we had no choice but to sing in the rain....

a lowlight of the weekend- a disguntingly drunk demin shirt wearing 40-something wanker who obviously doesn't engage in too many social encounters who yelled through the first ninety minutes of the ben harper show in michigan. i kindly asked him to shut it when ben had started his first encore, an acoustic solo set. a highlight of the weekend- his friends helping him to walk out of the show approximately two minutes after i asked him to be quiet.
a lowlight- the stupid wrath of ernesto hitting toronto the day of the ben harper show. i've never gone to a show at the amphitheatre in the rain like that. after toughing it out for just a tad over four hours, putting up with pruney fingers and saturated clothes we gave in to ernesto and headed home for some much needed hot chocolate.
a highlight- dancing in the rain and having jon do his best to keep me comfortable and somewhat dry. it didn't hurt that we had some really good music as a soundtrack for the night. wendals, my musical trooper made the night fun, no matter what the weather was doing. i can always count on her to make the bad stuff pretty freaking fun.
i can't think of any other lowlights but i've got a list of highlights:
- winning both rounds of "name that tune" against the self proclaimed champs, wendals and joshals. it was my first time playing so maybe it was just beginner's luck...but prolly not. heehehe.
- enjoying some rice crispies squares made lovingly by dk, aka mama keith. i can't remember the last time i had those.
- a wonderful, peaceful sleep after our night in the rain. there's something about the cool air and a warm bed that just makes your sleep that much better. thanks to jon for keeping me warm.
