I failed you last weekend... There were definitely good shows and things to do, but it was a long weekend, so as predicted in my Labor Day Weekend Post, I had a beer by 2pm and I was on vacation mode and for this I am Very Sorry!
So here's what went down last weekend.
I went all the way to Miami Beach to see The Script in concert.
If you don't know who they are, here you go: They are a three piece band from Dublin that has mass appeal between ladies from 16-35, their sound is VERY POP and they are all absolutely adorable with their little Irish accents.
I was surprised to see groups of heterosexual men, that were not dragged by their girlfriends at the show. I mean I'm sure the guys that took ladies to this got some, but I'm confused as to why these (very) straight guys went by themselves... If the plan was to pick up ladies, I must confess you failed. At least in my case, I even found the guys that went with their woman to be pussy-whipped so I was turned off by the fact that they were there at all.
Back to the band. They rocked! I almost forgot how amazing is the show that these guys put on. They kept yelling out "Miami!" to the delight of the women in the audience and Danny (lead singer) kept all of their wrist-cutting-ballads as emotional as they could be. They did have a shining upbeat "Rusty Halo" which was a nice little change of pace, but for the most time, I sang at the top of my lungs while I remembered all the times my heart had been broken. (This happens a lot when you're as sensitive, I mean as crazy, as I am). After this, I called it a night, because I did start drinking at 1pm and I thought 10pm was a good time to stop.
Good ol' Sat came along with a nice dose of my hyperactivity, so I was ready to bounce off the walls as of 9 am. I'm not lying here... at 9 am I was listening to my "Dance in My Underwear" playlist and dancing. There was also a brief "Assasin's Creed" session and some organization of my room and closet, but I couldn't really sit still after that.
As soon as it was night time I got ready to see my fave Texan band Bright Light Social Hour at The Stage. I was very excited to yell "III NEEEEEEED YOUUUR LOOOOOVE" without looking like a crazy person, so I texted my two lovely friends to join along the madness. I also met a very nice Guatemalan that was amazing patient with my crazy dancing. The band came on around midnight and they performed 4 or 5 new tracks, which were all amazing, I only wish I had an album to memorize them.... The band opened with the ever recognizable "Shanty," and kept the excitement going by performing crowd favorites "Bare Hands, Bare Feet" and " Back and Forth."
After that, my fabulous new and old group of friends wondered over to Buck 15, where dancing madness ensued... It has pretty much been established that our last spot of every Sat night is going to be Buck 15, so to quote another frequent Buck 15er, "there is an 80% chance that we will see you next Sat night."
There you have it, last weekend's report... I promise to be good and post this weekend's upcoming hot events on Thurs!
