"I CAN'T TAKE IT." - Nathan
I have never seen such an a big early turn-out.
Where do I even start on this show.
Before I left for the show, a few people dropped by.
I cleared the air with a friend, and I'm glad I got the answer I wanted.
When we got there the bar staff was super friendly.
They knew my name and said to ask if I needed anything.
Be Bad set up and played a great set.
Even the bar staff was getting into it.
I could actually hear Toby this time, which has been my one complaint since the first time I saw Be Bad.
The Bad Motels also did an excellent job.
Marc called me a 'nazi' a few times.
I was drunk and seriously did not want people to go over their set time limit.
They played a song for Mike D, Uber D and Lindsay not-D.
Troy got on stage and sang along with the Stooges song they dedicated to him.
I have all of this madness on video, I wish I could host that much video online.
They dedicated the same song as usual to me.
Things start getting a little hazy here.
See, before I left, I thought ahead of time.
Usually bar drinks are 3.75 - 4.25 so I had a pint with me.
It turns out drinks there were 2.75 (making them more awesome).
But you know, I couldn't just leave this extra booze hanging out.
I ran from one side of the room to the other all night long.
Hugging people, saying thank you, making conversation, catching up with people, it was exhausting.
Craig started out the Scribbler set with an acoustic song thats on their noise cd.
I announced a beard contest, I have a weird obsession what can I say.
I think the votes went something like Eben - 3, Toby - 1, Beardo - 3857389573, Troy - 2, Stephen - 2, and DMC - 1.
Let me explain what happened and why Stephen ended up winning.
That sly bastard tried to drop a 100$ donation in the money box without being noticed.
Ofcourse it was immediately brought to my attention, and I proceeded to tell every single person in the bar.
I hugged Stephen so many times, and when it came time to announce the winner, Stephen won based on me being to overwhelmed with his generosity.
There was an outburst, and people started chanting 'Beardo'.
What an awesome night.
Jeff Coll 5 played next, their set always makes me smile, and dance my face off.
That last song is deadly.. 'oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no".
The Grass got on stage after that.
I have a hard time believing everybody stayed on schedule.
They dedicated Fortunate Son by CCR to me, they do an awesome cover of that song.
The Moth shortly after, who rocked it out hard.
The night was nearing an end and Gilbert Switzer was up next.
I gave a thank you speech that I don't quite remember, its on video though.
*thumbs up*
I also screamed 'craaaazywave' before they got on stage.
Whew.
Anyways their set was ridiculous, I danced so much.
I tried to Ride the Pink Tiger too because it just seemed worth while. ( I can't believe its not wild )
Ed was not a willing participant however.
Things wrapped up quite nicely and I made 750$!!!
Derrick gave me and Meghan a ride to my house.
Nathan, Mike D, Josh and Ed hung out for most of the night.
At 4 in the morning we all crashed.
Mike D set my alarm clock for 8 45 and couldn't figure out the mechanics to shut it off.
So at 9 I gathered the troops and we went for Vienna breakfast.
Everybody except for me and Alex Currie seem to fucking hate their breakfast.
I think its good.
We went to MusicStop and played with all the instruments.
Meghan decided to buy a 900$ beautiful guitar.
She looked really happy about it, smile was stuck on her face.
I bought a winter jacket, well my dad bought me a winter jacket.
I think its the first good winter jacket I've owned since grade 10.
The day continued at my house where the boys talked about celebrity dinners and 'I can't take it'.
I called my mother some time between leaving show and morning.
Finally it was time to take my hung over self to work.
I got lots of work visits which is always appreciated.
Troy came and had supper with me.
I took the longest break ever, no more 100% work effort out of this girl.
When Troy took off towards the bank, Amy showed up when I was midway finishing my smoke.
She bought a me a strawberry sunday it was wicked.
Finally Nathalie showed up too, I love when my friends visit me.
Time goes by faster and I don't feel like killing myself.
This particular co-worker spends her time talking about smoking pot although shes pregnat, drinking at our staff party, 50cent, gang fights, and other ridiculous shit I don't care about.
She does everything in super slow speed usually sitting in a chair.
Are you kidding me?
Todi let me leave early, and I headed down to Gus's Pub.
I just missed Scribbler's set.
The Tragedies, HotShotEpworthBot, and Spincycle Squre played.
I was in a terrible mood, I can't do the sober bar thing.
I feel like punching everyone in the face.
Adrian and New Wave walked home with me.
I talked to Meghan on the computer forever.
That girl is awesome and makes me smile.
She says super nice things and none of it comes off as fake.
She brings out my loudness.
I like it.
Friday, I woke up and had a lunch date with Blanchard.
We went to the Dairy Deli and talked about his mice.
I went to visit Leah for a minute.
I went to Frenchy's and found a mother fucking toaster!
Oh man.. I'm going nuts with the toasting now, WATCH OUT NOW.
Ed and I had a major snowball fight on the front porch.
Robe came over here to drop off a small Casio keyboard for Anika and a donation.
He stuck around for a bit.
Stephen, Jenna and company showed up and we headed to Julia's.
I stuck around for a bit but the call of a Fortunate Song cover was too much.
I dragged my possee to Blanchard's, and danced like a crazy lady.
I did numerous stupid things not worth talking about.
I also decided I'm done drinking for a little bit.
A few months ago I made that same decision but different problems arose and squashed it.
It was for wrong reason that I decided to cut down.
This time it'll be for me and not anyone else.
I got told I mix my drinks like a man.
Wonderful.
I met the people who are putting my face on a pin.
This is going to be wicked, my face on a 100 pins.
Everybody I give one to better sport that shit proudly.
Right so, I left the party around 3 30 in the morning and we went back to Julia's.
Jenna's brother smoked some hash with me it was wicked.
I went home and passed out, screw nachos.
Alex, Nathalie, Adrian, myself and Stephen went on a used clothing adventure.
First Value Village where I bought the following tapes.
Nothin' But the Hits (feature, You Spin Me Right)
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
ABBA - The Magic of ABBA
Nat King Cole - The best of
Tina Turner - Private Dancer
Madonna - True Blue
My kitchen is now a classic dance party.
Meghan still has my Gilbert Switzer tape, I need that back.
It was perfect for making food in the kitchen.
We hit up Taco Bell afterwards.
Final destination, Frenchy's.
I went to work, which was extremely boring.
I got to leave early.
I went to Leah's for a bit.
Went to get Adrian, Jenna came over, we went to Godwin's.
I got people to play me some songs on the piano.
Adrian and I made a dirt bag meal, Kraft Dinner, Dante Rice and potatoes.
He went home and I passed out.
That bout brings us up to date.
EXCEPT.
My extended family is insane.
Denis' mother is selfish and refused to keep Anika's cat on the grounds that it 'smells'.
So Moose has been given to another home, they want to change his name, which is ridiculous.
Also fucking Christmas drama, who spends what where and with who and how much time.
WHO CARES! Insignificant bullshit.
