Miss Busybody

The last few weekends have been pretty eventful. Two weekends ago was my show w/ the guys in the band at Crash Mansion. Last weekend was the benefit gig in Maryland and then sightseeing through the D.C. mall. This weekend me and my sister went to see the Music Builds tour with Switchfoot, Third Day, Jars of Clay and Robert Randolph. The latter was amazing... he had me on my feet dancing and clapping until my hands were read and sore. It was the third time I'd seen SF but it was probably the best performance I'd seen. I also haven't seen them play since my freshman or sophomore year. They'd added a lot of really fun quirks to their set, and Jon Foreman was just awesome, running around all over the place, standing on anything he dared to (sound amps, his drummer's bass drum, a Marshall boxy thingy that had wheels and was perilously high, the handles on the audience's chairs). He walked into the crowd and had them help him walk on the seats. I also ended up meeting the guy who makes Chad's hand drums, and he told me he'd send me a free djembe. Score!

We had gotten some pretty kickass seats - one of the perks of my job. We also had meet and greet passes, but we got there too late! Major poops. I like to think Jon would have remembered me, since he made note of my name and thought it was cool (cool! swoon).

We left during Third Day's set...we didn't like them too much.. I also surprisingly didn't get the biggest kick out of Jars of Clay, but they weren't bad. Oh well, it was still some fun bonding time with my sis, and the first time I got to see PNC bank center, which was awesome too.

Today I finished off the backup vocals for my album... so all the vocals are officially done. Wow. What a lot of work... I really wish I didn't have to work so I could finish all of this quickly. Letting it fester has made for lots of emotion swirling and confusion for me...best case scenario would have been to finish it in 5-6 months. Oh well... that's that.


Phew... waiting for Rob to call so I can finally see him.
