11-28-99 - This weekend/holiday vacation has been one of the better
times in my life. I've spent the majority of it with my pals, Alia and
Derek. Not telling my 'rents where I am and then coming back after 1 a.m.
has a certain flare to it that I like. And it's not that I'm out doing
anything bad. I'm usually just 10 feet away at Alia's (or 11 feet away
at Derek's). Tonight, tho, was the icing on the cake. And may I add that
it was some damn good icing. :)
As some of you may know, I REALLY wanted to get tickets to the free
Smash Mouth concert at the Metropol. I called B94 for three days straight.
I even woke up at 3 in the morning to call. Every time I called, tho, it
was busy. I finally gave up and realized I wasn't gonna get to go. Then
B94 said they were giving the last of the tickets away in Pittsburgh. Dorothea
asked me last night if I wanted to go up with her and try to win the tickets.
Long story short - we went, and we got the tickets. B94 announced where
Jonny Hartwell was with the tickets, and we found him pretty easily. The
only problem was that there was no parking. Dorothea fixed that problem,
tho, and stopped the car in the middle of the street. She put the blinkers
on, and we ran down to the B94 truck. I started jumping up and down, and
then I ran around screaming. hehe. But let's 'jump' ahead to the concert....Smash
Mouth....They put on the BEST show. First off, Steve Harwell is sooo nice.
He let this girl come on stage and he threw free t-shirts into the crowd.
And I can't forget to mention how hot he is! And ya know what, I'm still
so pumped from the show, that this whole thoughts page sucks. It's horribly
written. I can't even begin to describe how close we were to Smash Mouth,
how good they played, or the feeling in my stomach when Jonny Hartwell
handed me a ticket that said 'Smash Mouth. Free. November 28, 1999 at 7:30.'
This whole Thanksgiving vacation was one big natural high for me. I am
so proud of myself for overcoming the things that have been holding me
back in life. I am so proud of myself for letting myself go, for having
fun, for understanding that you can't let others dictate how great your
life can be...I give props to those of you who stood by me and supported
me. I love all of you. May God bless you with the chance of someday seeing
Smash Mouth live. :)
Check out pictures from the Smash Mouth concert.
Everybody's been telling me how great my pictures are and that I was so close to Smash Mouth. I've decided to come clean, tho. These aren't really my pictures. It's just a link to B94's pictures. :)
