Why do weekends have to end?!

This past weekend was amazing. I'm way too tired to even try to summarize it but it was a great start to concert season 2009. Friday was spent at the New Cities show with two of my favorite people on this planet. We spent hours sitting around a coffee shop before the show just laughing until it hurt. The show was amazing even if the second band was awful. Then we headed back to Jenns where we laughed even more into the night over absolutely nothing. I constantly mention my happy place being the bell center...or new cities shows but I've come to realize that my happy place is when I'm with the two of them. Even if I show up in the worst mood ever, they'll bring me out of it. It's scary how well the three of us mesh together. I don't really ever see those moments ending though and that's what makes me excited for the future. No matter where we end up we're going to have a good time. DAHFA?♥
Then on Sunday I went down to the Hot Streak show with Melissa. Our third was stranded at her home because of the bad weather. We had been trying to make a Hot Streak show since we saw them in August. Something always came up, like Ben Mulroneys wedding reception, so we would constantly have to bail on them. It's a good thing we made it through the snow this time around because we ended up having an incredibly memorable evening. The guys were performing at a Battle of the Bands at Club Soda and they ended up coming in 2nd out of 16 bands. They put on a hell of a show that included some awesome choreographed dancing and some super stylish outfits. After their set Melissa & I sat down on stools at the entrance of the club and didn't move for 6 hours. We spent the majority of the time just hanging out with the guys, enjoying some pretty ridiculous conversation and learning more about where they're hoping to go with this music career. It's really nice to see a group of people so passionate about music and being able to share your love over a certain thing. If they continue in the direction they're going they'll do very well. I have no doubt in my mind. Not to mention it's a nice change to be around people who are incredibly down to earth and just genuinely nice people. We also made friends with the greatest security guard ever who was blowing us kisses by the end of the night and telling us he loved us. We were supposed to leave the venue at 7 but we ended up staying until 11 and I'm incredibly happy that we did. I'm really looking forward to their next show.
The only bad thing about having such an amazing weekend is I have to come back down to reality and go back to work. I only work three days this week and my last shift is tomorrow. Then I'm heading down to Ottawa on Thursday for the SENS/SHARKS game where I'll be sporting my Sharks jersey with PRIDE and arguing with Sens fans, hopefully. Then on Friday I come home and head straight over to Lisas house for a mini girls night in front of her big television for the Habs/Flyers game. On Saturday morning the girls are coming with me to the Bell Center for moral support. I'm hoping to get my Nabokov jersey signed. We'll see. It'll be nice to meet one of my hockey heroes since he's only in town like...once every 3 years. Sunday..well maybe on Sunday I'll sleep?

Oh & Jaroslav Halak..you're a beast and I never doubted that you had serious talent.
