I left NWS at 2 am and instead of going home i went to meet Hope waiting in line to see NKOTB on the Today show as part of the concert series.she had chairs for us which rocked hardcore! eventually Dawn came and joined us and brought arts and craft supplies and we made posters... ok mine wasnt so much a NKOTB poster, but a drawing.. i ended up snoozing for about 20 minutes, and they helped me pry off my boots that had literally welded to my socks! my feet were swollen and in pain. i also learned that i love NKOTB, but old school them. i was no where near excited or as obssessed as most the people but it was fun being in that atmosphere with friends.
they finally let us in and the standing began! during soundcheck the crowd revolted towards the people in the front with signs, i witnessed a 10 year old girl that needs anger management tools, and admited defeat. i was so tired and in so much pain i couldnt wait the next two hours on my feet to see them, so i was hppy with the two full soundcheck performances and dawn and i left. i got home and got an hour nap in before getting ready and heading out.
i went to New Rochelle to help with my cousin dennis' 6th birthday party (star wars theme). i frosted the super amazing lego cakes and helped set up and all that. 13 6 year old boys in a contained area is work! but the party was fun and a sucess. the only sad thing was i had taken my camera out to snap a few photos of party was it was set up, and my camera i named after the immortal Duncan MacLeod died! i guess he wasnt immortal after all! his lens wont go back in and i cant use him any more and i feel like i have lost my right arm! (bonus i got 9 boxes of samoa girl scout cookies (my fave) and a box of trefoils (my 2nd fave).) i need to spell better!
after i got back into the city and met up with Ewa from her bus from Boston then we went home. i was so excited that both of our annoying houseguest had departed and found a disgusting mess when i was changing the sheets to clean ones for ewa. i mean really... if you are going to have your period and have an accident (ON SOMEONE ELSE'S COUCH) then dont leave it and not tell them... so i found dried period gunk on my couch that went through the (now thrown out) sheets and onto the mattress... yea tossing that too!
anyway ewa freshend up then we met dawn at the seinfeld diner and got some good eats, then we headed to mostly sondheim (dawn went home to pack). got there on the early side so ewa and i strolled for a bit before heading in. we got there and found lympus, collen, and michael from NWS so we sat with them and it was nice. Marty and Brian ended up hosting alone but it was of course still fabulous and fun times! ewa even sang, and i was sad we left t so early, and missed lots of fun, but she didnt want to stay out too late, and quite frankly if she hadnt of made me leave i may not have made it back in one piece because i was so tired!
i then crawled into bed and slept for a few hours... it was beyond needed!
