Is there anything better for the 30+ late nighter than VH1?  I’m watching the old 80’s videos right now and laughing my butt off as I sing at the top of my lungs.  Good thing the kids are sound sleepers and hubby is at work.  I LOVE the 80’s!  Bring them back.  I’ll do the punk side head haircut.  I’ll embarrass the heck out of my daughter as I go more punk than she can ever hope.  As I use my hot topic discount on myself and not her.  lmao

I suppose the problem is I should go to bed.  But this music just gets me revved up to work more.  lol  I blame VH1 for my lack of sleep tonight and my rambling.  You can emal annd complain to them.  For example, the butt hole surfers are on.  When is the last time you heard them on the radio, let alone saw their video?  AHHHHHHH, FLEA is on the video!

I LOVE THE 80’s as only a product of them could!  Cheesy videos galore.  :)  roflmao

See I told you I was behind in posts. I’ve got some other goodies to post about too. Personal bitches mostly, can’t believe I didn’t do it already. Show’s just how much it bothered me. Anyway, that’s not what this is about!

So KISW the only rock station in the world put out my weekly newsletter and there was an early invite to buy tickets for Pain in the Grass 2007. Hmm, never heard of it, but hey, Godsmack is headlining, it’s gotta be good. I run to the early buy website and holy crap, the tickets are only $25 a piece and there was a $6 surcharge for both tickets. That’s it! No ticketbastard charges for the facility, fee charges and then tax on top of all that. Nope, it was $56 for both tickets. That in itself freakin’ rocks no matter who was going to be in concert.

But stay with me here, I said it was Godsmack headlining. Can you believe it? Outdoor concert on Aug. 11th (saturday) and Godsmack is headlining. Doesn’t matter who the other 7 bands are that will be playing. Oh btw, it’s a good spot to tell you that I could have bought $100 tickets to be up front, but I thought that was a little much.

Hubby and I are taking the kids to the lake last tuesday and they announced the other bands. MOTHER FUCKER, my beloved Buckcherry is playing. yes, I’m kicking myself for not spending the $100 per ticket of hubbies money now. bahahahaha, but you can believe I will be down in front. Some how, some way, I will be down there by Keith! No, not Josh Todd the lead vocals, I want Keith Nelson the lead guitar. I’ve always had a thing for the guitar.

Hubby has the entire day planned out. We will go to breakfast and then go out to the concert asap. It starts at 1, but every band that is playing we like. This is a kick ass concert. Oh and the now retired candlebox will be playing as well. Local boys have to play of course. So be jealous and wait for my lengthy posts about the concert in Aug. It’s going to be crazy. We already know we are getting a hotel room and a cab. There is only one nice hotel in Tacoma so we better see some of the boys there! YAHOOO baby, can you even wait for the crazy posts coming next month?

Well I am going to miss this years gala. I’m super, uper bummed about it. But alas, it can’t be helped. Hubby and I haven’t gotten away together in over 2 years now because of our schooling and we have to do it. Of course, once we plan our weekend, www.kisw.com plans the rock girl gala. FUCKERS!

Then, to make matters worse, they bring in Puddle of Mud as the headliner. Hmm, is it worth the argument? Hmm, is it worth me replanning and fighting? May be. That was one of the first cd’s the kids bought me for a gift and they aren’t very old. lmao They were really young when they told Daddy that I wanted that cd. lol They are such good kids!

So I will miss the gala. Yes, I will. It will be ok. I will pout on here and I will seriously bitch after I have to hear about it from the dj’s. But alas. I am running away for a naked weekend with my hubby. Nothing but shopping and wine tasting. I just want the best of both worlds. But I’ll pick him anyday.

Well here’s the latest scoop I heard today. I really need to go subscribe to the site. Or even visit the damn site. lmao

But the news just gets better and better. Despite our rain, you really should live in Seattle. We get great music stuff here. Lot’s of bands come around and play the little clubs. But I’m digressing.

So here’s the newest scoop for you all to be jealous of. Not only is it opening here, less than 12 miles from my HOUSE! But a second show will be over at the Gorge on Sat. night!!! HOLY CRAP! July 14th at the Gorge? That’s gonna be freakin amazing. Now I’m not sure which show to get to. We’ve got to stay the night if we head to the Gorge. So guess I better start working on people that own campers to go with us.

WOW, it’s gonna be an awesome concert summer. I can tell!

EDITED: Well it’s not a rumor. I just went to the site and it’s official. The first 2 dates are up here in WA. Now we just need to find out when the damn tickets will be out and how in the world we are going to get them.

Alright, it better be fucking official soon! This afternoon I caught a quick trailer commercial that not only do they have dates (not official) but those “dates” changed and they are no longer going to start out in CA like planned.

But they will kick off right here in mother-fuckin-washington!!! OMG, if that happens it will easily be the best concert ever. To kick off the whole damn concert series! Are you kidding me! And this year it is free! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You better believe I’ve already booked the tentative date off my calendar and the friday after. roflmao Umm, Mom, you can watch the kids right?

Good grief I need to get to a concert soon. I’m dieing. Daughter and I are going to see my favorite Gwennie on June 16th. That is going to be incredible. There are never Sat. or Fri. night concerts here anymore. So I’m gonna get us a hotel room and we are going to party all night. My good friend and her daughter (our daughters are good friends) are going with us. But I’m getting a room for just the two of us. We are going to do this right. BTW, the concert is like 14 miles away. lmao But it’s the experience man, not the point that the hotel is farther away than our house. Don’t bring me down!
