Ok, not quite. But I did skip class and went to see MIG in concert! Woo hoo! It was AWESOME.
On our way to the place, Casey and I had managed to get ourselves lost, and we were stuck in some pretty heavy traffic. We heard a radio commercial, where you can call in and be on the radio. So, Casey tried, she was boring, so then I tried and I actually got on! I sent a shout out to my neighbors, and sadly they didn't hear it.
I eventually found my way to Mr. Smalls Theater, and we still had time to spare for the show to start.
MIG was the opening act, and we got up in the front, and I was singing along with everything. I even got a few glances from the lead singer and the bassist. To say the least, I was on cloud 9.
When the show was over, I stayed in the front, because I wanted to ask the bassist if they were going to be signing autographs. When lo-and-behold, he crouched down, stuck his arm out and said, "Hi, I'm Jake. Thanks for singing along with us, that was really awesome." I just drooled.
He said they were going to be hanging out around after the show, and to look for him. So, a while later I found him and I walked over to him and he gave me a side hug, and we talked a little bit, about where I first saw them in concert, how much of a fan I am, where I'm from, stuff like that. Then he left to go to the back room, and said he'd be back later.
By the end of all the shows, the bassist was out and about, hanging with Jake, and I asked him for his autograph, he signed it, and Jake volunteered to grab the other guys so I could get their autographs too. While Jake was searching, the guitarist and I talked about where I saw him and such. He said, "Oh yeah, Jake told me about you."
The only way I can describe myself at that point in time is ecstatically joyous with a high. Yes, he had remembered my name, he listened to what I said, and he relayed it to his band mate. A good thing? Definately.
So Jake returned with the other two, they got me a free poster and signed it, Jake had also given me a sticker which he signed and a patch (which I will put on my pants). I got a picture taken with them, and Jake and the lead singer and I chilled out for a while afterwards just talking about little things, like their touring, where I saw them, how I'm a big fan, how their record is doing, stuff like that. I forget what I had said, but the lead singer told me that, "You're cool in my book." I couldn't stop smiling at that. Or really the whole time. Sadly, they had to leave to pack up the truck, and they both gave me nice hugs, and we parted.

That night had to be one of the most fun things I have ever done, and possibly even the best.
This past Sunday, when Casey and I went out to a Halloween store to get some make-up, she became excited and wanted her lip pierced. She asked if I would get something pierced along with her, and I said sure. So, I got my eyebrow pierced. It didn't hurt nearly as much as it did when I got my ears pierced. It's still a little sore, but I play with it a lot. I can't wait to be able to change the ring. I have to wait 2 months to do that though.
All in all, this week has been interesting. I had a fun time, spent a majority of my paycheck, and I'm starving. But that's ok, I needed to lose weight anyway.
