Log of My Weekend Feb. 15-17

i had a very jam-packed weekend.

on Friday afternoon, Jenn, Mark, Nancy, and i drove to Vegas so that Jenn could give a very special surprise :) it worked. everyone was happy. and then drunk. i had lots of fun. i would've liked it better if we had made it on time to see all of MAH's set, but the rest of the night made up for it. unfortunately, we were tired as hell. it was a very mutual decision to go home, and not spend the night in the packed hotel room meant for the band & its roadies. we left after 4AM and got home at around 9. as exhausted as i was, i couldn't pass up precious Felicity time, and watched 3 episodes before knocking out.

woke up at 5PM to get ready for another MAH set at the Glasshouse. 16 fuckin' dollars for an AIDEN show, that seriously pissed me off. the Vegas show was only $14. anyway, watched MAH's set and left the place. got home at a little past midnight. more Felicity. still tired as hell from the previous day, knocked out.

meant to go to Sprinkles on Sunday, but laziness (and the not-wanting-to-drive-so-far-ness) took over. more Felicity. knocked out sometime in the afternoon, waking up at 5PM. panicked a little bit, showered, got ready. met up with Scott, went to the Glasshouse again. EMERY! sold-out show. amazing :) for being sick, they had incredible energy. it was kinda funny that a bunch of kids left after Emery played their "last" song, without having played "Studying Politics" yet. (duh.) that was cool because it freed up a lot of room for me to get excited during "Politics". and i just have to say, "Walls" was fucking intense.


speaking of shows, Dear Life got on Bamboozle Left. i'm extremely happy for them, but not too surprised. i can't wait to see what the future has in store for this band. this is their year, and hopefully Azusa and DSB will soon follow. i'm just so proud, because this is my family. i've watched these brothers for the past 2 and a half years. the progress has been lengthy, but fruitful. from being support to headliners, becoming demanded in farther & farther areas of this country, gaining respect and loyal fans within the local scene, sharing line-ups with bigger and bigger bands, and on and on and on. the thing i love most, hands down, is watching kids sing along/(yell?) to their songs. i wouldn't be sad if they don't "make it". i'm happy knowing that they're doing what they love to do, with all of the family right beside them. why else would we spend $10 each time to watch the same thing over and over again? :)


all i know is, if and when Dear Life releases a 3rd album under a major label, a certain guitarist is getting me a Vespa.
