It was a really weird, random, booze-filled weekend. I feel like it flew by but I did so much. I met Heather and Angie at the 9:30 at 6:30 for the Matt Nathanson/Carbon Leaf show. Man we had such a good time. I love both of those girls to death and anytime we're hanging out around music it's just a ton of fun. My future husband Matt is so entertaining. You may remember him from previous posts (he opened for Tori Amos forever ago and more recently Pink). Everytime I see him I fall a little bit more in love with the guy. He's so funny and often crude in his between song banter (he read from a soft core porn novel a couple times during the show), but then his songs are full of love and wonderful sentiments that any girl would love to hear. I turned to Heather and said "I would have sex with him on that stage right now" and she smiled a bit and said "me too". Now, many of you don't know Heather, but let me tell you that comment is a testament to how gosh darn sexy My Matt is - I don't think in the 3+ years I've known her I've ever heard her talk about sex or making out or even kissing. Just saying. Carbon Leaf was fantastic as always. It was just a really good show. Ran into the ex at the end of the night and I'd had enough beer to pointedly and good naturedly say hello. We started talking and the next thing I know, Angie and I are hanging out with him and his friends at the pub across the street. Seriously if anyone had told me that he and I would be anywhere near enjoying each other's company I would have laughed at them. A lot. Anyways it was nice to hear some things he had to say to me and good to know neither of us hates the other.
Saturday I got to send this message to some friends: "At least you didn't wake up next to your ex-boyfriend who then walked with you to Whole Foods and bought the groceries for brunch with your friends who hate him because you left your card in a bar...." He was super cool when he didn't need to be and that's why I can never completely hate the guy. Yeah, he treated me poorly while we dated, but he has flashes of being this really great guy. WE ARE NOT GETTING BACK TOGETHER. Let me be really, really clear on that. But maybe we'll be able to be friends. We shall see. Given our track record it is quite doubtful but as always I am hopeful that people can change.
The girls came over for book club brunch which was exactly what I needed after my night/morning. I really love our book club. Sarah told us a story about coming home to find her husband wearing a medal around his neck. Evidently he won it in a fencing competition. Against 10 year olds. I can't do the story justice in the written form, but trust me when I tell you I am laughing while I type this. Towards the end of book club Agie got a call from her (our?) friend Cindy who is the sister of a guy in Good Charlotte. They were playing the 9:30 Saturday night and she was able to get us tickets at the last minute after having told us she couldn't. I was supposed to go to a reception for a friend of mine but the ride situation was getting sketchy and I was going to be one of four hundred. I figured since it wasn't the actual ceremony (no way I would ever blow one of those off - I always consider it an honor to be invited to a wedding) and since it was going to be such a huge reception I wouldn't be missed and I'd much rather take the two of them out for dinner after they get back from their honeymoon and congratulate them on a more personal level. Plus, I got them a really nice present. Does that count for anything?
The show was great. We went out for dinner with Cindy and her family after the concert thank goodness. Food was the only thing that saved me from feeling like complete death yesterday given that I'd been drinking for about 12 hours and had quite possibly been still buzzed when I woke up Saturday morning. I told you - total unplanned binge weekend. I'm detoxing for the rest of the month.
