well, I do have some exciting news to share with the group. Just about 24hrs ago, I was in the same room as VNV nation. now, this is not a normal feeling for me. I DO NOT get star-struck... ever. But wow, I felt superior to everyone in the world(I was front and center, on the gaurd-rail.) The show was amazing. Coder23 opened with an hour of music and then VNV came out and played a 2.5hr set, probably. I was amazed, first of all that I could listen to that music at such high volumes for so long, and because I noticed that the energy and the vibe I was getting wasnt the 'high' I usually get at ska/punk shows. There was a real connection. I honestly felt like I knew everyone in the room and that I could walk up to any of them and tell them a secret. I will absolutely go and see them again.
so, firsts of last night:
1. first time my car got to go on I-25
2. first time I drove to denver
3. first time Ive been to the Gothic
4. first time I saw VNV
5. first time Ive been star-struck
6. first ticket.
funny story about the ticket. I found it on my widshield after the show and I looked at the info at the top. not only did the officer write the wrong license plate nuber but he also got my car model wrong. So yay, no ticket.
Today. MY BOSS GOT FIRED!!!!!! :):):):):) The asshole who invaded our shop, changed everything and left us to blindly feel our way through it is gone! and was replaced by the manager who should have been put in charge long ago. so work is getting a bit smoother, again :).
After work I picked up sarah and dali and took them into the mountains without them knowing where we were going or why we were there. once I got done scaring them enough to entertain me I went and picked up lacey and andrea... This is where the trouble starts.
Most people think that in a few years manual/standard transmission cars will be useless or obsolete so they dont teach their kids how to drive them. So I took it upon myself to teach everyone but lacey.
I went to a long, straight stretch of road where I knew no one would be and I let andrea take the car out and back. then when dali went to start it it did nothing. So I was stranded in BFE with not a whole lot of options. my mom and neighbor came and got us and we came back here, now that the car is back we tried starting it up agian and it isnt working, so I think I am going to be buying a new starter sometime soon. poop. well, anyway, after this inccident I have decided to call my car Eileen.
