wow.... what a weekend

So I'm sitting here at work Monday morning thinking back about my weekend, I'm absolutely exhausted and should still be asleep. Our weekend was great we got to see alot of music over the past couple of days. Friday night we went to see Freekbass at the Mousetrap in Broad Ripple, I love this band. We always have so much fun when we see them. The remind me alot of Les Claypool. We hung out with their manager quite a bit Friday. It was interesting talking to him, it ends up that he also manages Bootsie Collins which I wasn't real sure who that was until Dave refreshed my memory. Friends of ours, Rhonda and Pete came and seen the band also. At around midnight we had to leave there and go to Spin in Broad Ripple (the old Patio) a friend of ours Derrick Howard was playing there and awhile back he had this contest on Myspace and I had won his cd. So he was really wanting me to check out his new band, they call theirselves Samesoul. It was pretty good. They did quite a bit of covers which is always fun. But honestly I really think I enjoyed Derrick better when he played solo though. He was sorta like a small Keller Williams. I am happy for him that he's got a band and playing gigs though. And I'm sure that with time they will get to be really good and popular. While at the Spin we did run into Kegan and Danni. That was nice cuz I've never really talked to them a whole lot even though we are fellow Hookahheads and I'm sure we've all camped beside each other not to mention the numerous shows we've attended.
So after all that fun on friday, I pretty much took it easy Saturday, me and Dave cleaned house and did laundry and tended to the kids. Aerial had to work, she is doing great with her job, it's now been a couple of months and she is starting to save up money for a car. My life will be so much easier when she has a car and can take herself back and forth to work. She had decided that for christmas she just wants me to take the money I would be spending on christmas for her and get her a car with what she's got saved and christmas money together. So I think that is a great idea and that's what I'll do. I'd like to have it by christmas and put a great big huge bow around it. Ryanne is busy as ever. She has this awesome school spirit, doesn't miss a game and loves her cheerleading, she has a competition coming up this Saturday I'm really excited about that she is getting really good.
We also went and got our costumes for friday night, big costume party, I'm so excited I love Halloween.
Anyway on Saturday night me and Dave just rented a couple of movies and stayed in, knowing that Sunday was the big Widespread Panic concert we'd been anticipating for a couple of months.
I loved it, I barely sat down the whole night last night. Our seats were in the balcony right in the center at the Murat. They turned out to be really good seats. A couple of friends showed up there to. Angela and Sara, Julie and Bob, Tom and Ann just to name a few, I love running into people we know. Jimmy Herring was awesome as was the whole band. I reconized nearly every song but I did have a hard time making out the words. They started at about 8pm and played til around 11pm. We got home last night at midnight and here I am at work, feeling like a zombie. It was well worth it.

Julie called me and asked me if I wanted to go to the Widespread show with her. I wish I wouldn't have turned her down now.....I didn't know you were gonna be there!!!!

I really was exhausted though because we saw two shows in Chicago this weekend. We saw WEEN Saturday at 8:00 and Amandla at 12:00. We got back to the hotel where we had seven people staying, and ordered pizza and staye dup until about 6:00 in the morning.

I also pulled a muscle in my back thursday night, so I kinda felt like crap anyway.

Then we had plans to eat with Ryan's parents when we got back into town Sunday night......I am still tired!!!!

Less than a month for our next Hookah run!!!!!

I can't wait to see you guys this weekend at the Halloween party!!! we're gonna have so much fun. What time do you guys think you'll be in town???

Yeah I understand being tired, it was about 2am when we got to bed and I had to get up and go to work Monday morning, I was exhausted. I hope you get some rest and your back is feeling better by Friday. I can't wait. See you soon!
