Happy birthday Stephanie Lynn!

Sorry I almost forgot!

There will be a live CD of Bette's Vegas show?? Oh my stars! And Designing Women is FINALLY coming out on DVD. There might be a God after all.

new iPod

Fuck you Apple and your inability to transfer music from an old iPod to a new iPod.

iPod

The time has finally come: I have too much stuff to store on my iPod. So, I have a white 30 GB video iPod that I am asking $100 for. If that sounds too steep to you, make an offer. I need to upgrade, so any money I make will be helpful. Any takers?

Attention boys and girls!

I have decided to go see Fleetwood Mac again!

They've extended their tour and are going to be in Nashville on June 19th. Since I'm not going to be able to afford to see Bette this year, I decided I totally have to go see FM again. My seats are much closer this time (something I am paying a pretty penny for) and I'm really excited about going again. I can't get their songs out of my head!!

I'm also going to see Blondie and Pat Benatar in Cincinnati in August. This will be both mine and my sister's third time seeing Blondie. The concert is the day after my birthday and the day before our King's Island trip at work, so it looks to be a pretty great weekend. Other good news includes rumors that Bette may be extending her Vegas contract, which gives me more time to go see her! Yay!

My jaw's all fucked up, and while it doesn't hurt, I'm basically chewing sideways so it makes eating very difficult. And I am so hungry. :(

Amos Lee

I went to the Amos Lee show at The Dame last night with LaTisha and Meagan. It was awesome! I got to head out of work a little early, so I headed straight over to Meagan's where we were all three meeting. We walked down to The Dame and got in the enormous line to get in. We probably only waited like fifteen minutes, but LaTisha was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get in because I was the only one of us without a ticket. I made it just fine. We each got a drink at the bar and then we pushed our way to the front of the crowd, partly thanks to my large chest. (What can I say, people move for boobs.)

I got to do some joyous people watching during the show as well. Toward the end, this small group of drunken girls made their way up to the front left. One girl (dressed in a Western-style shirt with a short haircut) had been standing near me for quite some time. When these girls came up, they were dancing like mad. Western girl is dancing and in the groove of the music one of the other girls ends up dancing right up against her. This went on for several minutes, with her even reaching behind her body at one point to put her arm behind the head of Western girl. It wasn't until the song was over, and the girl's friends pointed it out to her, that said girl noticed Western girl was indeed a chick. She danced solely with her friends for the remainder of the show. Seeing Western girl and her REALLY HOT guy friend talk about the hilarity of it all was very amusing. I told LaT and Megs that we're all gonna have to go to the mall together one day and people watch.

The most interesting part of the evening came later. We hung around outside for a little bit hoping to see Amos because LaTisha is totally in love with him and wants to have his babies. Amos' bass player Jaron got sent out (after the small crowd left) to talk to us for a little bit. We asked what their plans were and told him about Lynaugh's. Jaron got Meagan's number and we went on to Lynaugh's, stopping at Meagan's apartment for potty breaks and freshening up. Meagan took her phone charger since it was about to die and we found a spot for her to plug in her phone at the bar. (Wow, we are such nerds!) LaTisha and I ran to Speedway and by the time we got back found out that Jaron and the guys were on their way down. It was further than they thought, so we actually ended up meeting them at the corner of Maxwell and Woodland. Unfortunately they were pressed for time and had to head on back to the bus, so we walked with them. It was drizzling a little bit and cold, but we didn't mind. It was Amos, Jaron, and the keyboardist Michael. We all sort of traded out who we walked with every few feet, which was cool and gave each of us a little time to talk to Amos. He asked me what I did (he already knew that we all met from working at Whole Foods, so we talked about Whole Foods a little), what my ambitions were, and we talked a little about how people in more rural areas tend to marry younger. He made the comment that in our society, you're expected to know your career before you know yourself, and that I totally agree with. We made it back to the bus, said goodbye, and went on our merry little way. It was really cool being able to hang out with Amos and afterwards I learned that his degree is in English. How cool is that?

I guess I'm now an Amos Lee fan.
