Off the Charts

September 3, 2007 at 8:36 am | In fun & frolicking, sweet debauchery, visitors | 15 Comments

How much fun can one person handle? I keep testing my limits and you know what? I can handle a LOT, like buckets and buckets of it, as evidenced by this past weekend.

Friday: Meeting up with the Mad Irishman, eating some tacos, throwing back one too many Jack & Cokes, a shot or two, and a PBR somewhere in there. Laughter. Drunken photo shoots. Going MIA for God knows how long when I was supposedly just visiting the loo. (You know how when you get drunk you can wander off and time has absolutely no relevance? So you can think you were gone for 10 minutes but really everyone has been looking for you for at least an hour? Mmmm, yeah. It was like that.) Debauchery was reached, let’s just say.

Saturday: Getting four hours of sleep only to run on pure adrenaline and elation because ohmygod I was going to see Crowded House. Standing in lines and then some more lines to get a prime spot for the show. Seeing all my friends get along, many of them meeting for the first time. Basking in the brilliant sun on a gorgeous day. Singing every song with Putzy (the first time I ever hung out with him we drove around in his car singing to CH songs). I never stopped smiling the entire show. And Eddie Vedder came out and sang with them! The day continued with more walking, more music, crowd battling- a long, full day that went from 9:30am to 9:30pm. Yeah, we were tired.

Sunday: Making breakfast leisurely with Supple and Marnacakes. Talking. Sharing. Reminiscing. Catching up. Having Hillz join us for the day to visit the Fremont Fair, then the Sculpture Park, dining at the Elysian Brewery and topping off the day with a successful thrift store visit. . . we managed to pack a lot into two and a half days. There was so much sun and drinking and smiling and good feeling.

I know I must say this often but seriously, I love my life. Just when I think it can’t get better, it does. But I need to go back to bed because having this much fun is exhausting!

“Still so young to travel so far/Old enough to know who you are/Wise enough to carry the scars/Without any blame, theres no one to blame/Easy to forget what you learn/Waiting for the thrill to return/Feeling your desire burn/As you’re drawn to the flame/When your seven worlds collide/Whenever I am by your side/And dust from a distant sun/Will shower over everyone…” -Distant Sun, Crowded House

I wish I would’ve seen Crowded House. We went yesterday b/c we really wanted to see The Frames (who were fantastic), but yeah, it was a loooooong day out in the sun — and where did the humidity come from? Glad you had such a great time with your friends:)

I knew you’d have a great concert experience. I felt the same way at the Pixies. My mouth hurt from smiling the whole time. And screaming. And dancing.

Ok- my mouth didn’t hurt from dancing!
