Well, Guided by Voices show #1 and night #1 of me staying up really late didn't really work.
For starters, I should have taken a nap as soon as I got home from work. I didn't. At the show, I attempted alertness by having a Coke, knowing my body's incredibly high intolerance to caffeine. It didn't work. I ended up leaving about 12:30 and going to bed by 1:00. Two hours later, the guys came home, drunk and not overly quiet, thus waking me up. At this point, the caffeine decided it was the perfect time to kick in, so after growling at them to shut the fuck up, I proceeded back to bed and began shaking like a leaf. Eyes wide open, I sat staring for another hour or so. I think around 5:00 I finally got to sleep. Then the alarm went off at 7:00.
This day is going to suck so much when the caffeine completely leaves my system. And no, I'm not going to drink more of it to stay awake. I don't want to get dependent on the stuff.
I don't think I'm going to make it to tonight's show. Even though the Thermals are opening and I love them, I think I'm just going to be too damn tired.
Time for work now.

They really need to make "I got my ass kicked at a gbv show" t-shirts.

It sounds like your Tuesday was just like my Wednesday! I didn't get to bed until 2:30 I was so charged up by the show I couldn't sleep. I wish I hadn't missed Monday. The second show was amazing! I'm sure glad EnergyChannel was there.
