, it's Chesh's and mine for staying so long at rest stops eating gyros and looking for invisible cough drops

Aw. ♥ It didn't matter in the end, we still got up front. Everybody quick-changing in the parking lot was kind of amazing.

JAMES, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHATTER MY HEART??!?!!

Yeah, they'll do that.

Alyssa and Janelle hung out with some people they liked while we were gone

LOL. Meaning Alyssa's mom, who heard the ENTIRE STORY all over again, the guy who sold us egg rolls at her favorite Chinese place, and additional soup. Because soup bowls count very much as "people we like." I'm glad you got there and back safely ♥

methodically take out napkins to lightly blot himself with

LOL MCDONALD'S GUY. "Okay, I got three giant clumps, so I should only need... exactly three more napkins. Perfect!"

I woke up this morning to find "renting an rv" in my browser's Google search, from when Alyssa couldn't sleep. Start packing now, plz.

[rocknrollpsycho]

I miss you guys! AND CATTYFEETS. When Matt called me last night, he passed an RV ...store? I think, so we talked about just buying one because we didn't know how to explain a glitter-covered RV to a rental company. I love that boy.

I didn't know you were back at home! I got it in your head you'd visited people. I don't know why. Maybe I misheard a phone conversation. Sry!

[newgeneration]

We were going to visit Katie (Alyssa's friend who went to a wedding) but by that time she would have been well into the reception, and we didn't want to crash somebody else's reception. It worked out, anyway, because we went to Wing Hing (where we demand to take you, Chesh and whoever else is in our entourage next time we're in the area) and then Alyssa's mom got to hear all the epic stories of wedding sex and Sean assault.

[silvertiger]

lol @ this entire entry holy shit, haha. I so wish I could have been there, the Manics (and your friends!) seem like totally awesome people.

[rocknrollpsycho]

I WISH YOU COULD'VE BEEN THERE, TOO. IT WAS SO AWESOME. THEY ARE AMAZING PEOPLE, EVERYONE, EVEN SEAN STRAIGHT-UP ANTHONY DICKBAG MOORE. <3 next time, Veer!
