lollipop girls

went to mika last night with jenn ... aMAZing! loved it! we smoked beforehand and then went out for some lychee martini's (delish!). we each got a drink at the show, but then we found out we couldn't have drinks on the balcony :(

so we just drank them fast.

jenn went to go meet fun new people while i just chilled and checked out the scene. i have to say i was very surprised by the crowd. many many many underage girls were there in groups or with their moms. there were also a lot of older people there. and by older i mean 35-50. and a lot of them were straight. so it was a very different crowd than when i saw mika in boston, but sold out nonetheless.

the show itself was awesome. mika was dressed in all whites and some silver, very sleek. he totally rocked out the whole time, even on the slow songs. there were some great blow up doll thingys on stage for big girl you are beautiful and lollipop, but i couldn't really see them that well based on where we were sitting . oh! and for big girls, there were these 2 great full-figured burlesque dancers that came out and danced. so hot! and of course there were lollipop girls dancing on stage during lollipop, but they weren't in the crowd like they were in boston (unless they were on the lower level, which i couldn't see very well).

they kept bringing out the piano and then taking it away, and then bringing it back. it was really fun. we smoked during the show with the guys sitting in front of us. that was fun.

the encore was amazing... confetti and streamers everywhere, totally candy. (i just used candy as an adjective... i should coin that! ex. "girl, you lookin' candy today!")

after the show jenn convinced me to go out (as she had been trying to do all evening), and we went to the badlands. so. much. fun. it's an awesome video bar with the greatest music. the music was so great, here's a small recap:
britney

janet
janet
christina
pink

all in a row. which meant we didn't leave the dance floor for a looong time. but that was just right before we left. they played great music earlier too, and jenn and i stole away to smoke some more outside the club. it was great fun. we got some mexican food and watched some bad tv, and i slept over jenns. that means that right now, i'm wearing the exact same outfit that i saw mika in and went dancing in. but at least i showered!!! and we both made it to work on time today. go us.

update: as promised, some pics of us before the show, smoking at the show, and some blurry ones of the show





i know most of them didn't come out well, but oh well!

wolverine

i decided to shave!! not everything though, just a little. i want to be like wolverine, except without the violence.

thoughts? comments, questions, concerns?

swedish pop!!

i just got back from seeing robyn at popscene!!! aMAZing!

price of admission: $10
1 jack on the rocks: $8+tip
seeing robyn (gorgeous) and hearing her sing (gorgeous voice): priceless

there's some things money can't buy... for everything else, there's the cash i scrounged up last minute.

i got to popscene around 9:45, stood in line for about 20 minutes, and i was in! tickets were at the door only, so i had no idea if i'd get in or not. i met a girl in line who, like me, was there alone. she was a bit odd, a trait i like in people, and after we chatted for a few minutes she leaned in really close to me and whisper-yelled "sweeeeeedes!!" it was interesting. robyn didn't go on until 11:27, and she sang for approximately 40 minutes, encore included. it was so worth it though.

a few things about the other club/concert goers: either i was too sober or everyone else was really drunk. true, i had only one drink and was definitely closer to sober than anything else, but these people were really obnoxious and pushy. i thought boston was the city of (m)assholes, but these people took the cake.
i must have forgotten about the giant sign i was holding that read : please: if you tower over me, stand directly in front of me! if you're a drunk straight girl, fall into me! if you're holding a drink, by all means, spill it on me! and please, please, please, remember to elbow me in the face multiple times! if you're feeling a bit randy, hump me!! thanks!!

seriously, if i had a dollar for every time i was unwillingly humped by older, unattractive men, i could have been drunk by the end of the show. my personal favorite (aka. douchebag) was the frat guy who elbowed me out of his way so he could stand directly in front of me, then turned around and gave me double thumbs up. if i had a death list, he would be #1. thank goodness i'm a peaceful, calm person. and tiny.

but anyway, ROBYN!!!!

she sang konichiwa bitches, with every heartbeat (my favorite), jack you off (teehee), and she even sang show me love!!! you remember that one from the 90's, don'tcha kids!? she did it very different, with only the drum synthesizers. it was lovely and everyone sang along. she also sang other songs that i don't know the names of, but they were all great.

i have battle wounds too!! at one point during the show, someone pushed me pretty hard from behind and i felt what i thought was someones beer bottle rub against my elbow. it hurt a tiny bit and i figured that i probably had a little scratch. when i looked at it later on the muni ride home, it's anything but little.

i'd say its about 6 inches long, and it curves around my arm. the picture is a little blurry, but it's on my inner arm! i have no idea what caused it. hope i don't get tetanus!

it's super late and i have to work in 6 hours!! woohooooo!!! fun times! i hope i dream about robyn tonight!!

i love my job

i'm doing less work than i've ever done, and making waaaay more money than i've ever made. yay! my coworkers are awesome and super positive all the time, totally an environment to thrive in. and the union! yay union! yay plenty of room for advancement!! woohoooooooooo!!!
