nakedwesley might think, I *did not* shout anything at Adam. I just made the mistake of saying something I shouldn't have loud enough for Adam to hear it. But more about that later.
Today was incredibly busy, but in a good way. Between work, Weight Watchers, going to my mom's for dinner, Curves, and Bible Study, I was home for less than an hour from the time I left around 8:40am to the time I got home at 10pm. And that was mostly to change the bags of stuff that I needed and to get a quick shower. Then I relaxed while watching "Queer Eye".
But I did have a good time over the weekend withnakedwesley and eatstake. On Saturday nakedwesley came up and we went up to Bryn Mawr to see Common Ro play at The Point. Since we got up there uberearly, we decided to duck in the nearby Barnes and Noble while we waited for the doors to open. When we returned a half hour later (still *an* hour before the show), there was a long line outside. But we were luck enough to still get good seats on one side of the stage in some comfy chairs and eatstake got a couch. But the show was good and lots of fun - as always. And it was good seeing eatstake again.
So, the part about me not actually shouting at Adam - he had adjusted his microphone stand for his toy accordian for a song and the stand got stuck, so I blurted out, "What'd you do?" which, since we were - likenakedwesley said, 6 inches from the stage, Adam looks at me and he's like, "what?" and that's when my mind goes blank (figures, right?) and some of the people near us start laughing. And then he starts running with it and saying stuff like, "Mo-om! Mo-om! Stop it, Mom! I can do it myself! I'm trying to play with my band!" - to which everyone was laughing. Then he and Eric look at the set list and realize that the song they had been setting up for actually *wasn't* the next one on the list, so Adam had to readjust his mic stand - which worked fine. And then after the song, as they were getting ready for the song that had started it, Eric make a crack about the whole thing. One of these days, I'll learn to keep my mouth shut.
There was a gay couple sitting on the couch on the other side of the stage from us and they were really cute. During Common Ro's set, they held hands and one guy would periodically put his head on the other guy's shoulder. But during Griffin House's performance, they started cuddling. I hope this isn't the last time we'll see something like that. Andeatstake and I were joking about this one couple sitting at a table on the opposite corner of the stage from us (near the gay couple). During Common Ro's set it looked, from their expressions, that they had earlier in the evening had a conversation that might've gone something like this:
Man: "Dear, let's go out and enjoy some local culture tonight."
Woman: "Dah-ling, what a *wonderful* idea. Do you have something in mind?"
Man: "Well, I heard that an indie folk-rock trio is playing down at The Point."
Woman: "Excellent."
But they were obviously there for the other band - who I'd never heard of, but were a really good band, aside from the two non-lead singers being a bit hyper and not being able to play the same instrument on more than one consecutive song, asnakedwesley and I decided.
Thennakedwesley and I went to a living room show down here in Newark on Sunday. Same place as back in November, but at least this time we got good seats literally down in front. Afterwards we met this really nice girl who's a huge fan of Adam, but didn't actually get a chance to meet him. I tried to stop him to introduce them, but it didn't work and then she disappeared.
And it's kind of weird/cool to be recognized as a groupie by the guys.
