Happy New Years! 2008 By Shorty | January 1st, 2008
I hope that everyone had a fun, safe, and fantastic new years eve and day! I had so much fun! *smile*
Unfortunatly I started the day by going to work, which could have been much worse than it was! Only one ironic thing happened while I was there. About a week ago I was talking with Joe and we were talking about people letting thier cars run out of gas. He told me a story about his old shop teacher. He was driving down the road one day and on the side of the street was a young beautiful woman. Well he pulled over to ask her if she needed any help, but when she told him that she had run out of gas, he just smiled and said have a good day… It was a lot more funny when Joe told me this story, but I digress. This should have been my first sign to change my errant ways as far as gas in my car is concerned. Later that week my little brother and I were going over to take care of the dogs and cat that I have been watching and I was almost out of gas and he said that I should do something about it… isn’t he the king of obvious? *smile* I knew that I should but I insisted that my car would make it and it did. The way I looked at it, it was 10-15 minutes I could be back home and in bed asleep! I know, I know… lazy. Anyways here come new years eve, and I decided I would leave work a little early so that I could hang out with Karma before I went out. I proceed to get all my stuff together, I wish everyone a happy new years and I get outside and low and behold… my car runs out of gas. *frown* SO frustrating, but the only person that I could be upset with was myself, urgh. So I went back inside, I knew that my friend Vickie was taking her lunch in a little while, so I asked her to take me to the gas station so that I could get gas.. she and I laughed about it thewhole way there! We made it back and I was on my way once again! Yay!!
I got home and Karma and I hung out, we did make overs and watched a movie in my room. It was really relaxing! She was even okay with me going out for the night! I called her later and she actually made it to midnight! When I was her age I always tried to make but never did! I guess I hadn’t figured out that it was the perfevt excuse to stay up late! *smile*
I guess I got back on the road about 5pm. I called Joe to let him know. When I got to his place, we loaded up the car and were on our way!!! It took about 45 minutes to an hour to get there… I think, I am really bad with amounts of time and distances. So we made it into Baltimore and located our hotel, the Tremonts. I highly recommend this place! The room was fantastic! We were up on the 25th floor and it made me realize that it was a good thing that I am not frightened by heights. Anyways, we just sat back and relaxed for a minute, which was so nice because I feel like I haven’t really had time to do that in awhile! We started getting ready about 8:45-9pm and were finally out the door at 9:15pm. We made it to the club at about 10pm on the dot! Which was perfect because the base player from his band, Jay was meeting us there then! He also brought a friend, Cara? I hope that was her name.. I’m really good with faces but not names, so if I got that incorrect, please forgive me.
When Clutch went on you could feel the energy level in the room jump! Every one was having a blast! Joe and I got as close as maybe dared, seeing as how some of the people were getting into the spirit in the pit! I was sttanding in front of him fro awhile, and I felt like there was surround sound going on! So many people were singing along with the band! Joe got really into it as well, which was awsome to see and watch! There was point in time that he had me stand behind him though and looking back I’m glad. One of the guys in the pit fell into us and it was getting a little ruff and rowdy, but as long as everyone was having a good time, that’s all that really matters! They were amazing on stage, Joe had played their stuff for me before, but it was ten times better live! I had such an incredible time, and it was a spectacular feeling spending it with him! *smile* This new years eve and day will definitly go down in my books!
