The Stone Pony

Alrighty, where do I freakin begin? Shit!!! Alright, let's start out with that I wasn't even planning on going tonight. BUT THANK G-D I DID!!! ok, so I get to the stone pony and the bouncer dude told me that Matt was going on at 10 to 12, and I thought he meant he was going on at 11:50. But I was wrong, and so was he. Matt went on at 9:20. so the pony isn't a very big venue, so I was sitting on the stage for the whole show. It's bigger then the Wetlands but much smaller then Irving. It's a small stage so it wasn't really a big deal. But I took some pics that I hope come out really well. I was sitting right underneath Aben, but he was a bit of a grump (found out later bc Kerry didn't win) so he didn't notice me. Then about the 4th song in he was playing the keyboards and he looked down and saw me and smiled and was like hey, and waved. It was so cute. so then Matty said that he would be signing things after the show. so I knew that I was going to stay. I saw Aben after the show and I was thinking - should I wait until he comes over to me? and I was feeling nervous and then he was with some ppl. and I didn't want to intrude. but then I was thinking JUST DO IT!!! so I went over to him and he gave me a hug, and then went back to talking to his friends and they bought him a shot. so I was thinking, maybe Honey was right - I shouldn't have come and ruin what we had last time. so I walked over to the crowd where Matt was and I was thinking well at least I'll have Matt to cheer me up. So I went over to the merch table and where there wasn't really anyone there and Aben was there and he came over to me, and as we are about to talk John comes over and is like "Aben you have to clean up your stuff." So, I barely got to say anything to him, I told him about the tire and I was about to give him the cd's that Honey so generously burned for me. Then I thought better of it, and said "are you going to hang out after you clean up your stuff?" and he's like "ya" and I said "bc I want to hang out and I have something for you." and he's like "yes, cool." so he went to clean up his stuff and there were only a few ppl now waiting for Matty. so I asked one of the girls waiting to take a pic of me and him and she did. But it wasn't as good as 9:30, but I was like "you remember me from DC right?" and he looked at me and was so close to my face and was like "of course I do." He hugged me, like one of the best fucking hugs ever!! and then I was smiling so big, after the hug, and he scratched my shoulder and then I scratched his. It was so funny, he's awesome. so, I went outside to see Aben. and he was there with Jason and John loading up all their stuff. so Aben came over to me, and was like I'm so sorry about tonight. he was like I was being pulled in so many different directions. I was like it's ok, just as long as I get to talk to you now. so, John came over and we were all talking. so then I was like "I have to give you something." so I gave him the cd's and John thought that it was so awesome. then Aben started hopping up and down talking about the Stevie wonder (honey kindly gave him) and he was like that was awesome, I listened to it this morning and it put me in a better mood (about bush being pres). so that was awesome. so I took out my camera and asked John to take a pic of us and Aben grabbed me and wrapped both arms completely around me and I will KILL someone if that pic does not come out!!! Man he's hot!!! so then Matty Nay come out and we all start talking and Aben said my name for some reason and then Matt repeated it and then he said something about a Yedi!!! and I freaked out. I started telling him the whole Dave story - wait I remember what brought this up. bc during the show they started playing ants marching and matt was making fun of dave. so I said to him, what's the story with you dissing on my Dave. and it was all very funny. and that's when Aben said my name then matt said, then the whole Yedi thing. so, when I was telling matt about it he kept hi fiving me and touching me, it was awesome!!! then he was like when's your B-day and i said may 28th and he's like your a taurus? and I said no gemini. and he got really close to my face again and gave me a funny look and said my wife's a taurus. and I was like ok. so we talked for another litle while, he was making fun of Aben and I told him that I had a huge crush on Aben and he made fun of him again and then matt said something about his hair. and Aben looked at me and was like - do you see how they make fun of me. and I went over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and he held the top of my hand, and I was fake yelling at them to leave aben alone. then I asked matt if he was prom king and I knew that didn't sound right and I turned to John and was like, what's that called, he was like you mean Prom Queen, I laughed and was like no the prom king (on the way home I figured out that it was called Home coming king). But Matt was like "NO" I was such a loser in High school and I was like how is that even possible? he's like you should see pics of me when I was on HS and I said well, I've seen you with the long hair and he was like oh, it's sooo much worse. so everyone was getting in the van, Aben was still talking to me and I was like, so you'll walk me to my car and he's like ya. so, we start walking and pass by the van and I said Bye matty nay, bye jason, bye john and they were all bye yetta. so I am walking with Aben and I said you have any of Damien Rice's stuff and he's like I never really heard his stuff and I was like WHAT and I said well, that's what I am giving you the next time I see you. and he said that he met Damien's girlfriend and I was like he has a girlfriend and he's like ya, and I was like do you mean Lisa and he's like ya, and I was like they're going out?!?! That's AWESOME!! (honey - they are doing it!!!) so we get to my car and I was like you want me to drive you to the van, and he's like ok. so it was only for a few seconds, but I had on the Damien, and he was like I'll def. let you know when we are going to be out on tour again. and he was so nice and was like drive carefully, don't blow out anymore tires, and we'll speak soon.
I was like ok. IT WAS AN AWESOME AWESOME NIGHT!!!! I am so glad that I went, and I can NOT wait to see my pics. I am totally in love with all of them!!! WHAT A GREAT FUCKING NIGHT!!! I only wish that I wasn't alone, but I'm glad that I remembered everything. I usually totally forget, I might even think of other things that happened. who knows? I jsut can't believe it!!
