The Longest Bloggggg Ever!

Hot man Britt Daniel, lead singer of Spoon....



Alrighty, here we go with probably one of the longest blogs yet. I just checked and this is 8 pages in Word, so you see it is really quite long.

Let’s start with Friday AM, I woke up and showered and this time, I only had to pack a book bag, as opposed to a suit case. It was going to be a short trip to MD. I was def. looking forward, then of course, I totally got my period. Which wasn’t half bad, a quick praise of the tampon, thanks to the doc who invented it.

Alright, on to the long ride to MD, it was totally pouring, I drove through a really bad storm and it was really quite cold in MD. I get to Honey’s house and watch her cook an awesome dinner. She also set up the computer for me and I watched the Harry Potter, Prisoner of Azkahban. As I was about to pull out The Neiman Marcus cook book, that was on the table. Honey’s Mom came into to say Hello and hands me a Neiman Marcus Cookbook, which she got for my birthday. Thank you Honey’s MOM!! I totally LOVE IT!! Then we ate an AWESOME dinner, I love fish. It was really good. She also made this shredded vegi thing and that was also delish. Then we went to hang out downstairs and April came home. Then I decided that I should but one of Honey’s presents on her computer. And I did. She has no idea, I LOVE IT!! Then we were looking at pictures of Britt Daniel, from SPOON, on the computer bc I had no idea what he looked like, and I wanted to make sure that I would recognize him.

Then we left and it took a really quick time to get to the show. I remember it being a much longer drive. We listened to Iron and Wine on the way there and I really like them. We got a really good spot and went to wait on line, as soon as we got there they started letting ppl. in. We saw that weird guy with all the piercings and tattoos. Then we went straight to our usual place at the balcony, which is a great spot. Then I saw a guy and said, “that could be Britt Daniel.” And Honey’s eyes popped out of her head, and she also thought it was him. We were chilling in our spot, when we saw that guy we thought was Britt, come stand right next us. It was totally him, I kept poking Honey to go talk to him and she wouldn’t. I would have, but I wanted to wait until after to talk to him, bc I find it easier to talk to ppl. after the show. (I don’t know why). Anyhoo – He walked away and that was that. Then the band that opened up for Spoon, SUCKED!!! I don’t recall their name or anything they even played. But I do remember Honey and I played the “who would you rather sleep with” game. And that was fun. We played it the entire set, that’s how bad they were.

Then Spoon came on and they were AMAZING!!! I thought I knew most of there songs, but you know what, I don’t really know any of the words and I thought that was kinda funny. The one song that I did know the words too, Britt said, that everyone liked it only bc they heard it on the OC. Whatever, I don’t watch the OC. I like it , cause I like it. (Apocolypsa) I wished they would have played longer. But they didn’t. After the show, Honey wanted to but a shirt, you can see it on her blogger at slapchar.blogspot.com. I got a sticker, bc there were no pins. But then I saw there were ppl. talking to the band on the stage. So, I wanted to say hello. I talked to the bass player first and he was cute, like Aben cute. So, I told him that I came from NJ to see the show, and he was like my best friend lives in Jersey, and I was like ok. That’s random. And then he shook my hand and it held it for like an extra second and looked right at me, and that was hot. Then I went to talk to the Keyboard player and he was kinda weird. Honey was waiting and I said that’s my friend, She’s waiting, she loves you guys too, she’s shy. And he waved and it was a funny moment. Then I told him the jersey thing and I should have said that I couldn’t get a ticket. Then he coulda been like, I’ll put you on the list. Then I would have died, bc I am soooooo sick right now.

I was happy that I got to meet them and we were headed outside and about ready to go, and I said I just wanted to see if there was anyone by the tour bus. We had to get up early the next day and I had a long drive ahead of me, so I didn’t want to wait or anything. Then I saw these two girls knocking on the bus, and the door opened. I called to Honey and just start walking quickly to the bus door and there was Britt, talking to these girls and I heard him say, well I don’t have a pen. And I said, “I have a pen!!!” and they all looked at me, and I gave the tiny sharpie that Honey gave me as one of many of my presents, and he was like, “this is the smallest sharpie ever.” It was really cute of him, so he signed the other girls’ ticket and my sticker, then I was like, can you take a pic with us. And he was like, “Ok, let me just change my shirt first.” It was really weird of him. He came out of the bus and he was joking around with us. He took a crappy pic with me and a really cute one with Honey and ok ones with the other 2 girls. So I demanded a re-shoot, I wanted a huggy pic, and I wrapped both my arms around him (full on chest/nook contact.) and he wrapped his arms around me, then at the last minute, he stuck out his arm and pointed at the camera and it was awesome. I was in Britt heaven. Then he went back into 9:30 bc I think we were becoming annoying, the other girls were drunk and loud, and one of them didn’t know who he was. But b4 he left he thought the show wasn’t that great, me and Honey were like shut up it was soooo good. They are so good live. He’s a crazy man.

Then we went to the car, and there was all this porn left on the car, it was really funny. We were driving home and the whole time, both of us were like, I CANNOT believe we just met Britt Daniel!!! That’s just crazy, it wasn’t like planned out as we usually do things, we weren’t planning on meeting them, we had to leave, but there they were!!! It was all goodness, then we got back to honey’s house and I don’t remember much, I do remember sleeping. It was good stuff.

When we woke up, we were on the road by 10AMish. We listened to Spoon, Muse and someone else, the whole time. It was good stuff. We got back to my house, I showered and changed and spent time for a bit with my kitties.

Then we were out the door again to the city, to see The Killers. We got parking in the east village (for free) and then we ate good food at Zen Palate. They have great food there, as usual we ordered too much. Then we worked our way up to the park and there was a huge line. The line, thank goodness went quickly, bc it was really hot. Then we were standing for a minute, and Honey was like, let’s get drinks, and I really needed water.

Then all of a sudden, I saw this women pass by and I heard her voice and it was flippin’ RACHEL RAY!!! I couldn’t believe it!! I grabbed Honey and I was like, OH MY G-D, THAT WAS RACHEL RAY!! And she was like, how did you recognize her and I said I don’t know. Honey was like, wait, and I was like – NO!! I went after her and I lightly tapped her on the shoulder and I said, “are you Rachel ray?” And she said, “yes.” Honey was like a mile away, and I was thinking GET OVER HEAR!! And I finally was able to tell her “how much I love you, and while I was in the hospital, all I watched was you and ER.” And she was like, “good.” Then honey finally came over and we were all talking and she was like you have good taste, bc I was wearing the U2 shirt, honey got me at the totally rocking U2 concert, a few weeks earlier. And I was like, thanks. Then she introduced us to her man, and then this other guy she was with invited us to his show, and Rachel Ray was like, I’ll totally be there, you guys should come. And then that’s when I said, I saw you on Oprah and they laughed. Then I asked if we could take a pic together and she was totally into it. It was a great pic, again look at honey’s blog for the actual picture. That was really great meeting her, and the fact that she was at a Killers show, means that she is AWESOME!!! So then we got our drinks and Honey got a t-shirt, one for her and one for me, Honey’s awesome. I love my t-shirt, so thank you!!

We got a pretty good spot for the Killers and I was totally going MAD!!! I couldn’t stop jumping up and down, and they were awesome!! Brandon Flowers was wearing a white suit and it was all kinds of hotness!! They totally rocked!!! I wished they would have played longer, but whaterya gonna do?

Then we wanted of course, to try and meet the band and we had set ourselves up my the VIP section. And I saw that ppl. were freaking out and there were a ton of camera’s going and I was like, what could they possibly be looking at? I looked and low and behold, it was JAY-Z!!! He was at a Killers show!! Then we were watching the VIP section and Keenu reeves was taking pictures with some fans, in the VIP section. That was cool. We saw that there was NO way of meeting them, so we headed out. It was a crazy day!!

We got back to the car and talking the whole time, about the past couple of days. When we got home, I was like, I NEED a shower. So, I did. We hung out with the cats, then we made a festival list for YettaRoo (which is a cross between Yetta, and bonnaroo): Which is the following:

That night I had a great dream about Britt and we were totally together in the dream and it was good stuff. Then I had a dream that me and honey met Keane, but they were being weird, and Britt was watching me meet another band and he wasn’t that happy about it. But he was really hot. And now that he was in my dream, I totally want him even more.

Then the next day we slept late, but not late enough. I had to go food shopping, so we dragged honey along, but thank goodness, Honey cooking an awesome dinner!! And that was really good!! We also got the pictures developed that day and I was quite happy, except none of my U2 pics came out. Why I don’t know why. But I am going to make a bunch of them big. Then we went to rent 2 movies, cause I have a bunch of coupons for free ones. We rented Margerit Cho and High Fidelity. Both very funny. Then we went to sleep. Muffin stayed and hung out with us, Arwen went hiding. I don’t know where she went. Muffin really likes honey, arwen is just very shy.

So then, on Monday we went to do some errands and then went to starbucks and drank some drinks. When we were there, they played DMB for like 40 MINUTES!!! It’s like they knew I was coming. I read the Harry Potter, the second book, and read like 3½ chapters already. I love the HARRY POTTER. Then we went home and I made dinner, nothing to exciting. Just some burgers and a really good salad. After dinner we watched Eddie Izzard, the strangely good looking transvestite. I don’t think Honey liked it that much, but I think he’s funny. Then we watched Boondock Saints, which I really liked. That Sean Patrick Flannery is one hot man!!

The next day I had to go to work for a couple of hours, when I got home. I got dressed and did my makeup. Lily came over and borrowed my curling Iron, so she met Honey and that was good. Then we headed out the door again. We parked in the area we usually park in and it was for free, which is always awesome!! Tonight was KEANE!! And I was really looking forward to this show, even though in the past I always forgot we were going to this one. The mission was to meet Tom Chaplin!! Let’s back it up first. We were walking trying to find a place to eat, and honey was on the phone and I saw movie trucks, so I push Honey down the street. And we ate right across the street from the action. We weren’t really saying anything, we were both hungry. And all of a sudden, I saw JACK FUCKING NICHOLSON!!!! I quickly got my camera out and took a picture, I really hope it came out good. We wanted to go over and try and meet him, but his bodyguard was quite large. Huge, scary, enormous man. But after lunch, we went over and I asked one of the movie ppl. what movie is being made, and she said something along the lines of Deparded, or departed or something and I asked who else was in it. She said Leo Dicaprio and Matt Damon. And I asked and of course only Jack was there that day. But hello – awesomeness!!

Then I called my sister in law, bc we were kinda in the area and wanted to know if whe would meet us. So we met her at her office and she came downstairs, and was very happy to see me. I feel bad that she hates her job, but it was nice to see her and she met Honey. And that was good. We talked for a while, but then she had to get back to work and we headed to Union Square and got some drinks on a very, very long Starbucks line. Then we went across the street and watched ppl., I saw some really cute dogs. Then we headed for the subway and met Donna for Dinner and she talked about her trip to New Orleans and he up coming wedding. Dinner was really good, I got this fish thing and it was all kinds of yummy. Then we headed to the subway and I thought I saw a lady who does 60mins. When we got to the platform and got closer we saw that it wasn’t her. But we really didn’t care. We got on the train and got off at the wrong spot, but it gave us time to hide my camera in honey’s skirt, which didn’t really matter, bc they really didn’t check so much. Then we get to the amazing Radio city, we did a quick glance to see if we could see the bus, but it wasn’t there. Then we went inside, and I tried to look for my soap opera guy, bc I thought he might be there. He wasn’t.

When we went inside to our seats there was a really, weird opener Regina something, something regina. She was quite odd. And ppl. were totally making fun of her, then she sang a song without her weird sounding piano and some guy started singing along loudly to her, and she said Fuck you and everyone roared with laughter and clapping. It was a good moment for her. Then we took a bathroom break.

To say that this show was good would be the biggest understatement of the year. It was a phenomenal show. I have never seen Tom Chaplin look so happy. He was just awestruck at the response from the crowd. He even told a few stories, and it was unbelievable. They did my favorite song, bedshaped. And I was happy. I was brought to tears when they ended, they just all stood there for a few minutes and just looking at the crowd, and they kept thanking us. Then like actors, they all went to the front and held each other and bowed. It was really quite something.

Then as I said, the mission was to meet them. Bc if we didn’t I would have cried. I wanted to meet them so bad. There were so many ppl. waiting, that I thought for a minute that this really might not happen. Then after about an hour, Tom came out. He first went to the other side, then he came to our side, and a very nice gentleman moved out of the way for me and Honey, and there was Tom, he signed my CD cover, Honey’s ticket and I asked him about opening up for U2 in the states, I was so frazzled I didn’t really hear his answer. Then I was like, I have another thing, Can I have a hug? And he was like of course, and it was a GOOD hug. Everyone was like oh man, then they all copied me. I hope the pic that Honey took came out.

Then we waited for Richard, who HELLO is HOT!!! WOW!! Really HOT!! He signed my cover and Honey’s ticket and I took a pic of Honey and him. Then we went to the other side and went to meet Tim. And he was just amazing!! Honey and I both took pictures with him and he was great. Then we met these 2 kids and I took there pic with Tim, and they were happy. Then I also re-asked my question to Tim about the tour with U2 and he said they were only opening for them in Europe, even after Honey begged, but he did say they were going back into the studio, which is really good.

Elated isn’t the word. I was just soooo happy that we got to meet them. I hugged freaking Tom Chaplin!!! On the way we home me and Honey made a top 10 concert list, and it is this:

When I woke up the next morning I was shredded. I was so flippin tired, I was feeling really sick, so I asked my mom if she could drive to the city, so we could drop Honey at the train station and she said she would. Thanks to the MOM!! Honey told me her dream, which was cool bc I was totally making out with Richard and I def. wouldn’t mind that. And Honey was talking to Tim and he was like he must really like her, he doesn’t do that. And even though I felt like death warmed over, I was like HELL YA!!

Ok, so we take Honey to the train and that was sad. Even though I am seeing her in less then a month. So, me and my mom drive off, and like, 3 cabs almost hit her. ArGh, city driving!! So we get home and I have about a ½ b4 I have to go to work. I ended up lying with my Arwen, her head in my hand and we rested together. When I got up I felt worse, and my mom had to drive me to work. I was so completely out of it that I couldn’t even play computer games. I don’t know how I got through work, The last patient called in sick, and then the Doc let me go home early. I ate, showered and was in bed by 7pm, and I called my ppl. and went to sleep at 8:15pm.

The dream that I remember from last night was weirdly cool. Ok, so I was like working for the government or something and there was a disk that we were hiding, Kiefer and I (of course). It had info on it for locations of important buildings in the US and other countries. Kiefer didn’t even know where it was, I did. But I didn’t tell him. I gave it to a friend of his to hold onto and she knew that wouldn’t be able to tell anyone. This girl and I were rooming together. I didn’t even really know where she had hidden it. So Kiefer was coming over for something and I was out of the room, I saw the door was opened and I heard men’s voices. I peaked in so they wouldn’t see me. And there were terrorists trying to get the info from this girl. And all of a sudden I saw her blow herself up, so that she was sure she wouldn’t tell them anything. It was crazy, then I hid and the guys left after wrecking the place. Then I went in there and she was completely disintegrated, gone, nothing was left. And the place was a mess. I sat on my bed and I started crying, Kiefer came in after, what felt like 10 min. The room was still a mess, but someone came and cleaned up the ash – weird, I know – and he saw me crying, and he was almost mocking me and said, are you crying? And I looked over at the girls’ bed and explained to him what had happened. He started crying right in front of me. And I stood up and put my hands on his face and we looked at each other with tears in our eyes and started kissing. It was the kind of kissing that was like, if I don’t have you NOW I am going to die. And it was mixed with the comforting kissing, it was so hot. Then he picked me up and we starting having sex up against a wall. It was CRAZY!!! After it was over, both of us were like, that was weird. Then I started searching for the disk and I found taped to the back of the girls bed post. I didn’t tell Kiefer bc there were all these ppl. in the room all of a sudden and I didn’t trust any of them. I think I watch way too much TV. It was def. a great dream!! Sex and Kiefer mix very well.

So, that was the craziness of this weekend concert extravaganza!!!! It was so much fun, thank you to honey for coming up and seeing all these great bands with me and the hooplaness. No one else would ever put up with it, and not only do you put up with it, you enjoy just as much as I do. Thank you for an amazing weekend.
