Tonite was so fun. I hit BAM, then even had a little time to do some grocery shopping, drop them off at home, check email & then head out again.

I met Kat over at The Makeout Room… I was looking forward to seeing The Red Thread there – and after chatting briefly on IM today, I found out she just happened to be meeting someone there, too. yay! Always so good to see that sweet kitty :) mm!

Sarah even stopped by to say hi for a quick sec, which was fun. Makes me feel like we live in a small town when your friends can just swing by and say hello. (We all live in the same general neighborhood).

I saw Jake there tonite – and Deb (aka Daz) from Playing in Fog. Oh & I met that guy, Dan I’ve heard Ajaxx talk about.

And ya can’t forget Fuzzy Ruzxzzsx! I secretly think he’s cute. I mean really, he’s a drummer – and he has a fro. Hello Heartthrob! But he seems kinda nervous when I say hi to him. Which somehow I secretly even think makes him cuter. Don’t tell him, promise? I try to make conversation, and then he’s funny without trying, kinda like Bill Murray… but cuter cuz he’s got that dreamy hair. Shit, that whole cute nervous thing is probably the same ingredient that makes his hair so fuzzy fantastic. I love it all.

Ajaxx, seriously, DONT TELL HIM I SAID THAT!! It’s very important that this stays between you & me, got it? I don’t just go off & tell the whole world these intimate feelings, so keep it to yourself, alright? :) thanks.

Speaking of boys who are cute… the lead singer from Red Thread is cute. I wanted to tell him that, but I’m too shy. Ya, really – me? shy? Well, yes. Probably more because I’ve learned to not be such an effusive FLIRT and instead I bite my tongue and act all polite. Dumb, huh? Well, because this is my very own blog I’m gonna spill it here:

“Hey, your set was really great… I have some feedback for you.” I say…

“Oh, thanks! Feedback? Sure…. shoot.” (but he’d probably say it cooler – and for the record, I’m sure the whole exchange wouldn’t sound so thought out and forced.)

“I just wanted to say that I thought you guys were great… and you’re really cute!”

And he’d probably blush and say thank you… and then I would say (just to be sure my intentions were clear of course cuz so many guys take my natural complimentative statements the wrong way!), “Well, I just thought I’d give you some feedback. BYE!”

Ya, that sounds dorky… I know. Hence why it’s always better to just SAY IT!!! Then I wouldn’t seem dorky now, he woulda left feeling all warm and fuzzy – I woulda said what I was truly feeling – which is what LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!!!!!

“what?”

EXPRESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

:::::::::::::::::

Alright. I had more to say – but I have to hit the sack, cuz it’s another early risin’ day of goin to the gym – aww yaaa!!! Let me be the beacon of hope & inspiration for you all when I say: WORKOUT!! It’s a frickin mental health pill and I *guarantee* it’ll make you feel great.

Night ya’ll.

p.s. I just realized “some show reviewer I am!!”

YES the Red Thread was *GREAT*. I’m waaaay psyched to get their stuff. And no, NOT just cuz I had “positive, uplifting compliments” to give the adorable Jason Schwartzman-ish (but cuter) lead singer.

Swell played after them – who I think I had some serious fans there. I wish I’d heard some of their stuff before going. I thought they were good – but I think I was nearing my bedtime and I’d sorta been there for Red Thread, etc… so I put it on the “get some of their stuff & evaluate it later” list.

There. There’s my big fat review – HAPPY!?

bed-e-bye now.

:::::::::

p.s.s. turns out my friend (and coeditor at BAM) Jake knows the chic from Young People who are opening for the Liars! No WAY! What’s cool about this is that Jake might join us for the Liars show. woohoo! I sure hope so, cuz that boy needs to come to more shows with us. :)
