my take on events this weekend
ok, i had a FUN AWESOME time meeting you GTA'ers and other peeps too.
Friday. i landed at 7 pm then had to get my bags, go through customs an say why i'm there, blah blah, an get canadian moolah, then get to to the hotel and check in. didn't get there until around 8:30 PM. then off to the st james gate by like 9:20 where i was greeted by familiar faces and new ones too. october, u guys rocked.... i missed your first songs, what were they cuz i wonder. gabriel you know how to move! james an the rest of the band, awesome effort to playing that awesome gig! i just stayed and danced with tanya(who i knew from interf chat a year ago), steph, kelly, enza, barb, michele, an lisa! kim was just sittin the whole time, lol. was cool to meet u, john (u2soar). i didn't go to see the rattle and hum because i had already seen it on the big screen and i was already gettin into the ladies, the beer, and of course the the band! cool set guys. then it was time to get back to the hotel with tanya, candi, angela in a shared cab, thanks. an comin from arizona an seattle originally, boy was it DAMN COLD, 30 degrees... windchill making it worse. luckily i had my nice heavy leather coat.
Friday late in hotel elevator: i get in elevator with 4 chicks and i mentioned that 'hey weren't u at the october show?'. they said yeah an i said 'what a good show it was'. an then i think one said 'what about exit' or something. an i asked em 'are you EXIT?'. They said yes. an i'm like 'holy shit' i was speechless, couldn't talk because i had heard a lot about them.. sorry if i sounded like a idiot, lol. then i skipped my floor to talk a little then said good night as they left the elevator. what a moment with exit in the elevator! then off to bed.
Saturday part one. wake up at 11 AM an shower. met tanya for the cab ride to the slane screening! let me say, thank you brady and universal for showing the dvd! awesome show, blows boston outta the water! met van diemans land, the infamous jeff and arun duo. soo cool to see everyone rocking out to the best band. after the screening i won two boots, the ultimate 7 and 12 inch collection parts 5 and 6 boots, thru the trivia. thanks guys. then i went to a mall shopping with lisa, gary, arun, char, jeff, april, jess, an paul. women are picky about their sweaters. heh. then walked more an we had munchies/coffee at timothys. then back to the hotel.
