jake’s grounded, and has the night of his life

So yes, Jake had his first concert ever last night, as I dragged him to see the Tea Party at Water Street. We got to the venue about 6:15, naturally, the tickets said doors at 7, so we didnt get in till 7:30… Got a barrier spot, down from Janet, Rick and Joe… the review will be up later, but pertinent to the blog… halfway through Halycon Days, JB breaks a stick, tosses it, and it goes nowhere. Well, the other one wasn’t far behind, and since he was perfectly front and center, Jake caught it! Beginners luck!! First show ever, and he gets a cushy barrier spot, doesn’t get touched, and catches a drumstick!! So after the show, I called up Karl and Kelley, who were hanging out with Sheldon and Matt at Empire… so Jake’s getting another first, a bar! Hehe… we sat around the pool table, I got Jake a beer (yeahyeahyeah, a ROOT BEER!) and then I get informed that there’s more friends in attendance: Karl’s friends Erin and Bethy, and their friends Ally and Jim, and the *other* Kevin, Kevin Rewkowski… (who *gasp* is old enough to be in Empire, legally! As opposed to Jake hehehe)… So we depart Empire for the other fabled hangout, Jay’s diner! We lost Bethy in the process, but the remaining 10 of us managed to create the usual ruckus, and somehow the waitress that put up with us got a $10 tip! (It’s ok, she deserved it, after dealing with us!) Me and Jake didnt get home till 3, the headlights stayed on the whole time, and I think he had a pretty good time hanging out with the *college crowd* heheheh!
Random: I just did a count of the bands I’ve seen the most times, and it sickens me that Velour/The Turnstones ended up ahead of Staind and Cold… blech.
Our Lady Peace – 13
The Tea Party – 12
Econoline Crush – 10
Velour / The Turnstones – 10 (so yeah, Karl, you were almost right!)
Staind – 9
Cold – 9
And everyone else isnt even close… 🙂
Current mood: Just kinda digesting breakfast…
song: Tragically Hip – Ultra Mundane
