My bark is worse than my bite

I still have a dry, barking cough left over from Texas! It's taking a while to work itself out. It's mostly okay though, just an irritation. I suppose it's an excuse to keep sucking on those tropical halls I bought. Mmmm, tropical.

Here's a back story:

Rob has a didge student. Her son plays in a band and that band was having a CD release party last night at the Starlight., The starlight is a small but trendy venue in town (I think, based on the names I've seen through). Like a smaller, loungier Barrymores, I guess.

Anyway, the didge student asked us over to her place for dinner, then we'd head off to see the show and support the band. Sounds good! So we went.

A list of things that happened yesterday that I was not expecting
1. I went to see a metal band perform.

Okay, so, new experience alert! I bough earplugs for $0.25 and felt very uncool till the first band went on and and I saw everybody adjusting their earplugs. METAL IS VERY, VERY LOUD. And complicated. I couldn't find the groove but the slam dancers could. It's not my style of music but I can see where the fans have something to love about it. I gather we saw some pretty excellent bands last night. I liked how the music kind of defibrillated my chest all night. It's weird to be physically shifted from sound waves!

Rob and I were the preppiest ones there. It was fine though, metal listeners are very nice. and don't seem to judge. Like in a tattoo shop I saw a joke that said: what's the difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people?
A: Tattooed people don't care if you don't have tattoos.

The word "tattoo" is starting to lose meaning to me due to repetition.

So, while i would likely never pay top see a metal band again, it wasn't horrible and it was pretty cool!~ I don't like the music but it was still interesting. And there was a huge costumed cookie monster rocking out at the show. He kicked me once by accident and was very apologetic! Rob said he was impressed that I didn't punch the dude in the face, but it makes sense because he wasn't trying to talk to me or hug me against my will. I don't mind costumes if they leave me alone. Make sense?? I tried to find my old entry explaining how I elbowed an amorous Oreo at carnival but couldn't find it to link. Is there an easy way to find old entries? Searching didn't work.

Have a good day and ROCK OUT!!!!!!
