and I won't lie. I just wanna go home. I just wanna go home...

Yes people, amazingly just hours before BW I could get around in a normal shoe. I am happy this happened because I already make enough a spectacle of myself day to day, I don't need a surgical device to help me.I have to thank Liz for arranging for me to get some special attention directed at my foot in the bar in Boston. That was very sweet of her and although I was embarrassed at first I now giggle every time I think of it. I also met some really cool people from Damone, Ok Go, Rocket and of course the LGOT's (whom I never get a chance to say hey to). Everyone was lots of fun in Boston at the bar. Karaoke really puts people in a colorful and revealing mood. Apparently we all love the Spice Girls...well at least for at least two minutes in time.

They have a train that runs right down the street long side traffic. i didn't know that! That's f**king crazy. Yet....

I recoil. Jebus. Pennsylvania chewed me up and spit me out.To make a VERY long story short the weekend was a tad bit more adventurous then we had all planned for. We did however have gremlins (a mix of every soda and ade in the eatery) and vodka...which i named "Spikes". My dad would be proud of me drinking on the street like a real class-A hoochie woman. I also had a unnamed shot (barkeep wouldn't tell, that's sorta scary now) of alcohol in the bar with Jessica that tasted like what the beach smells like. It was lovely.There was a slight change of plans but the BW show in Philadelphia was awesome and amongst one of the best I have yet to see. Pink made an appearance for "Song Without.." which was a thrill (one of my favs). The bar we went to after the show was pretty cool, and the scenery was terrific, and I was happy as a clam. And clammy as well.

Next morning was filled with awful dread as we made our 300 mile journey to Pittsburgh. Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? It certainly took me by surprise. I have never been to such a place - the sights, the bridges, the peace officers. 2 minutes into our arrival I was scared to all heck - praying to whoever was still paying attention that I got out of this town alive.This show was in a converted church. BW fans in Pittsburgh are pretty intense, and I never saw it coming, but the crowd and the show was so full of energy and passion that it made the trip worthwhile. I did not get to spend much time around the master of ceremonies but I did get to say "goodbye and thank you". The photos are a little "smokey".

Mostly I am really happy about the great people I got to hang with and for Liz, Jessica and Tracey making it all bearable even under really icker conditions. I am glad everyone is home safe and sound and all is well in the world (well, not really at all...but sorta) Fact is, I almost didn't make it with my busted foot and all so the whole thing was sort of a miracle for me to begin with. My highlights also include the 1st album cuts and the Marvie songs. It is never disappointing and Butch Walker is a legendary performer.

NY is tomorrow. Will see what, if anything at all in my broken state, that will bring.

off to see the wizard

going to oz or the circus for the day or two.
yay!

damn it

i wish i was in atlanta.
wah.

thank you note

It's almost Thanksgiving day, and I have tons to be thankful for. Like that I totally kicked school's ass and got two A's. It's official. I have my 1st degree!

This is my Thanksgiving Thank You list:

I would like to thank my roommate. She just gave me some wine and asked me to test taste her creamed spinach. She is dressed like she just stepped out of an asylum(toe socks - you know the socks that look like gloves and a mets headscarf, I think.) I love coming home to her on days like this. We are both in good moods. And will be watching Dexter on bootleg in like 10 minutes.

See my roommate and I have much in common we came full circle. We've also lived together so long that our friendship has changed (but not in a bad way - just as in "I already know all your business, so what should we talk about" sorta way) Now we have Dexter. A new bond over serial killers, alcohol and food has unraveled before our very eyes. I owe her a ton for the past year and change. She really didn't have to put up with me and she did. I won't take back what I said about her choice of evening wear tonite, but I love her.

And lastly:

You didn't think I would forget this guy, did you? TMR41H!
