Man I am exhausted today. Last night I went up to Columbus to see the John Mayer show at the Newport and then followed it up with the Fate Hates Us show. Both were very good shows, and at both I got to hear some songs I had never heard before. I actually got to hear No Such Thing twice, once by Mayer and then Tom from FHU played it since he wasn’t at the Mayer show. :) I didn’t get to bed until about 6 AM, and I left my mom a note to get me out of bed before she left for work. I have no clue what time she got me up, but I couldn’t handle it. I eventually woke up on my own around 10:30 and decided to go into work. That’s only 4.5 hours of sleep. Oh well, it was well worth it…

So at the Mayer show, I was pretty much just chillin’ right by Adam E’s rig the whole time. I could see most of everything for most of the night until the towards the encore when the floor got packed with people. It was still cool though. Right before he played Comfortable which would be the last song of the night, a girl that was standing next to Adam tapped me on the shoulder and said, “I just wanted to tell you that you are a cutie.” The song was starting, and I really wanted to hear it, so I just said thanks and then listened to the song. It was a great song to hear, and after it was over I turned around to start up a conversation with this girl. I guess she lives pretty close to me and went to high school at Sycamore, but she is at OSU now. I believe her name was Leanne, but I had trouble remembering it until just now. I have a serious problem with remembering people’s names, I need to find a way to fix that somehow. Anyway, she said that she had homework to do, but I told her that I would be going to the Fate Hates Us show, if she decided to slack off a bit. She did not show up there, but I thought that the whole thing was pretty cool. Maybe I’ll run into her again sometime. Fighty and Liam both tried to convince me that she told me that cause she thought I was gay, but I think they were just jealous. :)

So onto the Fate Hates Us show. I tell you what, these guys are really getting damn good, not that they weren’t before but I was very impressed with them last night, and I think so were some of the others that I brought up there to the show. Joe Vedder (Mr. Pearl Jam) loved the “Alive” cover, just as I knew he would. The band got a new trailer and Sabrina hooked them up with a cool new banner. I wish that more people would have shown up for the show there, but I think it will all happen for them in time. I found out that some of the guys read this journal, which is cool. Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually reads this, but I like writing in it. It gives me a way to remember all kinds of events and just get everything out my system that I need to “talk” about. :)

Well I guess I’m gonna get back to work now. I have a big day of class tomorrow with some tests and a project, but then after that it is off to Chicago for some DMB. I am very very excited for this. Have a good weekend everyone…
