Warm Up W/Bicardi 151!
Howie Day show last night!!
Made it over to Katie and Tony's apartment in record time. Then we left for the show at about 3:40. We got to the quest at 4:30 and sat in line until 6:20 when the doors opened.
When we got inside we had Tony go directly towards the stage to get us a good spot, he did ok, and Katie and I went over to the bar. We were so cold so we decided a shot might be a good idea. Katie had Malibu and I took a suggestion from the bar tender...Bicardi 151. It tasted as though I was drinking a household cleaner of some kind. I also had myself a beer to chase that down with.
Katie then went to coat check and to the bathroom while I stood in our spot by Tony. When she came back we stood around for what seemed like a half hour and then the show had begun. The sad part about this is that in this time I started to act as though I was drunk...I was drunk. I had only had two drinks.
Katie and I decided it was time for some more so I made my way through the crowd telling them to remember my pretty face because I would be back, i just needed some beer. I am shocked that people actually rememberd me and let me back in!
Then the show started and I was feeling pretty good. Tristan Prettman opened for Howie and she did very well. I really like her voice and style on the guitar. She played a Britney Spears cover, "Toxic" and it sounded was better than the original.
Then on came Howie. I took far to many pictures, many did not turn out because of all the movement and the delay in the digital camera. I wish I had asked how to increase the shutter speed.
Howie ended the show with She Says, the only song of his I can completley play on the guitar, and one of Katies favorites, however it was not to be this particular night. As the song was coming to an end, Howie changed into a U2 song. Katie and Tony do not care for U2 at all, so unfortunatly the concert ended on a sour note for the both of them.
We then made our way over to Green Mill in uptown because Tristan sang a song about pizza which made us all hungry for pizza. I had a beer as well and we finished off with a turtle cheese cake...nummy!!
When we got back the the apartment I felt fine to drive so I made the trip home. I continued to feel fine all the way home, until I woke up this morning. Right now I feel like I am recovering from a hard core night of drinking.
I never did run into Matt last night, although that club was packed so I could have steped on him and not have noticed. This, however does not make me sad. I think if anything I almost feel a sigh of reliefe. I mean if he was going to avoid me because he was interested in me while we were not going out just imagine what it would be like if we were going out.
