i'm a rawk star

greenspun.com : LUSENET : It's All About Joe 90: The Discussion Board : One Thread

first off: we lost so much money. we were stressing. craig gave us a pep talk back stage. they all kept asking us if we were okay. lol, we're pathetic when we're stressed. but right before the show, our advisor said, "we have the money to cover this. you guys have worked so hard; just go out there and ENJOY the show."

so we did. and it was incredible. setlist, in no particular order: just a dream (for both of us), drive, truth, road, nov bombs, such is life, when i die, when you arrive, this is the real world (for me), and super hero (for britt). i think that's all.

i think we spent like nine or ten hours with them today. i have no idea. they double-booked the auditorium so we were an hour late into getting the sound in. they went back to their van and i swear they were going to practice voodoo on us or something. i felt so bad! gr, i wish they would have TOLD me we couldn't have the auditorium until 4:30... but anyway.

there were these two sixth grade girls who were in love with gary. they kept asking all of us about them. they're like, "do you know him? oh my god!!!" it was cute. gary is loved. oh yeah, and i had a ten year old hit on me. i told him about the concert and he's like, "will you be there?" and i said yes and he said, "okay, i'll be there then" in a voice that i believe was a pathetic attempt to be sexy. wooooha, gary and i get hit on by the sixth graders!

craig tried to teach us how to play bass. it didn't work. we'll watch and pretend. but hey, i got a nifty blue pick out of it (just remembered that).

the new shirts are so cool. i bought one (of course). i finally got a poster too. i've been waiting an eternity for those things.

uhhhh what else. i could go on and on about how incredible and wonderful the guys are, but you all know that. beautiful souls :)

i'll think of random stuff later. i don't want to go to bed... ever. i don't want to go back to the real world :)

'night... we love you all!

ok, i am SO glad jessica and brittney's show went well today--as I took my ticket money to the post office, I was almost stressing! Can you believe it? I feel like such a Joe90 groupie (though my ass has not gotten to a show yet!). Jessica--could you maybe send me some information on the charity this was for? Or post a link? Thanks bunches. I am happy (and proud!) for both of you. It is one of those nights when I really, really need to write a term paper but I just can't get focused. I have done ten million things that needed to get done . . . just not the damn term paper which was due *MONDAY!* Thank God I got an extension because of the whole mess this weekend, but the asshole teacher (though not because of this instance--) said I have to get a "note from your parents, no details or anything . . . just saying that you were doing family stuff this weekend." So Saturday night (not knowing the extent of anything), I went and got drunk, and took the SAT saturday, and sang sunday and worked that race sunday afternoon. Um, hellp? Massive time I could have been working on the paper. And who is going to point this out when I tell my parents to write me a note excusing me from a HUGE paper which they did not know I was supposed to write?! um, fuck?! I think that long paragraph was just my exasperation talking. At least I am getting some bootlegs copied that have been waiting for me for months. And I finally paid for all my ebay stuff. And I need to go run. shit! And I was thinking about getting more involved! In closing, though, I have a command for all of you. Search your piggybank and couches and car seats for loose change, and raid your checking account, and get a loan, and panhandle, and get some money so you can go buy: 1. Jeff Buckley "Mystery White Boy: Live '95-'96" CD,
2. Jeff Buckley "Live in Chicago" DVD/Video, and
3. Billy Joel "2000 Years: The Millenium Concert" 2 CD set. All three are fabulous, but I am especially recommending the Buckley dvd here, because I really wish I had seen him live. I am officially strapped for cash. Bye bye birthday money. I can't wait for summer to come, for the simple reason that I will have a job and actual cash in the bank (not to mention i will be done with the "junior year from hell!" thats it out of me. i guess i should go be productive. right. --DR

i allowed myself to stroke the new jeff buckley CD today.

it was nice.

i cant buy it until the end of the month. i am WAY over my limit for CDs this month already. and yes, i DO limit myself. i have like, 350 right now and no where to put them. so i had to. for safety's sake.

i just wanted to post that the niceness of my folder friends amazes me. i have gotten some of the nicest emails and offers EVER in the last week or so.....from people i have never met in person. at least, not yet. it gives you faith in mankind when people are so giving and caring to someone they barely know.

btw, the perv kiosk guy clapped for me tonite. the staring thing i can handle, but when he claps for me when i clean the marble on the floor....well, he got the dirtiest look. and then i threw a chair at him. like i said, i could beat him up. he's a small man.

the reason i am posting is because the lovely Gina, from the CC board, posted the rainforest site. i know a lot of us visit the hunger site everyday, and now you can visit the rainforest site too. save the trees, and the earth*

have a good thursday. im staying up late and waking up late. sleep is on its way, i can feel it.
