So, this past weekend was the weekend after my 34th birthday. Friday night we had my sister's bachelorette party. I was pleased that everything went well. We went to Mallorca in downtown Cleveland for dinner. The food was ok, but the staff barely spoke English, or pretended not to understand us. Not sure which was the case. After dinner we went club hopping down West 6th street. We had a blast dancing at a few different clubs. There was this great band at the Blind Pig. I didn't catch their name, but they were awesome! And the hoochies! I haven't seen so much flesh on barely 21 year olds in such a long time. Word to the wise girls. Unless you're a fit person, you really should't wear clothes that barely cover your body. I'm not thin, so you won't see me wearing something that makes my flab hang out everywhere. Have some self respect. Ok, enough of my rant. After clubbing the girls came back to my house to hang for a bit before all going home. I really hope everyone had a good time.
Saturday morning I had to be up early for a funeral and then I mowed the lawn. You'd think after dancing all night Friday I would have been sore. Nope. Ok, maybe a little. But, the lawn really needed to be mowed.
Saturday evening was the Rock Allegiance Tour at the Captain's Stadium in Eastlake, OH. My sister got us the tickets. The evening started with a band called Drive A. I had not heard of them before, but they were really good. I downloaded their cd later. Second was my favorite band, Crossfade. 6 years ago I went through a horrible breakup and it was their music that really helped me to get angry so I could heal. So Far Away has been my favorite song for years. When they sang that song, I about went hoarse from screaming and singing. After they were done, they told us to go to the Merch booth if we wanted to meet them, so I basically ran there with Nina in tow and we waited over an hour for them to come out. We were some of the first to meet them. I got them all to sign my cd. Nina even managed to get a hug from two of the members. We got our picture too. I've attached it here for you to see. I have to say, for a big name band, the members were so nice! And I have to say Eddie Sloan is such a cutie! I know there are a thousand girls in love with him. Well, now I'm one. He was so great with all of the fans. It's nice to see a celebrity that really appreciates his fans. When I met My Chemical Romance a few years ago, they treated us like an assembly line. I was so disappointed. Not Crossfade. They were incredible with everyone.
So, after Crossfade, a band called Red played. I hadn't heard of them before, but they were good. The lead singer has an amazing voice. I downloaded that cd too. We also got to see Alien Ant Farm, Puddle of Mudd, Buckcherry, and Papa Roach. I love Buckcherry! The lead singer has such a unique sounding voice. It's almost hypnotic. And who doesn't love Papa Roach. Before singing his new song, the lead sent a shout out to his wife who was in the crowd. It was lovely and romantic. I love them. All in all it was probably one of the most amazing nights of my life. I would see each band again in a heart beat. Thank you WMMS for putting this concert on in my home town.
Well, this may have been my longest post yet. Have a great week all!
