A little late posting this but I was busy this weekend and never got around to posting it. Plus I had to upload and edit the pictures that I took from the concert. The Classic Crime was the first band that played. They are from Seattle and I thought they were awesome, Dustin really liked them as well. I didn't get very many pictures from them because I was still trying to figuer out the best place to take a picture and figuer out the lighting and all that mess. Here's their Pure Volume page so you can check them out. They are just getting started so they don't have a cd yet. They will continue touring this summer so catch them if you have the chance.

Well first was Scary Scary Kids or something like that but I didn't really like them much. And then it was my favorite ALLISTER! Samantha and I got to see them just a few months back at the El Torreon and the show was great but I have to admit, I liked this one much better even though it was a bigger venue, this time Scottie had cut his hair, thank god and I love seeing all the fans get into their songs, not to mention the Granada is an amazing space. They are in the middle of some construction but it didn't affect the show any. Allister played a nice mix of the old with the new. None of My Friends Are Punks made the line up thankfully, as well as Scratch, Radio Player, Somewhere Down on Fullerton, and Camouflage. All in all the show was great. We caught up with Kyle after their set and he seemed less than happy with the show because they couldn't hear themselves but all in all he said he had a kick ass time. No surprisde there. Kyle is one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. Regardless if you like the old and not the new or vice-versa it was all good. Dustin likes alot of the new songs and while he wasn't too farmiliar with the old, a good time was had by all.

Now as for Mest, I have heard a few of their songs. I even saw them at the Bottleneck with Fall Out Boy before Fall Out Boy made it big. But I think we ended up leaving early from the show and missing quite a bit from Mest. Dustin really wanted to see them even though he had never heard them before and little did we know that this is their last show. It was all fun and lots of laughs. These guys obviously know how to have a good time and are very friendly and tight with their fans. Since I didn't know any of their songs it was cool to see everyone get into their songs and it seemed like everyone was cutting loose. Girls were kicking the guys asses in the pit and were often rocking out harder than any guys I have seen at concerts. It was a great show and I have to admit I am sorry I missed them last time around and will be getting their cd's and rocking out all on my own . Well Dustin liked them too but he doesn't exactly rock out. :)

After the concert Dustin and I stopped into Buffalo Wild Wings (one of my favorites) and got some chicken strips with Spicy Garlic and Blue Cheese. Yummy Yummy Yummy. The drive back was fun, rocking out to Allister, wishing I had some Mest cd's and anxiously waiting the Classic Crime's cd. The rest of my weekend was spent with a sore throat a crappy cell phone that didn't charge and then getting my income tax return, paying bills and beging broke again. However I did get a couple of things for Samantha's baby shower, although yesterday after talking to her I honestly wish I had waited. I don't know whether her pregnancy hormones were raging or what but she was not happy with anything I said yesterday. You know it is almost impossible to be friends with someone when they are going through a bad relationship. It happened with Rose and now it is happening again with Samantha. Maybe they should just quit bitching to everyone if they don't want anyones opinion. No matter what someone says they get all pissed off about it when you are just trying to show support they get an attitude and yet if you told them to shut up and deal with it they would swear you never cared about them. This is the reason I hate women. I am tired of listening to 900 problems everyone else has and them being a bitch about it. We are far too old to be blaming our problems on everyone else. I have more problems than I can stand but I don't see anyone around that can help me with them so why bitch and fucking complain to everyone about something only I can fix? There isnt a point in doing that. When I am upset and depressed, yes I will find someone to cheer me up or listen but then its done. There isnt abother 899 times I will come at them and bitch and whine and complain to them about the same problem. Grr. You know, you just can't win. And if I lose another friend over stupid men shit, when all I am trying to do is tell them the truth, then fuck it. Cause I will not sit and listen to them cry over the same shit time and time again. If a guy treats me like shit, then why the fuck am I with him? Basically I weigh out the good and the bad and if I think I wouldn't be happy with them more than I would be sad with them then there you fucking go. It's fucking 2006 and I will not be someones mat to walk on. Been there done that, ain't fucking doing it again. Ugh! I am too old for this crap. And I have my own shit to worry about. And until everyone's attitude improves , just leave me the fuck out of it. lol. So that sums up my weekend. I hope this week will prove to be a better one. I will write later or tomorrow since tonight I am having dinner with Dustin and his mom.
