Past week has been good. Went to Philly for the first time to see Bruce Springsteen. Our bus driver's name was Wogget. Had serious awkward moments with the Big Man, drank way too much coffee, wrote my art history paper on the bus ride home.
Owen had Oompa Loompas serving cake at his birthday. Never thought I'd be able to say I was served cake by an oompa loompa but clearly anything is possible.
Realized how much work I have to do, want to throw my body out of a window.
Yesterday Emma took photoz of me and Caitlin looking creepy but the photos will no doubt be awesome.
It has been Styrofoam snowing in my neighborhood because of construction.
Saw No Age last night, it was awesome. Soft Circle are so good too. Alison got her head kicked and had blood everywhere...pretty ROCKNROLLLLL if you ask me (ah ha ha...). BV's internet is currently on the fritz so the photos haven't gone up yet but hopefully soon! Met the guy that made pitchfork, random. A guy from The Mummies emailed me (I freaked out, still sort of am)
Had a photoshoot with Dinowalrus tonight, it was good. It is too cold to live right now. I should probably be writing my paper?
here are some photos of my design project from last week:
Caitlin brought me to Bruce Springsteen again tonight at Giant's Stadium (last show there evaaaar, because they are tearing it down with a "wrecking ball").
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT/MY LIFE (que the serious name dropping, sorry...I know but ohmygod): - Watched sound check from the stage - Had a conversation with Bruce and Caitlin after sound check about random things + writing Darkness on the Edge of Town (like actually oh my god) - Got a kiss on the cheek from Bruce (OH MY GOD) - Delicious food at catering (best cheesecake of my life) - Drinking the most coffee I have ever had in my life (I do not drink coffee) - Getting one cup of coffee next to Chris Martin (don't hate, you know you like Coldplay too) - Dancing next to Matt Damon - Seeing Tom Colicchio - "Wrecking Ball" still being the best song Bruce has written in forever - Seeing Clarence ride up to the stage in the "Temple of Soul TO GO!" golf cart
Bruce Springsteen is the nicest man in the world and I can't wait for the Philly show + MSG + Baltimore!
CAITLIN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME BRINGING ME TO THESE SHOWS, THNX GURL LOVE U <3 (No but seriously, I had been in such a weird, awful mood this past month and going to these shows has honestly made me so happy).
Also thank you to her awesome cousin Lenny for getting me the passes!
Don't have the photographer's name on me at the moment but it was Todd something or something Todd...
Hayden on our gallery day
Todd something or something Todd (again) Love this shit
WAIIITING ON A SUNNY DAAAY Edgar Esser (I believe?) These photos were incredible! Side stage for Bruce 1st night Sam Basset photos in some store. Where is the video he took of me? lolz JkKkk (not really)
There is a reason they call him that and I just figured it out tonight! Caitlin brought me to my first Bruce Springsteen show tonight at Giant's Stadium. We took the train out to the Meadowlands and met up with Caitlin's cousin. He got me a backstage pass which was SO awesome and really great of him (I literally had the best time tonight). Caitlin gave me the grand tour and we visited Cindy from the E Street Band in her dressing room while she was getting ready for the show. Caitlin gave her some shirts she made for her and she loved them (NO BIG DEAL). She is hilarious and I'm going to wear my matching shirt next time I go to the show. She complimented my hair too? Hahha...
Anywho then we went over to catering and had some of the best cheese cake we've ever had...then explored backstage, around the stage, sides of the stage...etc. Actually some of the most amazing stuff I have ever seen. There were so many people there!
The show was probably the best concert I have ever been to, which is saying something. Three hours non stop! And I didn't get sick of it once...(which is pretty rare, I usually get sick of a show and wish for it to be over towards the middle of it). Bruce played all of Darkness on the Edge of Town + a million other things. Also did a cover of Jailhouse Rock. Sounded pretty good for it being unrehearsed!
My favorite of the night was Prove It All Night. It sounded amazing...and so did Rosalita obvyyyyy! They had fireworks and everything. Ugh love it.
Jeremy Piven was leaving the bathroom as we were going towards it and he was zippering his pants and made a face at us like, "THAT BATHROOM IS AWFUL." Later we saw him in the crowd and watched people take stalker photos of him. Then when we were getting ready to leave he was dancing by himself, pelvic thrusting. He pelvic thrusted in my face. NIIIIIIICE HIGHHHLIGHT OF DA NITEEE~*~
As we were leaving Bruce saw Caitlin and called her out and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Um ridiculous much?! All the super fans were jealous. I got a wave from him because well, uh he doesn't know me and that would just be weird.
Seriously I am ready to see him a million more times after tonight. Officially converted. THANKS, CAITLIN!
The only thing I was sad about was that he did not play "Cover Me"
(also I took some film shots with my new slim black devil camera, when i develop those i'll scan them!)
ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION WE RODE IN THE ELEVATOR WITH MAX WEINBERG
