i survived ACL fest 2006!
the weekend update, plus some...
so this weekend was ACL fest, i was incredibly stoked seeing as i had never invested in a 3 day pass and i was excited about several people. i took friday off and started my day off a little late, i meant to be at shawna's in time to walk to zilker to see guster play @ 2.30...instead i had a heart to heart with ce, had lunch with my mom and took my time. ooops, although as far as i heard, they played a lot of new stuff, which is ok i missed it because i don't know any new stuff. first and foremost, i didn't hear a bad band at ACL, sure we had to walk by the nickel creek stage on the way in, but i mean, besides that...;) on friday, i saw okkervil river, thievery corporation, ray lamontagne and van morrisson. after the concert, shawna and i walked back with sharla and got ready to go out. colleen met us at shawna's and we walked downtown, we started off at cedar street to watch shawna's boss sing in this 80s band called lc rocks, i love them. anyway, while i was waiting for shawna and colleen to close their tabs i looked over and saw this guy who looked vaguely familiar...turns out, it was the guy from fado from about 2 months ago...aka, in my top 3 worst nights out EVER! if you don't remember that night, you can go find it, i'm not linking to it...anyways, he apologized and so did i, the end. he offered to buy me a drink, but i kindly refused. thanks, but no thanks, i don't need, nor want that. anyways, then we struggled on our next location, we went to lavaca for a shot, then lucky lounge and then ended up at Six. all in all, i was pretty much a buzzkilljoy on friday, i had over-hydrated my soul and i had a headache from earlier, so i was no fun. boo me.
on saturday, woke up, and shawna and i started watching the 2nd season of the office, such a great show. "QUIET YOU!" "...miss you...what?" haha. sharla came over and then shawna and i went to sandy's to get lunch, yum-o! we headed to zilker around 430 i think and saw aimee mann, the racounteurs, iron & wine and willie nelson. i was glad i got to experience some new music, because except for like one iron & wine song and typical willie songs, i had no idea who any of these people were. it was a success and a very chill day for me. willie's sound was messed up though and we were in the back so couldn't really hear him and left a little early. shawna and i got ready and colleen came over (do you see a pattern?) and we went downtown. we started off at lucky lounge and then brian texted colleen and said him and john were at bull mccabe's down on 7th and red river, so we took a cab over there and met up with him, john and val. it was fun, i'm not usually down in that area very much, and i probably won't be ever again, but i mean, whatever. i made amends with friendships, i did very well with being very honest with people this weekend, i was very proud of myself. the night was calm until the end, and of course drama ensued, walking to find a cab, with brian helping colleen, me making sure shawna didn't wander off in the street and getting yelled at by certain people *cough* just for asking them to do a favor for me. shawna DID in fact wander off and i had to go find her, and then force her into a cab, boo. then we went back to her apt and brian and colleen finally found us and i tried to sleep but couldn't very well, boo.
on sunday, shawna, colleen and i went to eat breakfast at whataburger then started watching season 2 of grey's anatomy..another great show. then i went to go have brunch with my mom before her week long conference in houston. came back to shawna's, tried to take a nap, then we got ready for our last night of ACL. we got there in time to see ben harper, g. love, and tom petty. unfortunately the sky was lightning and people were freaking out and it rained, so we left a little early, but at least i heard some of tom petty's old stuff and can say "i saw tom petty in concert" even if it was only for 30 mins, oh well. i heard he came back on and was amazing...not surprised. after we got back to shawna's, i went straight home, ate dinner and tried to go to sleep, boo. i was so tired i couldn't sleep, wth is wrong with me?
so my entire body ached yesterday, it was awful, i felt like i got beat up, but that's what happens when you walk like 2 miles a day for 3 days carrying crap. oh well, the exercise is good i assume. after work i went to eat dinner at chuy's with shawna, sharla, colleen, vincent, stephanie and jarrod. they were giving 15% of their proceeds to benefit AIDS. "i'm a very charitable person!" i left my juice at shawna's, so i went to pick it up and then home.
this week is very exciting for a few reasons. one, it's the season premiere week of new shows, last night i watched the class which isn't really that great, but i like it because it's about this guy who tries to get a bunch of old classmates together and the stuff that happens when he does. it kind of reminds me of being class rep for the saudi people and all the funny/cute things that happen when you reunite *wink*, so i will watch it. i also watched studio 60 on the sunset strip, best. new. show. of the year. hands down. i love that matthew perry is a different character than in friends, i'm glad he can pull off a semi-dramatic character. anyways, i love the writing, characters, etc, i can't wait for monday nights @ 9pm!! tonight, i've got nip/tuck, which i'm still on season 2 of, and smith, the one with ray liotta. i used to think ray liotta was hot, until i realized he has no facial expressions, too much botox, but it looks entertaining so i'm going to give it a shot tonight.
today i have a headache, it's. awesome. i can't stop sneezing, and my voice is kind of raspy and i'm coughing, so i don't appreciate my allergies right now, i will REALLY NOT appreciate them if they make me really sick before this weekend! which is my OTHER thing of excitement, i'm flying to see chris on friday! yay! :) i can't wait!! i haven't seen him since labor day weekend, so you can imagine how happy i am!
i'm going to dinner with my dad tonight, and hopefully to the gym because i'm really choking in that department. anywayssssssss,
got lots of work to do.
peace.
