It started with my mandatory reporting for Jury Duty. When I got the original jury summons last October, I had to have it rescheduled because of Cassie and Mark's wedding. The rescheduled date wasn't a problem until we had to reschedule a mandatory software training at work in January. I reported for that date but I informed the staff that I had mandatory training at work but I showed up because of the reschedule. They told me I could reschedule again but I HAD to report or else! Just kidding - but I really did have to report or else I would've been in trouble (apparently).
Lo and behold - my jury duty was scheduled the same day as Wavves! So I made a day of it in the city.
I had anticipated being at the courthouse all day but I was luckily let go at lunch time so I rolled around Atlanta - stopping at Cameli's for pizza, killing time at UO (getting a wardrobe update for that night and good thing I did because it was hot!) and meeting up with Michael for some coffee talk
And then it came time to hang until showtime. I settled in to the parking lot of Book House until they opened (getting my eyebrows wrangled next door) and once the doors opened, I planted myself at the bar and had a few dark and stormies. Lauren was kind enough to meet me once she got off work and I entertained myself by talking to this guy who had his California driver's license on the bar. I asked him where in Cali he was from and he told me that he was actually from Hawaii and we started talking about island living and all that fun stuff and I honestly had no idea it was the lead singer of FIDLAR that I was talking to. WHAT
So - that was crazy. FIDLAR was AMAZING. So were the Cheatahs. I wish I had more cash so I could've bought CDs from each but I spent most of my cash on booze and some Wavves goodies.
Wavves was INCREDIBLE. The energy was so much better than last time, I have to admit. Last time was awesome, don't get me wrong but this time was even more awesome because this happened
I was able to get way better photos than last time (despite having to crop out some guy's ridiculously large and obtrusive afro - which you can see here) and overall, it was just fucking awesome!! I mean, we all know how much I LOVE Afraid of Heights and experiencing those songs live was pretty amazing.
I also ran into my most FAVE BLOGGER EVER - Matt T. He let me know they were hitting up the Clermont - which you can read about here. I kinda wish I had stayed but I was really exhausted since I got up so freakin early for jury duty...All in all, it was a great fucking night! Thanks Wavves, FIDLAR and Cheatahs! You guys were great!
