hi hi everyone. I'm in the middle of wasting my day away so i thought HEY why don't i blog??? You don't hate it. :)

so lets see what is new...last weekend i worked...same old same old. Monday i had class and then me and alyssa went to the mall and we got some clothes to wear for wed....

tuesday = work and class...gym at night

Ok so wednesday. Most def. the highlight of my week. Me, allison, alyssa and our frosh friend Erin went to the Avalon in NYC to see the drive thru showcase...this was a showcase of The Early November, Hidden in Plain view, HelloGoodbye, Steel Train, Halifax, I can make a mess like nobody's business, Socratic and An angle. It was a great line up. We missed an angle and (unfortuantely) socratic cuz we were def. late getting into the city. Buuut then we got there just in time to see I can make a mess, which is Ace's from TEN side project. It was amazing and oh so sensual. :-p haha

After that was Halifax. I like them, but i wasn't really into watching them so i decided to venture off to the merch tables and buy some stuff. I ended up talking to Steve, who is the merch guy for HelloGoodbye for the whole set. I also bought a HelloGoodbye backpack and this awesome HiBye shirt where M from HiBye drew an original drawing on it where he put, me, him and steve underwater. It is awesome :) But it was a lot of fun talking to steve, he is a good egg! And i also talked w/ PJ who is the merch guy for the early november...he was small and funny, i saw him a few times throughout the night too.

After that Steel train was up but i was having more fun shmoozing my way around so i felt bad that i missed them cuz i really like steel train...but they are gonna be on tour w/ hellogoodye, and socratic so i'm def gonna see them then so it's ok. Anyway so during steel train we went and talked to Miking, the socratic merch guy. Why the hell do i look like i'm obsessed more w/ the merch guys rather than the bands themselves? haha. I'll tell u why. Cuz the merch guy is the backbone of the band. And they actually like talking to you. I like talking to them as well. Go merch men! hahaha

Oh yeah but anyway i did talk to more than just the merch ppl. I had my backpack and all so after i had my merch boys sign it, Forrest from Hibye and duan, kevin and vinny signed it too. It's hard to pick a fave signing. I liked mikings cuz he put a little crown on top of his name haha. But then steve drew himself saying "we are friends!" which was cool too. once again... go merch guys for bringing the originality.

So now after all this it was time for hellogoodbye to come on. I love them so much haha. They start the best dance parties in the world. and forrest has sen-sual legs...look at this. this was like his exact outfit last nite....except a diff shirt...but yeah those shorts are for real:



So then HIPV played....i can't believe how many times i've seen them after only hearing about them last april. like i've seen them 5 times already. thats insane. But they are good. And i'm probably gonna go see them again when they go on tour w/ midtown :-D

Finally, The early november came on....allison and i got sweeeet spots up on the balcony to watch them from above. The performance was AMAZING me and allison were screaming the words and dancing to it all. i looooved it. It was a great way to end the show. :) :)

Afterwards was an afterparty which unfortunately reallllly sucked. A good amount of the bands stayed i guess....but the entertainment was horrible. They had this rap band that was soooo bad...we were in shock. Then they had this llaaaaammmee stripper thing. Like it was this 4 girls who were supposed to be hot...one of them had this huge gut that just made everyone want to throw up. then they would take their bras off but they had like electrical tape over their nipples....the guys in the bands that were left were all yelling and getting pissed and being drunk. it was funny but it was so lame at the same time...we were like why are we still here?

Even tho it was a lame party, it was still cool just standing around talking to some ppl like miking, steve and then kenny from houston calls was there and chilling w/ us cuz he knew erin pretty well.

We ended up getting home rather late and i went to bed at like 5. Therefore today i have been a realllly lazy bum and just sitting here on the comp. I skipped my morning class. I haven't even showered yet and it's 4:30. And i feel so gross especially cuz i had a drunken vinny from socratic hitting on me and spitting in my face. Oh dear. But i am wearing an ultra cool early november shirt that i got and joe signed for me and allison. :-p haha ok that was lame i know but i had to get it in there :-)

ok well i def had a lot of fun last night. I should also mention that having allison and alyssa there was what made it even better. Allison and i started singing frank sinatra and dancing while we walked down sinatra blvd. We are so much fun. 227 for lyfe :) :)

well maybe i'll go take a shower now :) and do my hmwk...leave comments dammit!

mood: lazy but happy :)
music: ???? all the drive thru showcase bands...go listen to them!!!
