I spent a lot of tonight trying not to think about last night. I got lucky, and had some help at this. We went to see John Legend at the Fox Theater. It was fabulous. India.Arie was supposed to be the opener, but she was sick - which was heart breaking. Because I loooove her.
Today was a good day. There was cake in the cafeteria at lunch (lemon!) and then tonight we went to a concert at the Pageant with two other couples. The opener was Eric Hutchinson (LOVE!) and the main group I’d never heard of - they were mediocre. BUT- back to Eric. When he was done performing, he said he’d be hanging out at the merch shop. So, I went to meet him/get an autograph/picture. And I did the usual, “Hi. You rock. Strange request - can you please pose with my knit project?” And he was like, “You KNIT?” And then asked me all these questions and to show him and what was this going to be, haha. When I handed it to him, he was like, “No. Like, make it LOOK like I’m knitting.” I have never had anyone be so interested when I asked them. So, he is even more super awesome than I though. Here is the picture:
Scott and I drove to Kansas City tonight for the coldplay concert. It kicked ass.
Gibbard is skinny. It's strange.
Today, Heather came over from the IL side and we went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, which I live just 2 blocks from. We looked at the Niki exhibit and took pictures, chatted about all kinds of things, and sweated a little more than we both had hoped. We got some great pictures though, take a look:
To the woman sitting one seat over from me in row Q of the Fox Theater last night at the Ryan Adams concert:
What's the best pick up line you've ever heard?
How about instead I tell you about an especially bad one? Oh, what's that? It's my blog you say? Okay then...
I was once at a concert at the duck room with Scott, and they have a bar there that has large pitchers of water and plastic cups so that you can get your own waters and not bother the (snobby) bartenders for your measly drink. There was a guy leaning with his back to the bar and arms kinda back standing there by the water. I poured the first one and he leaned over and said, "You know, I slipped some roofies in that water..." And I poured another and said, "SWEET! Maybe my date will finally put out!" And walked away. He looked shocked.
Yet, I was shocked. What the eff kind of a pick up line is, "Hey baby, I'm a rapist." I bet he's real popular in real life, not just the bar scene.

In other news, Erica went into labor today and has, I hope, had the baby by now. I should know more tomorrow. I can't wait to meet little E!
Went to see Tom Waits at the Fox Theater tonight.
This makes night THREE that I've been up past 10pm. WTF. It doesn't end here, tomorrow night is the Iron & Wine show at the Pageant, so that'll be a late one too. After WWKIP day Saturday, I'm going to want to find somewhere to hide out for a few days. But, I'll only get one day, and I can't even use it to hide out, because it's Father's Day. Making this the 2nd weekend that I'll need an additional weekend to recover. *sigh*
After a long (12 hour) day at work, we went to the Pageant and saw a kick ass show.
