I started out by trying desperately to find someone to join me at Eisley last night. While I was frantically calling any schmuck I know in denver whose number I have and I can remotely stand I was also driving around town trying to get my friend's boyfriend's car...apparently captain gray matter idn't realize that you'd probably need a driver's license number to write a check over 300 bucks (at Walgreen's it's over twenty!) And he was out of range with his cell phone so...
Anyway we finally get her his car and I'm off like a herd of turtles...I get barely past Loveland (Which for those of you unfamiliar with my home is roughtly about 15 minutes of drive time.)
warning, rant coming on
SO I make it to the Gothic, with time to spare really so my fear was unfounded...I sold the extra ticket for twenty bucks (The guy was kind enough to understand that that was still a bargain considering the fees made it 24 bucks) And I get in...blahblahblah...THE SHOW STARTS!...and I'm standing next to the ONLY girl in the entire crowd singing every song at the top of her voice...which actually didn't bother me that much because a) I'm thrilled to meet someone as enthusiastic as me and b) so was I. What I didn't like was the two guys and the girl arguing about...fuck knows what really...for the entire fucking show...I did catch a snippet of it and it seemed to be about which girl in Eisley is sexier...Now anyone with more than a passing knowledge knows this is a trick quesiton and the answer is "All of them" but they had a good old time yelling it out over "Marvy Tings" (Okay, that's just what the band calls it...it's really Marvelous Things...and it's my favorite song...but I swear those reports of mutilated bodies in the Post this morning have nothing to do with ME <Innocent look>
no...really <innocent> I don't know nothin' 'bout no corpses.
Anyway...
Second to last song the girls say the second awesomest thing they could possibly say...they are going to be signing at the concession's counter...Now...I've seen eisley 5 times now and they've never done this...not even wehn they played a teaser set in England with Taking Back Sunday...This is big...and it was...ever die hard Eisley fan turns up and it takes me forever to get to the counter...I've got something up my sleeve...incorrigible shyness...I blurt out three questions rapid fire that Chantal BARELY has tie to answer before I've bolted for the balcony...WTF? these aren't space aliens or freakin rockstars playing to sold out stadiums...oh but they are cute girls and that does make a difference I suppose...anyway. I muster up the courage to go back and ask Sherri, the singer who also does all the t-shirt designs, if she will draw a doodle for me...AND SHE DID! yay! I was so excited that I totally FUBARed it again by blurting out thanks and nearly walking into a pole 
anyway, pictures...no...because I'm a moron and totally forgot my fucking camera (I graduate with a degree in photography and forget my camera!) but I can take a picture of the doodle!
Damn I'm a total Idiot...I forgot to upload the picture.
okay, but that's not all. So I drive back up to fort collins...it's an uneventful trip. I decide to kick it on the internets and chat for a while with my friend Shteffi...my roommate gets home from the bar and I come up stairs to see her carrying her friend in from the cab! My roommate works at a nursing home so really she's got things under control...sort of...I mean...this girl is freakin' drunk...I end up having to helpo my roommate get her into my roommate's bed because she is passed out (there's actually more to this story but for the sake of all of our dignity it will remain just a parenthetical statement) and I'm telling Tanya all about the show and how awesome it was and how awesome Eisley is and stuff...I dunno, this is getting tedious...I think I'm going to wrap it up.
Anyway, I aslo had a dream about balloons popping in slow motion last night...that was pretty sweet too.
