Last night was amazing. I dont have words for it.. Seeing my favorite band play (they havent played in 7 years).. being around a bunch of people from my past.. in a bar that I love.. It was amazing. It started off a bit slow.. I got there early and hung out in the lower bar. That doesnt make sense.. Ok so there is three rooms.. the top bar, the venue hall, then the lower bar. I love the lower bar.. its the oldest part of the building and its considered to be the "punk" bar. I was just hanging out.. randomly seeing people I know. First band went on, they were really good. But I knew I was mostly just there for the last band.
Side note.. I got 3 extra tickets b/c I was supposed to have 3 of my friends join me. Well the day before the show 2 cancelled.. and then an hour before the show the third cancelled. So I ended up giving the tickets to some of my newish friends that planned on going. One was for a girl I apparently went to high school with.. that was a bit odd.
So my other friends showed up and we had some drinks.. second band came on.. We watched them from the upper bar area.
Then it was time.. I got a spot right in front of the stage.. shoulder to shoulder with everyone else waiting. Everything from that point forward seemed like a crazy, exausting blur. I danced.. I sang.. I had one of the best nights in a long time. It was like reading a great book.. by the end i was happy to experience it, but sad it was over. So here I am.. getting ready to go to dinner with my family.. counting the bruises and bumps all over my body.. lol. Have two small cuts.. Got hit in the ear and it knocked out my earring, thought I had lost it. Somehow it ended up in my pocket.
Well I am going to see if I can post this video.. maybe a picture..
Here I was trying to record.. the kid on the right is actually the guitarists (all the way on the right) son. And then.. I got pulled into the pit. Such a great night!
And me.. after the show was said and done.. I am pretty gnarly here.. lol But I felt so alive.
