Monday I started my new (temporary) job. I work at the mall helping the Easter Bunny visit the kids. I stay in the little “set” (which is really cute!) and take pictures, give the kids little hats, manage the cash register, etc. It’s a nice little job. I work 12-3 this week, 11-2 next week. Mon-Thursday. It’s not much, but it’s minimum wage and I can use all the money I can get. I like the coworkers and the actual job. The first day I was here I swear I saw the little girl from the movie “Hook”. Adorable!
Well, Monday I went to the Parabelle, Broken Silence, Unspoken, and Snow Black Sunday show at the Exit/In. I picked Ryan up around 4:15, and then found out we had to pick up Trent, so whatever, no problem. We get on the interstate, hit the rain, and then get to about ten minutes away from where we are supposed to be.
Then the tornado sirens go off. Ryan tells me to pull over and practically takes off running immediately. We run three blocks (from Bridgestone Arena to Coyote Ugly) downhill in the rain. I keep up with them (in fucking HEELS! Fuck yeah feminism!) and wait it out. Then we get back to the car and drive over. Drenched. Ugh. The walk back to the car was just fucking uncomfortable.
Finally get to the Exit/In, and hang around during sound check. Then head over to Gold Rush with Nancy, Noah, Ryan, Trent, and Jarod. Good but expensive food.Then back for the concert.
Snow Black Sunday led off the show, and it was pretty good.
Broken Silence followed them, and I got into it more towards the end (had to stop being sick).
Unspoken was next, and it was freaking awesome! It was their first non acoustic set and it was just freaking GAHSAWTJ! So good!
Then Parabelle came on, and I haven’t had so much fun in so long! Then they played “Cold (But I’m still here) and I was grinning like a fucking maniac!
To explain the title: At the bar, there’s a water cooler (with a little spout) that people can just grab their own water as needed. Well, after the show, I went to get some and the lead singer of Parabelle was getting some also. And I guess the water was low, because he was tilting it to fill his cup. I grabbed my cup and waited. After he was done, he said “Do you wanna put your cup down here and I’ll fill it up?” So I did. XD And I was just stoked.
I had so much fun, and it just…I really needed it.
