and i decided very last minute to head up to austin on friday for sxsw to catch versaemerge.
my brother and i drove up and met up with liz and rosey. of course my dumbass only had the information from myspace and i didnt know that their set was semi exclusive.
we had to sign up online to be on the guest list. well i did it last minute so i guess it never went through so when i got in i kind of begged the girl to let me and chano(my brother) in. she did and i was beyond excited. got to get up front and take pictures...(note: id post my pics but i left my camera in the hotel, luckily liz grabbed it for me)
their set was small but worth every bit of the driving up there. im glad i went i wouldve regretted it, had i not gone.
after their set we got to meet 3/5th's of the band.
we got to talk to sierra jerry and of course as said in a different blog my favorite blake haha. they were all very sweet. sierra was like a friend jerry was crazy and hyper and blake was very humble. i wasnt planning on going to warped tour BUT seeing as they are on the line-up this year i think i will go.
sierra
jerry
blake :D <3
after that we walked around 6th street.
i can honestly say i didnt see what all the hype was about. maybe its because im not a drinker so being on a street filled with bars wasnt for me. plus it was filled with tons of drunks and bums...no offense to the bums.
came back home on saturday and had a pre-bday dinner with mirta,bonnie,albert and crystal met us up there a little after. house of china may not be the ideal bday dinner but when its close friends and comfort food anything works.
soon after dinner we went with crystal to one of her friends bday party. a little uncomfortable but still fun. her friends are very funny and sweet. a little before midnight aka my bday we left party to have a little car celebration for mine.( i havent had a proper bday with my friends, so anything was better than nothing) the clock struck 12 and they all screamed happy birthday in the car it was loud and albert started tickling me. of course what did we do right after. go drive around to find the scary street we drove through once in high school after alberts bday party years ago. that street was creepy then but this time around it wasnt at all. they finally put up lights on the streets and actually made it a street instead of the dirt road it used to be so it wasnt scary. although we did have a few moments of freaking out...at least i did.
sunday morning, of my bday my family and i went to have breakfast and then we went to the flea market where i found 2 pairs of vintage sunnies and a "belle" doll from the movie "beauty and the beast" so i was happy. of course i had to work that day but overall the weekend was awesome. probably one of my favorite bdays in a long time.
so yesterday and today i had jury duty/selection.
i didnt get picked at all for a trial but still the whole process was horrible i dont ever want to do that again. i think im leaving the country or something just so i wont ever have to do that again.
had it been something cool like serial mom, then i wouldve been all for it. haha
back to work tomorrow. i dont think ive ever been happy to say this but thank god lol
goodnight chickadees
OH PS...
i got my 1st tattoo going on 2 fridays ago. i still cant believe i did it.
it honestly was out of pure boredom because i didnt want to spend my money on movies so i went out and got a tattoo that i had been planning on doing since sr. year of high school.
