Saw a great musician tonight at a local bar…. His name is Gerald Bair… Is an old friend of a coworker of mine so we headed down and checked him out. I was quite impressed by his guitar playing skills…. It’s been something I’ve wanted to learn, but just never got the time or motivation…. Not to mention a guitar 🙂
Anyways, check his site out at GeraldBair.com.
I also got some great pictures. I’ll post the URL if I get a change to post em to my site.
Disappointed that none of the pictures came out at all…. It really sucks. Next time, I may invest in a better shitty camera 🙂
I did get to see a preview of the movie Reign of Fire…. Takes place in 2020 when Dragons have re-emerged from a age-long sleep and have caused destruction and chaos over the earth. The story is about the struggle faced trying to defend their own and their families lives from the dragons.
The story was pretty good and the visual effects were outstanding. Mad props to the CG team, and if they read this and could render me running from the dragon and getting eaten I would be most appreciative as that would be so cool 🙂 hehe
1 Hour to go!
I brought a camera with me to the show last night. Figuring I *MIGHT* get caught with it and have it confiscated, I went to the dollar-store and bought a $1 35 mm camera and a $1 roll of film (Yes, a *disposable* camera for $2.14..hehe)….. After being frisked by the security guard and admitting I had a camera on me, the guard surprisingly allowed me to take the camera in. I guess he saw where my seats were and figured that I wouldn’t get anything at all (which I wouldn’t have from where the seats were!)
Fortunately, Poison allowed their fans to come up closer towards the stage. Since I had already crept my way into the orchestra seating area, I was able to get right up to the stage… Yes, folks, I was about 5 feet from the stage itself, almost perfect distance to take pictures with a disposable camera (What a coincidence 🙂 heehee)
Well, in 1 hour I’m running back to the photo lab to check on my pictures…..Wish me luck. I’ll post what I get (if I get anything)….
… For $2.14 I hope I get at least one good pic. It’ll totally make my day!! (week? month? maybe even year!)
It’s not that often that I post my personal feelings on here, so I think I’ll offer you people a follow-up…. I think my depression last night was brought on by my jealousy, however it was just the tip of the iceberg. There were a lot of other factors leading up to that event finishing with me not seeing Tracey for about a week and feeling let-down due to misunderstandings we’ve had recently. After talking things over with her, I felt a lot better and wound up staying the night with her. I feel a lot better today!
Just got back from the Poison concert! Great show…
Tracey had gotten passes to go backstage (yes I’m EXTREMELY jealous) with a friend of hers, and of course, she couldn’t get me a pass, so my only option was to go and hang out alone the whole show while she was backstage….
Fortunately for me, my boss at Island 94.3, one of the radio stations I work for was able to hook me up. I got 2 passes and went with my friend Matt…….
The show was great, but I can’t help feel a sense of disappointment, not with Poison, but with Tracey.
I don’t know if I am just jealous of Tracey for going backstage, something I’ve wanted to do my whole life, or if I feel neglected by going to the concert, with her spending most of the time backstage (which I shouldn’t feel cuz I only went cuz she was and I knew then that she was going to be backstage with her friend)…. I know I feel a bit left out because after talking to her on the phone now, she told me that her and her friend were going to go see the show in NJ next weekend without even a mention of inviting me….. I always of saw the 80’s rock bands as something we had in common, granted, something she was way more into that me, but something we could share but I kind of feel more like I’m sticking myself in her business or just trying to associate myself with something she likes and wants to do on her own, when I just want to be able to share this experience with someone I love.
The reason I haven’t gone to many concerts is because I didn’t have someone like this or even a group of people like this anymore. I always love going to clubs/concerts but when the people that were closest to me stopped going, so did I. I always went when I had a girlfriend or a close group of friends who were into it but rarely enjoy these things alone. Maybe because I’m shy socally and find it difficult to speak with or get along with general fans of the venue I’m attending…..
I guess I kind of feel cheated that I don’t have someone to share most of the things I love most with.
Just my thoughts tonight….
