SOLID ROCK!!
screamed crissandra & galine, influenced by a group of the friendlest scottish/english men you'd ever meet.
last night was better than we ever thought it'd be, and now, as promised to crissandra, i shall outline the entire night of (insane!) events. put in point form so as not to scare everyone, there is far to much to write of, to remember, and putting this all into words could never replace what was a crazy crazy night! but here i go (crissy, please add in:) :
+ met up downtown, at lettieri. mean girls. good conversation, laughter, realization that we were both wired on caffeine and lack of sleep, knowing that the night would be fun (boy did we not know what we'd be getting into!). von called, was meeting up with us @ 11pm *high five!*
+ as soon as we entered
the horseshoe and went to the bar to ask for tickets, we were approached by a rambling, drunk, scottsman named
Ian who, at first, we both thought
great fake accent!. he said him & his friends had been drinking since their flight left from scotland (7am?), drank the airplane out of booze, and were now downtown drinking because they wanted to fall asleep at 2am our time so that they could wake up and fall into some sort of pattern.
+
crissandra HAS TO fill in this part, the 'language barriers'. it was far too funny, and her that experienced it, so i'll leave this part up to her!
+
Grant, another guy w. Ian, came to talk to me. He was absolutely adorable, and coherently told me that they were here for a BMX show for the week, and own a clothing company called
pretty heavy.
CHRISTINA YOU'LL LOVE THIS PART! ok so i freaked! we started talking about music & i asked him he must know of
arab strap since they were from glasgow. he not only knows
of them, but chills with them! we were talking of how aidans voice is absolutely brilliant, and we went on and on about it (don't want to bore anyone;)
+ enter
Steve, or
ste as he said it was?! he entered the arab strap conversation, telling me about the vday party that just passed where aidan was spinning (my mouth had dropped by this point, because i was just reading about it on the arab strab site) crissy and i later agreed that he reminded us of
matthew lillard holy freakin plus!!!!!!
+so we finally got into where the bands were performing, and our group of scots decided to join for the night. ste was joking of how ian had leeched on to crissandra, we couldn't stop laughing, and at one point crissandra and i were LOUDER than they were. oh, yeah, so they were so piss drunk they were hollering to the bands on stage. Grant commented on how in Scotland they all lived to have a good time, and we discussed how TO was just too stuck up.;)
+second band had invited their 'friends' to join onstage. on walk Ian and Grant. The singer was all "okay, i don't know who you guys are...but sure!". at the end of the set, who was left on stage? our new found friends. they started singing. hahahhahah this was hilarious.
+crissy had pictures left in her camera, so we took some shots. but instead, mike took over, took 2 shots of crissy from really funny angles, one of her head turned away, one of me laughing or in some weird movement, but one great one (i hope!) of crissy, ste, myself and grant.
+oh yes, so there was a fourth guy named
Mike. he was from England, and was the rep' of the company there. (wow). very nice guy, although we thought him to be a little intimidating at a glance. he left early because he was passing in and out of consiousness!
+matt barber came on, crissy was thrilled, he looks and sings like a doll, Grant broke a glass, we danced, he drank out of the pitcher, I can't remember what else because it seemed the night was more based on laughing and having fun than the music. although we danced a bit and laughed and really enjoyed alllllll the musicians who took part in the night (whom i'll figure out who they were later!) the first band was absolutely brilliant, although the songs sounded better when the singer was on keyboard instead of guitar. a wee stuck up too.
so it was a brilliant night.
such great people, and i believe that's the way outings should be. we should be able to just talk to people and enjoy ourselves.
i think they influenced us cos when von and i went to the washroom, we told some guy he was pretty and we liked his scarf. then i ran away, leaving von to laugh (hahahhaha sorry von bondie!)
i know i'm leaving so much out,
but i'm so tired & my bones ache & i am in dire need of more sleep but can't seem to get to bed.
crissy, please post some more:D
thanks for the great night, and if you're up for something today, i'm downnn sista!!!!!
love love and more love,
you rock my *imaginaaaaaaaaaation* (insert rainbow!)
TWIN!
