HOLY CRAP!!! Damien Rice tonight!!!

I was going to write a great blog about seeing the amazing movie Once with Glen Hansard. But after what happened tonight after the Damien Rice show I needed to quickly talk about that. First let me say that Honey and I saw Damien b4 the show and requested Insane, which he did not play. Which I will talk about in a minute. The we saw Tomo and we said hey and he made fun of my Jersey accent bc I was like I'm from Jersey like you. He was doing stuff but when he was done he totally walked over to us and talked to us for like 10 minutes which was amazing!! I was able to tell him that he is one of my drum heroes even though I don't even play the drums and he was like well I have piano heroes and I don't play that!! I was like good point. Then he wanted to know who else was on the list. so I told him Carter Beauford and he said that he used to play in a band that used to tour around with DMB!!! and I thought that was so awesome!!! The I said Dom from Muse. We also asked him to play Insane and I remember and neither happened. :( but that's alright!!!

After the show Honey and I took a seat on the grass and we waited for Shane. Damien came out first and we didn't go over to him, he had a lot of people waiting so he was talking to them. He was really nice and gave everyone food and water. Honey took a oatmeal, chocolate chip cookie and a water, I took a water. It was so laid back. Finally, Shane came out and right away he started talking to us. I can't even remember all that we talked about bc we talked to him for more than an hour!!! We talked a lot about Music. Really I was silent for a long time, bc he makes me nervous bc I am so in love with him. Honey really had the ball in her court and was asking him a ton of questions. I gave him the picture of me and him and he was SOOO excited about it. He asked if he could keep it and I was like of course!!! He said that he was going to put it up on his wall!!! and he was NOT kidding!!! Then damien came over and it was too much!!! So once Damien came over I was able to talk normally. What's also funny is that Damien, without any sort of prompting from myself, said that he remembered us from the last time he was here. He saw the picture of me and shane and there was a look on damien that, to me, said that's a nice picture I should really do that more often. But that's just just a feeling. Anyway, so I said to him, "what happened to Insane? Who dropped the ball on that one?" and he said that they were about to play it but JOEL?!!? didn't want to. whatever, then I said and what happened to I remember?!?! and shane was like we would have been there all night!!!!!! and I was like so??? then this weird high girl came over to talk to damien. shane went to put his stuff on the bus. so we were standing there with this girl and damien. But b4 that we were able to tell him that we saw once and it was amazing!!! and glen is amazing. He was asking if it looked like a home movie. And we were telling him about it. It was amazing. We told him that we expected to see him in it and he was that he was supposed to be in it but he was in the studio, but he did help glen on some songs. CRAZY!!! it gets better!!!! so this weird girl totally interrupts and talks to him. The funny thing about was that at one point he looked at me to save him and I was like I can't do anything dude. So shane came off the bus and that's when we talked for a crazy long time.

We talked about music and man crying and his birthday and my birthday. He's a taurus and he was like oh your a gemini. He was like I'm a Bull. TOOO HOT!!! By this point I was talking much more and acting like myself again. he talked about his upcoming wedding and what he's going to wear. so I told him that I think he should wear a really nice shiny tie, with a vest and jacket. He was like you should come and dress me for the wedding!!! I was like I'm SOOO THERE!!!! He saying stuff that was really hot, and I said out loud, that makes me love you more. and he loved that!!! towards the end of the night, b4 we got to get in pictures with him. We somehow got to the topic of the beacon show of theirs and how that is the best show hands down by anyone that I have ever been to. he was like really!! and I was like yes, it was transcendent. He said that in Montreal they did an acoustic show and it was amazing. I asked if anyone taped it and he said he didn't know. I said is it wrong to say that I have a copy of the beacon show and I listen to it all that time. Should I not say that? and he was like you can say whatever you want!!! The window of opportunity opened for me and I took the chance I needed!!!! I said really??? anything?!?!?! and he was like not everything. I said bc I have things and questions that I want to ask. and he was like I plead the fifth!!! I said ok, let me tell you something!!! I said the day after Damien put out his little announcement about Lisa, we saw her in NY. and shane said "oh she told me about that, she rung me up!" Honey and I freaked the fuck out!!!! I grabbed his arm and freaked out. Honey immediately said, "WHAT DID SHE SAY?!?!?!" He was laughing and said "I should have known that it was the 2 of you!!!" I freaked out more and grabbed his arm again. He said, "After the snow patrol right?" and me and honey freaked out even more!!! I couldn't believe that Lisa had called him and talked to him about us!!! We told him what we said to her and gave her a small pep talk and it was very emotional and we were all almost crying. Shane said that Lisa called us really sweet girls!!! I cannot even believe it!!! then I said we changed the subject bc we were all about to cry so I brought up you shane!!! and he laughed and we told him that lisa told us that he was getting married and I told him the joke lisa said about no ring on his finger. I immediately got embarrassed and said I'm so embarrassed. I covered my face with my hands then I hid in his shoulder. It was so HOT!!!!! Then I saw tomo again and wanted to show him that I got a drum stick and I poked him with it. we had a laugh and he was going to steal it back, but I was like hey!!! that's mine now!!! The bus started and shane and I took the YUMMIEST!!! I MEAN THE YUMMIEST!!!! picture of my life!!! he was squeezing me so hard!!! it was so great. He hugged me and pretty much held me in his nook 4 times!!!!!! I almost started to cry bc I was just so happy!!! I couldn't believe that this was happening, that any of this night happened. When we hugged to say goodbye, I told him that I loved him and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then we said goodbye to damien who gave nice warm hugs.

I know that there is a lot of rambling but I had to quickly write this blog!!! I couldn't hold it in any longer!!!!! I LOVE SHANE!!!! I can't believe that Lisa called him and told him about us!!!! That night we met her was special not just for us!!! Shane told us some really great things!!! It was a great night!!!! what a great night for birthday hoopla start!!!!
