Wow, what a weekend, words and pictures (coming later) cannot do it justice. After the meet and greet with NIN I came home, got changed and ready to go out! A shot a sake to set the mood and away we went! We, got to the venue just in time, to get in, get a drink, find a space near the sound board and BOOM, they were up.
The show was very energetic with a minor sound glitch half way through, but Trent was really fit and ready to play. The new songs sounded good, but nothing still beats Pretty Hate Machine. The last song was Head Like A Hole, no encore and lights on! But, then the head of the T-Shirts came up to me and said, “you know Bobby?” and I am like “ummm yes?” And so he handed me a pass for the after-show with the band in the Cotton Club, I asked for one more, and gave it to Greg and then ran into my friend Barbie! All her friends were going and she had no pass, so I wrangled her one too. It was so great to see her and hug and be friends and put behind us the bad rumors about hating each other.
So down to the CC we went and hung out, only some of the band made it and so another drink was inhaled and off to The Future. I must pause now, and remark I was getting very drunk, oops very very drunk.
The Future was fun, more drinks – spanking some girl, getting a balloon tied to my wrist cuffs, dancing, playing with a bubble gun – I want one – bouncing around. at some point I realized no-one could understand a word I said, and the only reason they did was Greg was translating…..Next up was Ally Cats and more drinks and Doug and Whitney and then exhaustion was setting in. Back to The Future and dancing then home. Whew!
Chocolate milk and cheese and Marmite toast then bed!
Up up up the next morning to go to brunch – still drunk! I definitely think I should not mix, Sake, Vodka(from hip flask), Vodka tonics, Contreau, Rum and whatever else at the same time, head felt funny. But, brunch was fun, my sister, her boy, teka who snagged a table for us all, mdaniel, tinkerboo, tirnanogorbust thank you for my brunch, and late Greg. Yummy mimosas, and crab cakes.
Then a little light shopping and searching for magnetic paper, and a new paper journal, then a fabu dinner at Fago De Chao, and then exhaustion and bed!
I was really spoilt by all and got fabulous presents:
- Waffle Maker, double salted liquirice, sweetie pies from Greg
- Tablet, giant Mutts Book, perfume, DVDs (Spirited Away, Ghost in the Shell, Nausica)from mdaniel
- Bottle of sake and hair cut from sister
- Bottle of Sake from sister’s boy
- Mutts postcards from Hello_Robot
- Bottle of chocolate liquer from work
- Huge bouquet of flowers and balloons from Daddy!
I felt really special and spoilt. Lots of texts and happy thoughts.
