11:19PM: Our Lady Peace!!

GREAT concert!! Went to work around 3PM. Rode my bike and
got a flat tire about half way, had to push it the rest of
the way. I sure felt like an idiot...not anything new. When
I got to work, SAM was there working!! But I thought he
quit three months ago, you might ask. Yes, he did. Ish quit
yesterday, so Sam, the lifer that he is, is working for
Rocky Mountain once again, helping to close the store. He
left when I got there, so I read for a few hours before
Levi got there to pick me up. I sent him back home to get
Kip and then we left. Got some food at Arby's and stopped
at a ghetto Turkey Hill so he could get cigarettes. Then we
headed to the Chameleon. Saw Jessie Rife almost right away,
already in line, so we cut and went up with her. Saw 10
million people I knew: Griff, Matt Newman, Lee Ackerman,
some older CV graduates from back in the day. We waited for
about an hour before this blue convertible comes driving
down the street and who's in it, but Mighty Mouse Chris,
who recognizes me and then yells "Frances" at the top of
his lungs. Charming. I was mad. We got in and got GREAT
spots, on the side balcony, right by the stage. Managed to
keep them for the entire opening set (which wasn't great,
some no name band...) Got pushed out of the way before OLP
even came on, so we gave up and found another spot.
Couldn't see anything, but the show was AWESOME! At one
point, Raine Maida climbed onto the second story balcony
where the bar is, sang an entire song up there, and then
jumped into the crowd. They played for almost 2 hours. Now
I'm home with no motivation to sleep...
