10 points to whoever can figure out the movie reference in the subject line. adr2 – you’re not allowed to compete haha.
so today was the big drive home from boston to buffalo. left around 9, made decent time. at times it felt so long but in the end it didn’t really. drove through absolute shit weather. started raining around utica, then got worse and worse and stormy, and wind, and yuck. drove right through the weather front. i can’t really complain though because we had really good luck with weather. with the exception of the insane wind in wilkes-barre, it was sunny, and beautiful, and in philly it was actually HOT. we had nice days on the exploring days, and except for the 2 long drives down to dc and home, it was rain free. dreading the weather tomorrow though. it’s going to be in the 40s with rain/snow/wind in toronto. according to the spiral email about tomorrow’s show, if i understand it right, the spiral line might actually be inside where you go between ACC and union station. which would be totally amazing. oh yeah, forgot to mention. we (well adr2 did) talked to sweeney, trent’s…body guard/security guy/runs the show man…about getting trent to do a meet and greet tomorrow. he said he had some influence and he’d try to see what he could do. amira who we met in philly and WB is coming down from michigan to use my extra ticket. she had good luck when she traveled without her boyfriend to madison, got into the aftershow party, so here’s hoping. it was our last chance, until brandi from the spiral said they’d be back january 17th for more shows, and now they’re doing 3 more club shows out in reno and northern cali again. unfortunately the same week as u2 in buffalo but i might try to get out there anyway hehe. not like i have the money or the time off work. and oh yeah…the red tour bus thing. it’s totally trent’s bus. the busses were driving up the ex-fleet center ramp, and the red bus was the only one sweeney escorted. we yelled to ask who was on the bus, and he said he didn’t know, some guy haha. sweeney is really really cool. most body guard/security people are dicks. but he is totally approchable, talks to all us crazy fans, is a really nice accomodating guy. nice to see really. and the ex-fleetcenter is really the best run venue i’ve ever been to. the guy who runs the shows there, jeff, does a fantastic job letting fans know what is going on, and how he organized the wristband thing for u2 was just fantastic. i told him that too haha.
regardless of them coming back and maybe going out west, i still almost cried on the way home today. piggy from the live cd was on, and i was just like I DONT WANT TO GO HOME and totally almost started to cry. the song choice might not make sense, but it does for me. only one more show tomorrow. only one more time suffering through dfa1979 and the queens, which is fantastic, but only one more time for seeing boy tummy, and trent bounce, and breaking shit. ok and i’ve been really good, but i gotta say it now. Trent is so fucking hot. this dj on the radio today in boston referred to him as “one hot piece of ass”. lol
