So since I've posted some pictures, now I can write a bit about the actual weekend.
The Divorce rocked the party, rocked the partay. I wrote about that already though. Saturday morning I got up after 3 hours of sleep and went to work all day. After work I went home and picked up Cutter and we went back out to near my work in Birch Bay for a staff party my office threw. Awesome food, free drinks, it was great. We had a few glasses of some really fantastic Merlot as well, which was incredible since we can only afford cheaper, though pretty good, wines.
After the party, we went to The Nightlight to see Idiot Pilot. We got a few t-shirts that are so awesome! Mine is pink (I know, what happened to my tom boy youth?) and has piano keys on it and has one of my favorite lines from a song of theirs on the bottom- "wolves never really attack people." (You've just got to hear the song.) Cutter got a black one with an ink blot type logo on it that was the first Idiot Pilot t-shirt. Free buttons and stickers too!
We were early, so we played pool badly for a bit, met up with a friend, and then had a few drinks. We watched the opening act (whose name I can't remember, I wasn't that impressed obviously) and chilled out. Open Hand was next whom I've never heard of before but really enjoyed. Then Idiot Pilot! They are on a crazy tour right now so they looked exhausted but the show was the best of their I've ever seen. The sound quality at The Nightlight was incredible! The 3B wasn't bad, though some of their speakers weren't working, but The Nightlight was nearly arena quality sound but in a small bar so it didn't echo a lot. Man they were great. They finished up and walked off stage but people shouted for an encore for so long they came back out and played one more song, "To Buy a Gun" (one of my favorites). They started talking about bands that walk off when they realy have a song or two more to play just so they can get the encore call and come back out. Then said that 'Wolves' really was their last song so they had to get some stuff ready to play another.
Got about 5 hours of sleep last night, and I know I'll crash soon. But this weekend was amazing. And The Presidents of the USA are playing in Bellingham on June 10th! Rock on! This summer is so exciting! And we have tickets to go see the third Star Wars movie when it comes out, we're seeing the midnight premier because I've never been to one.
I'm surprised how happy I am, honestly. I haven't felt this good in so long. And I know it wouldn't be nearly as fun if it weren't for Cutter being there. |
