It's taken me 2 days to write this.....

So this weekend I went to visit Jamie in CS. We went to Huntsville for the Crawfish Festival to see Wade Bowen and EYB. I had a great time...but not without a few mishaps of course. I will say that my red bull and vodka was only $3 and even cheaper the 2nd time...and Jamie's drink was only $1.25. Unheard of here in Dallas. I'm just saying. Anyway, between sets this girl from a radio station I believe came out onstage and was throwing t-shirts out into the crowd. Freakin' ugly t-shirts that said "Live at the Jolly Fox." I think Gage is trying to get rid of them or something. Anyway, one is thrown over my head, but somehow lands right by my feet. So I bend over to pick it up when this stupid 18 year old girl shoves me down and grabs the shirt and shrieks with excitement at getting it. So after I pick myself up off the ground and feel this throbbing pain in my knee because its rammed into a metal rod on the gorund that's holding up the stage, I turn around and go, it's just a Fu*king t-shirt there was no need to shove me. To which she replies, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She didn't mean to? If you raised your arms in the intent to contact my body with them, then you meant to. I was mad, but I was nice. Small town people don't get out much. Though any other time I would have punched her. haha
Anyway, fast forward to the end of the EYB set where Wade comes out on stage to sing "Come Together" with them. Mike decides he's gonna take my camera and take pictures from the stage. Well, instead Wade takes it from him and takes some really great pics! So after the show, we wait around for a little while and Phil finally gets us backstage where we run into Wade Bowen. Ok, so I've never met him and I'm here to say that he is the nicest guy I've ever met. He is my new favorite! I don't know why it's taken me so long to know that. After our goodbyes to Mike we head back to College Station. It was a fun night....BUT my knee has a bruise on it. Stupid free t-shirts and 18 year olds.

So Mom and I have been discussing a vacation this summer and I finally got her convinced that New York City is THE place we should go. haha Today I booked the flights and the hotel for June 21-27. I'm so excited. I even got center orchestra, 2nd row, 1st 2 seats for the musical "Mary Poppins." AND not to mention that Sunday, June 22nd we'll be at Yankee Stadium watching the Yanks take on Cincinnati! Woo-freakin-hoo! I'm looking so forward to this trip. This will be the longest I've ever been in NYC! My friend, Maritza, that I've known since Junior High just moved there last July and she's excited about us coming. She's going to the game with us :)

Ok, well that's all I got. The rest of the week/weekend will be a marathon of things to do....Seeing Sara on Thursday, EYB at HOB Friday, Tracey's b-day party on Saturday, and somewhere in there I've got to finish a clog routine and a baton routine for next week. Sunday's looking good for that!

Everyone have a great rest of the week!

Sorry about your knee...all over a stupid shirt.

I'm so jealous that you are going to NYC and that you get to go to Yankee Stadium. Maybe you can buy a hat to wear at an EYB show and mike can make fun of you! haha.

And good luck finishing your routines, I've gotta find some time to finish mine as well.
