yikes...drunk posts are funny. =)

i am sorry i did not make it to such interesting festivities, but it looks like you guys drank enough for both rodel and myself. =) reading through, i'm not quite sure of what debauchery took place and perhaps i do not want to know.

since i am awake and sober, i will talk about the concerts... =)

12/2 - tolcher, avion, & everclear => BRILLIANT!! lisa and i had such fun...tolcher was up first and he was great as always. he completely won the crowd over...lisa and i were right near the stage, about 2nd row standing. we went out to meet him after his set...he commented on how lisa's scarf was around his neck in the their picture and he commented to me about remembering my name from an email. 2 lovely moments in time. anyways, after we met him we hung out outside during avion's set. michael and the band were hanging out there too...drinking and talking to the ladies. hehe...that william - just weird seeing him hit on girls now. avion was pretty good but we were not inside for them...and then everclear came on. they were great...didn't recognize the majority of stuff, but still good. at the end of their set, lisa and i went out to look at merch...they were giving away a free everclear cd [that we of course took] and lisa went to buy a tolcher shirt. the merch girls for tolcher were super nice and they gave us after show passes!! w00t. we were hanging out to do the after show thing and tolcher came out again...he saw us and came over to converse for a while. lisa was a bit tipsy at this point and started bopping around...at which point, tolcher did as well. he seemed pretty tired and excused himself after chatting with us for a while...giving us a hug before leaving. lisa met avion and then we went inside to meet everclear. although not the hugest fans, i still like them. we met the entire band and they were just so great. they all signed and talked to us for a while... =)

12/3 - the golden republic & sondre lerche => LOVELY!! we were a bit late...but that's ok cuz the golden republic was a bit late as well. =) i liked them...they were pretty good and we bought their EP after the show...they were super nice. =) then it was sondre...the last time we saw him, it was w/ band but this time it was mainly solo. i think he is just so lovely and endearing on the stage. he makes such funny comments without really trying to be funny...i.e. the sondre lerche choir and non-leann rhimes song...hehe. the canes was quite nice...small and laid back - i think san diego venues are like that in general. we were right next to the stage...next to little asian punk. sondre's music is melodic and not of the type to rock until bloodshed...but apparently little asian punk doesn't know this. i was quite fearful when he started headbanging in the set...but if he did hit me, he would get a swift punch to the face!! =) we met sondre afterwards and he was very nice. we took our pictures with him and from there it was a long drive home...thanks lisa for driving especially when you barely had any sleep!

and so the short concert extravaganza ends....still sad that i will not see howie day @ the roxy monday...nor will i go to the kimmel taping of mayer next week either. but for now this shall be good... =)

i can't believe i'm awake right now...i woke up at 8:30 on a sunday - unheard of for me! i guess that means i'm at least resting if not *partying* well, i shall talk to you all soon...if not today. =) bye for now
