Tonight was such an amazing night. I don’t know where to begin; I guess from the top will do.
4:00PM. I left to go get Jenn, since this was our big event. Crocodile Rock Cafe, the place a few blocks from where my church is, happened to be the it place of the night. LFO‘s huge reunion tour (with Rookie of the Year, Go Crash Audio, Kiernan McMullan and Dime Store Profit) was a blast. It was falling in love over and over again.
5:00PM. We arrive and park outside Croc Rock. I’ve never been there, so we’re wandering around just taking it easy. Found the tour bus and preggo van 🙂 Jenn bought a drink and we sat around for a while, spotting people with tags and passes the entire time. While we were waiting for the doors to open, we could hear some of them playing. Every Other Time, of course, was one of the songs (heart that one up in Scranton too, actually).  We jammed along upstairs, of course.
6:00PM. The doors open. I go to claim my ticket. I paid for general admission, but the paper said VIP. Hot hell I wish I had VIP. I didn’t want to say much incase I could get away with VIP or even Meet and Greet, but I wasn’t going to lie to the guy, either. It was eventually settled, so whatever. We got standing room right up front- I’m not complaining. Dime Store Profit was the first to go, followed by Kiernan McMullan, Go Crash Audio and then Rookie of the Year. They were all pretty great, I must say.
9:30PM. After a bit of a break from Rookie, LFO make their appearance. Rich Cronin, Devin Lima and Brad Fuschetti (and hey, I can tell who is who for defs, now!) It was a great line up of 14 songs; 3x3x3x2x2x1. That last song of course being Summer Girl 😀
Rich did such a great job after all he’s been through. Got a piece of his solo career. Devin did a Cadbury piece too (then again they were playing in the back :P). Love them, but my personal favorite has to go to Brad. *mumbles*omg did you see that eye contact. he was totally looking at me *swooooon* ahahaha [/end]. He’s really quite something though. We had this whole peace love thing going on in the beginning. Think he recognized me as the creep from Scranton? Where I wanted to just call out NICE PANTS with those True Religions again (and some Calvins under there. oh my) I can only hope.
Did I mention he sweat on me (almost any other time, that would have been gross)? How about when he took my hand. OR WHEN JENN SLIPPED HIM HER NUMBER! That’s a dream and a half (but I’d love to see that phone ring).
Brad, if you happen to catch this entry here too, can we be friends?
After the show, I picked up my share of merch and Jenn got her shirt/bra/boobs signed. It was pretty exciting. Got to meet some of the guys (they’re wonderful).
I’ll have to put up pictures later (there’s quite the bunch), but the show was absolutely amazing. I wish my budget let me room for Meet and Greet for both Jenn and I; then we could all laugh about my crazy adventure, the super sexy pants and little things like that. PS. I’ve never been into twitter more than I am now (because of them). FOLLOW ME 🙂
12:00AM. The entire ride back was just riding this massive high. I still can’t believe I went to that show. I saw LFO. Did you? As Jenn was stepping out of the car, it hit me. Dave is leaving today! The highest high and suddenly the lowest low. I’m so manic depressive (or are they calling it bi-polar…i don’t remember which is more technical). That was a huge bummer, but I’ll live. I get back to the house, grab some food, chill a bit.
