first of all: i had a wicked-awesome time in seattle with ian. we had too-hot indian food, slept (sorta) in a too loud motel called the kings inn (no apostrophes), drank lower % alcohol, and partied with an 80-90% canadian crowd at the hip/sam roberts concert. it was sooooo much fun. there were mostly boys there, so that was fun. we almost saw this one guy get into a fight a minimum of 3 times... probably more, we sweat so bad! but gordy had sweat dripping off his elbow and his shirt was soaked even more than mine (and i had beer all over mine). i bought a $10 double album (sam roberts) cause i felt it was a sweet deal since i adore vinyl. ian's wallet got lost (this morning, no less) and we had denny's. it was a pretty full trip!
at the indian restaurant there were only two other people there, and the guy had a TML jersey on, so i bet ian $1 that they were going to the hip concert. and then he (totally out of character) asked! we decided it was the american ian. he later wondered (after i won the bet) why he bet me, when he also thought they were going to see the hip. ha ha!
in the line-up there was a couple in front of us and they were like, are you american? cause everyone was wearing jerseys or canadian shirts or hats etc. the guy was from buffalo so he said that he knew the hip from them playing out east. they were really friendly. in fact, everyone was, even the guy who was an ass and got kicked out cause everyone was mad at him for trying to start fights was kinda nice. one guy near me had a glass of ice (did i mention how hot it was?) and i wanted some soooo bad, he was so nice about it, but i only took one piece, and then i was going to share it with ian (i bit it in half) but the guy totally offered some to ian! i almost fell to my death at least twice. there were a couple of crowd serges when people were surfing, i guess canadians generally behave well to each other when in other countries. a few bruises (mostly from punch/poke buggies i'd guess, cause ian's finger hurt today... dr.ursula says he sprained it trying to poke me) and a sore shoulder are the extent of the damage i took.
i totally want to see more canadian bands at showbox. despite it being so f'ing hot, it was wicked to sing o canada! in the states and to see bands that can play at bigger venues in canada at such a small place (ian and i discussed it and agree that it is smaller than the commodore). i had sooo much fun. and it was great to have a mini-vacation with ian, i'll say because i think he's rad and fun to hang out with, anghold and yvonne can say whatever they want.
today we stopped at the stewart house and had homemade pumpkin pie, and i got to angela, alicia and chosey (as in, the chosen one). it was fun cause i adore angela (rachel's mom) and i got to see hoolie at ang's house tonight when yvonne and i went over to eat mac and cheese and play poker. hmmm... i got to see mr. morris today too. weird. it was like parent-ursula meetings today!
when i got home i plucked my eyebrows (eek!) and now i'm doing a mask. i totally did not drink enough water yesterday, so my skin looked like crap. there wasn't any water in the drink machine at the hotel, and nothing was open when we walked back, so ian brought up some ice and i sucked ice cubes (which is not nearly as effective as drinking a glass of water, in case you were wondering).
