I love it when a series of events all come together to make something spectacular possible...no, this isn't like I am suddenly able to feed all of Somalia or something (though if I stopped over eating and sent that food there I could possible save a few hundred lives :\) - I was supposed to go to Washington this weekend but due to Michelle's work sucking wang her schedule didn't permit so it got rescheduled til Oct 8 - no sweat...I sold my extra Matthew Good tickets this week so I have 100 bucks cash tucked away for a rainy...
So while I am sitting here on a shit Saturday with no motivation, feeling gynormous & miserable with no motivation to do eff all until I meet up with the lesbos downtown for a Vietnamese dinner and a movie ~ I stumble across Liam Finn concert dates on Facebook (which I wouldn't have if I was in Washington this weekend!)....I am scanning them in hopes of a Victoria show...I see a Seattle show and sadly it doesn't work for when I am already in Washington but as I scan I see VANCOUVER...not Victoria but wHATEver...I instantly start to shit in my diaper a little b/c I have a lot of plans coming up and not really the funds for it w/o going into Visa Torture Land which I do not generally enjoy...so I am scrambling to find a hotel near the little cabaret venue and find one in the same bldg...rooms are 70 bucks with a gov't discount...SWEET...all set up...I am totally thinking I will just walk on the boat Saturday morning...wander to that part of town...check in when I am able...and enjoy Vancouver until 8 o'clock...the sweetest part is...IT'S AN EARLY SHOW...830-1100 - its like the baby fucking jesus of nazareth really did plan this all for Jen! This old granny loves early shows!!!
With the plan made I relax a little...I decide to call my buddy Laura in Vancouver and see if she wants to come...I hardly ever get to see her so I thought it might be a fun hang out for us til I see her in December...she was on board and invited me to stay at her place...so that was cool...saved me some $ though I really do love staying in hotels... dunno why...I sleep shitty in them...there was no pool...but I love the novelty of it...likely b/c I don't often get to do it...if I had to all the time I am sure it would lose its fun. This also means less debt involved so...awesome.
Do you get how big this is? Do you? Think of all the bands there are in the world....think of that number....then think of trying to make a top 5...so imagine stumbling upon someone who you never knew existed less than a month ago and he is within 2 days bumping someone out of your top 5, making a place for himself. This is unheard of people! I was fairly convinced for years that my top 5 would remain my top 5 til I died b/c rarely does newly discovered music breach the walls of my top 5 and displace its members. This is EPIC...for me anyhow. Clearly none of u are affected by this earth shattering occurrence. I will not hold it against you.
FML I am so excited I cannot contain myself. I have no one to tell...I have no one who would get this b/c the only person who would get it (my brother) isn't around anymore to share this with...dammit...even my music loving friends are a little more 'mature' about this sort of stuff...
Oh well...lucky for me I am ok with my loner status.
