After three days in the ground

So Todd and I have balcony seats for Ryan Adams on the 24th of October. It was funny. I only heard about the concert yesterday (Todd had set his phone alarm way back in May to remind himself, but he forgot about it/his phone exploded/his alarm was shunted by one that reminded him to watch Mythbusters) because a co-worker of mine, who's also a fan, practically attacked me when I walked in the front door in the morning. He'd heard about it the day before -- the Tuesday I was sick -- and wanted to know if I was down.
Verily, I was.
Presale started at ten o'clock this morning and my co-worker and I kept refreshing our browsers every five seconds until the online buying console went live. We used a super secret government password (provided by a super secret government source) that we had to screw around with case sensitivity to get to work. FINALLY, after what seemed like a Clancy-esque series of failed attempts, we scored four tickets. I don't know if we're necessarily carpooling down there together (Co-Worker has a fiancee he's taking) but it might be worth it if we can score overnight accommodations (Co-Worker's fiancee has the domestic hook-up) because the concert'll let out late and yeah, getting home at three in the morning only to wake up at 6:30 for work. Voted Most Likely To Thhbbbt.
'Got the new Dave Matthews when I was at Starbucks today. Live albums just have a certain somethin'-somethin' to them, don't you think?
Still thinking about graduate school. Still thinking about getting up early on Tuesday to get the House DVDs before work. Still thinking about picnics, pre-emptive strikes against puffery, fornication, flight school, new nail polish, Darwinism, nihilism, botulism, television, extridation, sleeve biting, up-all-nighting.
And, of course, two pieces of warm toast with a little peanut butter.

They are much better live than on their regular albums. They take the songs places live that are just amazing.
Dave and Tim that is a different level of heaven

Date: 2007-08-17 02:03 am (UTC)He talked about how wonderful Hugh was and that when they were filming the scene with House doing the test on Patrick with the bad words, Dave's stomach was growling. And he said that Hugh was such a professional that he timed his lines between the growls.
So they are doing this scene together and then all of a sudden they hear this loud snore. One of the camera guys fell asleep on the microphone and they jumped.
Dave: Well it wasn't my stomach.

no subject
Date: 2007-08-17 03:56 am (UTC)In my heart? Oh god, I'm easy. I'd like to hear "Let it Ride" and "In My Time of Need". The latter will probably never happen, though I bet I'll get to hear the former.
What about you? :)

Very glad the super secret government source came through. She's pretty cool, don't you think? Not that she's a she, of course - and I don't know the super secret government secret. I mean, if I did? I wouldn't be able to admit it anyway.
New Dave Matthews? I didn't know about this. I'm glad you like it! I'm still in love with Ryan Adams' "Gold" album. I play it on Partypants during my rides to work.
<3 I'm a little bit on the tired side, but I wanted to leave you love.

Oh, and what albums do you have as far as John Williams recordings go?
no subject
Date: 2007-08-17 07:10 pm (UTC)John Williams? God. Let me think. I'll have to scroll through my iPod to be sure:
Okay. I have:
Greatest Hits 1969-1999 (2 discs)
Jaws
Jurassic Park
The Lost World
The Witches Of Eastwick
Wow. That's all I have. Huh. That's all I have.

Date: 2007-08-17 07:29 pm (UTC)As well you should have, dear. As effing well you should have. What did you do? I mean, of course you went to the bars, but can I be nosy and ask for specifics?
And, how would you like a whole lotta John Williams? We're talking a looooooooot. Would Little Lisa be happy?
