follow up, part 1.

the band has come and gone. they were fabulous gents. gracious and left us a cd as a thank you present!
i had to get up early to get to work so i was already showered, dressed and eating breakfast in my kitchen by 6:30 when i hear an unfamiliar scratchy-from-sleep boy voice say, "can i get a glass of water?" i turn around to find a band boy standing in his boxer briefs asking for my help to quench his thirst. those of you who know me personally know that i am real awkward, especially around people who are just shy of naked. i fumbled around trying to get him a glass of h2o while avoiding looking directly at him. i got him his water and then bolted back into the safety of my bedroom to finish getting ready.
i'll keep you posted on how the rest of the week pans out!

a week to look forward to will be a week to remember.

this week is going to be big. i'm real excited for it.
tuesday night: some random band is staying at our house. apparently they are kind of a big deal. i won't be able to catch the show due to work but i can certainly help play hostess with the roommates once they get here. i don't really cook and i'm kind of awkward at conversing with people i've never met before so i'm probably not a great hostess but whatevs. always fun to meet boys in bands! haha, just kidding, it's a ministry. really, it is!
thursday night: abandon kansas, swimming with dolphins, mike mains and the branches! this show is going to be killer. and a bunch of people i know and love are going as well so it's going to be like one big party. a big party with some of the best live music i've ever seen. and never seen (since this will be the first time i've seen swimming with dolphins play). please pray for me that night. pray i don't say something stupid to austin because even though i know we will never get married and adopt children together i still don't want to look like an idiot.
friday night: homegirl is co-hosting crown's spring banquet/reelie film festival with my radio counterpart. i get to wear pretty dresses (5 to be exact), be all dolled up, and pretend i'm hosting the oscars (move over anne hathaway). after the hosting gig is over i'm hightailing it over to a quaint little coffee shop to listen to my friend sing -remember the boy who sounds just like jon foreman? yeah, it's him. it's going to be a fabulously long day, glad i already took the day off of work! yeah, i've got my priorities straight.
this is one of those weeks that makes me love the life i live.

this is my confession.

there is a boy who sounds like jon foreman.
i would marry him for his voice.
and lyrical content.
it's not jon foreman...it's someone else.
he shall remain nameless.
i hope he reads this and knows it's him.
and knows just how talented he is.

i bid thee farewell.

one of my favorite clubs just had to move out of their current location. i was privileged enough to be able to judge the final battle of the bands night that was being held at the club the day before they moved out. i felt like an american idol judge (and i would pick to be ellen cause paula was crazy, kara liked the sound of her own voice way too much, and j-lo is such a diva). there were many things that made the night at the club fantastic, here are the highlights:

• a couple of really incredible bands
• free jimmy john's
• getting one last chance to be in the place that deepened my love for live shows
• feeling legit- my scores were the same as the judge from universal records
• hanging out with quality people

while the ministry of the club isn't over, i'm sure gonna miss the 5th st locale.
