Awesome Band

I’ve been waitressing this summer at a live music venue called The Hub.  It’s a fun little place, with great bosses/owners and a fun staff of bartenders, waitresses and door guys.  Woot woot for making me feel 22 years old again.  I spent last night doing shots and drinking beer for an hour after close with one of the bartenders and one of the owners.  It’s a good time.

Last night there was a band called Mike Butterworth and the Heroes, made up of a couple members of The Nadas.  They were fine.  They are not the point of the story.

Handsome fellas.

The opening act… was awesome.  They are called Pictures of Then.  They’re a Minneapolis-based band made up of 5 delightful men.  I spent the early part of the night watching the Twins game with them, they put on a bitchin’ indie rock show and then we all went to after hours and they jammed out to stuff I know so I could sing along.  They want me to sit in with them the next time they’re in town.  Be sure and check them out at the link above.

Facebook Stalker

I was friended on Facebook recently by a young man named Marcelo.  When I asked if I knew him, he said no but that he would like to get to know me.  I did not respond, nor did I friend him.  Today, this happened:

He says, “HOLA…mi nonbre es marcelo y y soy de santiago de chile y me encantaria poder ser tu amigo y compartir grandes cosas y aventuras…mi correo electronico es [redacted] un beso y cuidate. ahh eres maravillosa…un angel.”

My rudimentary Spanish tells me he says, “Hi, my name is Marcelo, I am from Santiago, Chile. I would love to be your friend and share large things [ed.’s note: woo woo?] and adventures. My email is [redacted]. A kiss and take care. You are marvelous, an angel.”

Well… that’s nice.

Vegas

Vegas is insane.  I drank and watched basketball in a sportsbook for 13.5 hours, then hit up the Wynn for a seafood buffet and some gamblin.’  I got adopted by some really nice fellas from Arizona and we’re meeting up again tomorrow.  Sleep now.
