Went home last night from work, relaxed, and then went up to Gainesville to hit Monday Night Karaoke with Susan.
I walked up to the Porch and handed the girlie my ID, and instantly -- and this is why I miss Gainesville -- hear someone blurt out, "ALISON!!"
"Ahhhhhh. It's good to be back," I thought.
But I swear, karaoke doesn't want me to experience it this year. The first time I trekked to G-Rock for it, my friend got food poisoning and we called it a night before anyone sang. And this, the second time, there was no karaoke -- and subsequently, no free beer -- because it was spring break for all the UFers.
But what there was, however, was a free concert, so Susan met me there and we watched for awhile. And the band, luckily enough, was Gaslight Anthem. And they're damn good live. I would have bought their stuff had I been prepared with a cash flow (recall, I came up for a free night of fun).
And to top it all off, while I was standing talking to a handful of people who went to the same middle school I did, I spotted a flier on the wall of the Porch advertising a concert I've been itching to experience since last year. For me to miss this show, the world better fucking end.
And, I'm not disclosing ANY information about it -- no location, date, cost, bands, venue, nothing -- to protect myself from sabotage. If you're cool enough to know about it, I'll tell you in person.
Today has been a super-fantastic day and it's just now 12:15.
I love some of the people who read this blog. (I say 'some' because I don't know who the hell reads it.)
