last year when we went to the liffey for the button party and nick and steve showed up, not knowing we were there. they were bar hopping for his birthday I think.
Seeing a friend of mine, finally get his band (that he's been talking about since highschool) off the ground, with their first ever legit show last night...
getting back from vegas! I have a slight cold, but all the fun was well worth it.
CM - Slayer is playing at the house of blues Jan 25th in vegas. it's a tiny venue. We saw most of the Soul Asylum show last night, right before we hopped the cab to the airport.
Cool that you saw Soul Asylum too. Unfortunately, I couldn't make their show at First Ave last Friday. I let those VIP tix go to waste. :frown: :frown:
nothing but a daughter woulda kept me away from a night out like that ....turns out I was at the ER with my 10 year old that night :frown: ---
she sprained an ankle at school the Friday before - ankle was braced and she was on crutches.... she fell down the stairs a week later (the Friday of the concert) and sprained her other ankle- bruised up her back and got the wind knocked out of her!
I was on the list and didn't have actual tickets to give away. I talked with the promoter and she said I could leave her a message with a name of who would go in my place. But before I could post it on here I received another message that I only had until noon to contact her since she was leaving early that Friday. I couldn't see going to a show when I had so much to do before we had Christmas at our house the next day for her entire side. :frown:
Sweet. I haven't been in a play in years. On occasion I introduce bands and do the MC thing between sets for shows here, but I haven't had to play anyone but me in years.
Its a rush that I miss from a few years back.... I did a crap load of them in highschool, and 4 of them afterwards... and not much since...
I loved it, and I miss it... I want to get back into it, because its something thats "me"....
Its hard to explain....
We went and saw Grease, at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, a couple of months ago...
I think thats where this re-surfacing of stuff started happening for me....
holy crap... the smell, the feel of being near the stage, and wanting to be up there.... the feeling of being scared, but pulling off a magical, awesome show...
No, I get it. I had a full ride scholarship to study Theatre Arts at Ashland when I got out of High school. But my mom got sick at the time (first bought with Breast cancer) and I stayed home. Always wondered what would have happened. Although I think I would have taken to set design, that was my true love.
Isn't it great to be good at something and have a chance with it? that's how I feel about my drinking cult.
Nick, hope the audition goes well...I'm a theater arts major from the U of M, so I know exactly what you mean about the thrills and fears and glory of a production getting done well... :sillygrin:
enjoy - kinda blowing of my resolution to be 'on the wagon' until I come home
My boss took me out for a lovely lunch today, and we had a bottle of Viognier. oops. but I did skip dessert - so that must account for something... right?
being able to make fun of him for becoming older (even if its only for a few months, before I turn the same age)
both of us becoming extremely f'ed up, during the course of our outing....
It was a good night.
exactly a year ago, we spent the evening, running into a few kick-ass people by surprise at The Liffey...
which reminds me...
I need to get a button.

one of the bars that we hit tonight, had chilli dogs for 50 cents, and tap beers for $1.50.
tasted like crap, but it was a damn good deal.
I DON'T RECALL IT AT ALL
NOW I RECALL...
"The Rock & Roll Whores" are alive and kickin'!

Theres a House of Blues in Chicago, thats a pretty cool spot.
Cool that you saw Soul Asylum too. Unfortunately, I couldn't make their show at First Ave last Friday. I let those VIP tix go to waste. :frown: :frown:
they were good. it's a really small venue. Joe Roegan the comedian was there tonight - that's who I really wanted to see.
The way I usually deal with the place, is if I know somebody who works there, I'm automatically a VIP. :cool:
how in the world could you possibly NOT go?
