The Spot

What's better than front row centre at a Sloan concert?
Getting recognized by the band! My heart, my heart, she flutters like a bird in flight. It was a fabulous concert, no question about it. Lots of stuff from their new album, but all of my favorites too: I am the cancer, Coax me, If it feels good do it...
I sang my heart out, danced my heart out and smiled my face off. After the show I got to talk to the band, and Chris complemented me on my exhuberance :) I got him to sign my shirt and exacted his promise he would play my university next year.
But that was just the icing on a cake of a weekend. Thursday Meg and I celebrated our years at McGill with some choice friends. Choice because they bought us unlimited drinks. The night gets a little fuzzy around 12: I remember standing in front of the band in a circle, swaying slowly and singing "Farewell to NS" at the top of our lungs. Slept over at her house then headed off to the Paris household for Kill Bill 2 with Dan.
Friday: Scrivner party, started learning guitar a-la-Dan.
Saturday: Caleigh! [sp?] Well, kitchen party anyway. We made pancakes, I learned "Elenor Rigby" on the acoustic (!), lots of singing :)
After the Sloan concert I had a close encounter with Simon Kubski. Remember him? [Gabe might]. It's not that he's hot. It's not that he's sweetness itself. It's not that he remembered me from four years ago. It's all these things and the hug he gave me as we parted ways. What? Simon, flirting with moi? Too bad I'm leaving so soon, but what a boost for my ego!
Slept over at Aarren's [ooh, pretty] and now I'm relaxing at my grandmother's. I have to say, it was the perfect weekend, and now I miss it. I've gotta remember how all this happened, so's I can do it again in September.
For those of you who are locals... I'm coming home this weekend! Work doesn't start for a few weeks, so I'm visiting Mom for mother's day. Horray for loving mothers and their daughters :)
