Wild Weekend

first i want to thank my job for observing Presidents day.  after the weekend i had, i need tomorrow off.

Well, Robyn was friday night. I told myself after turning 28 that i really need to stop going to concerts and drinking myself into oblivion before the show is over, so that i can recall the events and memories and of course the act.   Well, for some reason i was way to excited....i forgot about that personal pact i made with myself.   We met a wonderful bartender Tiffany at the Gilleys sports bar, the concert was in the Southside Music Hall.  We met two amazing women from Keller who ended up being our concert buddies, though i imagine by the time the concert was done they were wondering what the hell was up with our drunk asses. haha. bless their patient souls.

We had a room over off 183 at the Renissance Hotel. very nice.   So Richard and I got all gullied up and made way (sorry for the backtrack) Tiffany was kind enough to walk us to the venue after finally closing our tab. Robyn killed it. I didn't expect anything less. i could have done without Natalia Kills and Diamond Rings though they were entertaining.  I would have rathered Robyn for 3 hours. :)  Alas, i don't really remember what happened afterwards, though i know it was a good time.  I do remember my good friend Kim and her sister coming out to Cedar Springs to meet us for drinks... i wish i could recall things like our conversations or what not, but i don't. i just remember they looked beautiful, we showed her sister a good time and i left richard at the bar and took a cab back to the hotel on my own...haha. I swear i don't follow drama... it follows me.

I came home in the morning, i stunk of stale puke, was in desperate need of a toothbrush and hot water with soap.... then i remembered that i promised my good friend Lucy i would come to Tulsa for the evening.  Yeah after my "shit" show of a friday night, i was going to get in the shower, and spend 5 hours in a car.  Luckily my sis wanted to come along....i knew we'd have a blast on the road, and i still had a hint of motivation. so i called her, woke her up and said lets hit the road. Jill the GPS, decided to take us up 121 N to US 75 N.....horrible decision.  I'm used to taking 35...and i should have gone with it.  However, Erika and i had a good laugh going through the small towns so i wouldn't trade it for anything. We met Lucy up in Tulsa...had to relax for a few minutes before getting the festivities going for the night.

Before i forget, Lucy is a friend of mine i met in 2006 waiting in the will call line at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show....(still one of the best i've ever seen) She was with her friend Farah, they no longer speak, i don't speak to her either.... but anyway, Lucy was living in OKC, Farah in Dallas. They were best friends and we all got along great for the short time we all hung out together....but all good things come to end, and so didn't this...hahahah. Back to Lucy, so while waiting in line, i asked Lucy and Farah if they had ever seen YYY's in concert before. Lucy was appalled and didn't really want to talk to us...i guess she didn't realize that i did not want to bark up her tree...EVER :) needless to say, we walked in together, took a few shots of whiskey and got up as close as possible to Karen O that we could.  From that night on, we've been great friends... i love being around her and she's a blast to be with. 

So back to Tulsa....she took us out last night (which i'm not sure how i survived) all night i was feeling like i really should have been dead after the previous nights antics....which i did without the responsibilty of Chris. I'll bring chris into this soon enough... he deserves a formal introduction.  We got all dressed up and met her friends Nicole, Robin, Angela and Nathan out at a bar called Junkie to which we left to go to Renegade, then Electric Circus and then Fassler Hall (sp...) which was the best of them all because it was a mini Germany in an old Garage which great live music and lots of good beer.  Needless to say, another "mild night" turned into a 4:40 am morning, as me Lucy, Nathan and Erika stayed up at lucys talking and drinking wine when we got home and fell asleep only to wake up and leave by 9:00 so i could get Erika back to Fort Worth in time for work at 4:00.  we made it back by 2:30 and i've done nothing since...well, i did eat Mellow Mushroom for lunch... i will go back tomorrow into a tad bit more details, but i just wanted you to know about my weekend....thrilling isn't it?

Stay Tuned.... oh and there will be pictures ;)
