hmmm moment

i decided i should read my horoscope before heading out to the show tonight, and here's what the "quick" version said:

"Flowery words and fanciful flattery may make you do things you will regret later."

HMMM. what could this mean?? what am i going to get into tonight??

ANYWAYS. omgi'msoexcitedfortonight. I'm even more excited because Kara is coming!! She's on her way to Malden RIGHT NOW! I haven't seen a Crash Kings show with Kara since 4 February in Providence! and that's where we're going tonight, too! I've been trying and trying to get her to come to ANY show with me.

AND TOMORROW - Courtney is coming!!! I'm super excited for that too.

this was what my horoscope for YESTERDAY said,

"Some inspiring and wonderful times lie just ahead, so keep smiling, even if you feel like Eeyore right now. Take a break from stressing out, no matter how big the stress is, and let yourself wallow in something you love."

YEP. basically, it's the universe telling me, "Julie, it's okay to be taking all this time off work to go to Crash Kings concerts."

thanks, universe. but, even if it had said something like, "should you really be indulging this much?" i still would've gone.

Wow, last night was so great. Like, soooo great. It's seriously like, when you're standing in the crowd for one of their shows, NOTHING else matters. a total escape.

i really hope Tony gets out in the middle of the stage and sings again. that was cool. it's weird, because Mike is the only member who can actually walk around. Jason is behind the drums and Tony is behind the piano. so to see Tony out with the mic belting at the front of the stage was pretty freaking awesome. and it was during 2nd Rate Citizen. i think i told you that last night. YEAH. SO AWESOME.


in other news, I had a dream about Jersey Shore. now, i have never seen that show and i couldn't care less about it, so i have no idea why i am dreaming of it.

all i remember is that Snooki worked at a big fancy furniture store, that was actually empty and full of no furniture, and she threw up a lot. and the whole show actually took place up the street from my house in Maine. at the top of East Pasture road.

ANYWAYS. i'm waiting for Kara to get here. it's actually not that hot if you don't move and are sitting directly next to a fan.

I just watched the video i got last night. OH MAN. so good. i got 'Carry On,' because it's my favorite song and also the song that FIRST HOOKED me to Crash Kings. back in December when they played the Middle East. so, last night, seeing them headline the Middle East, I thought it would be sentimental to get the song on video.


ALSO. ALSO. ALSO. I don't know if I've ever talked about the roadie for Rooney, Josh. have i? hold on, i'll check.

YES. this excerpt is taken from the entry where we first saw Crash Kings when they were opening for Rooney,

"...and we're all just waiting and waiting and waiting. and the backstage door keeps opening and people keep walking in and out that are not Rooney. one of the stage managers, Josh, i recognized from a Rooney video diary. i love when that happens. like when Jenny and I saw Travis at a Phantom Planet show. that was really exciting."

so, Josh was featured in a few Rooney tour video diaries. maybe like, 2. and so last night, i'm standing next to Jo and she says,

JO: What's the name of the Crash Kings roadie?
JULIE: There's Josh, and there's Jimmy.
JO: And Josh is the one with the long hair?
JULIE: Yeah.
JO: He kind of looks like the roadie from Rooney, also named Josh. And if it's him, all I know is that he speaks French!
JULIE: (trying to think about this...trying to remember what she's talking about...) OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT. Yeah, he does speak French!!

we learned this in a Rooney tour video diary! Josh was hanging out with Robert in the tour bus.

so, after the show, Jo went up to him and asked if he was the same Josh. UM, HE IS. he so totally is.

HOW FREAKING CRAZY IS THAT!?!? the same roadie!! who i FIRST saw at The Middle East!! i seriously CAN'T BELIEVE i haven't recognized him before. he's been the roadie at Crash Kings shows SINCE APRIL. SINCE WE SAW THEM IN PENNSYLVANIA. quite frankly, i'm embarrassed.

that's 6 Crash Kings shows i've seen him at (not including last night) and never recognized him.

Actually, 5 shows. because i didn't see him in Portsmouth a few weeks ago. i know this because i remember thinking, "i bet all these problems are because Josh isn't here."

anyways, so that's super cool. it makes me think that Rooney and Crash Kings really ARE besties.

OK. kara is here now! and we're probably going to leave soon! so, have a great night!!!

TAKE CARE!!!!!!


love!
