Saturday night recap

Hold Tight! played here (twice!!) on Saturday! I was sooo amped for this show.

Bryan and I met up at his house and we drove over to No Coast for the first show. It was BYOB and fairly well-attended. I had never been to that place. I really liked it, as a space and also for the bands that played. There was a mini ramp in the back and that is where we stood for the first few bands. We went down to the front/ground floor for Haddonfields and Hold Tight!

I was excited for Hold Tight!, but I didn't purchase the new record prior and therefore didn't know any of the new songs. They did play most songs off the new record, but there were plenty of old jams.

After the show, I purchased the new record and spoke to everyone out on the street for a bit, then Bryan and I went to Firebird for Big Freedia, the queen diva dick eatta!! She is fucking STACKED! It was awesome! There were about 200 white folks booty dancing like their life depended on it. Girls in bras and panties up on the stage getting nasty. I am always curious if they can get down like that when it matters, or if this was just the alcohol. I'm sure its just the latter.

After Big Freedia, we went to Lemmon's for the late show. Missed Better Days, who were the special guest. I like them, but they play all the time, so I'll catch them next time. Then Pedals... played again, then Hold Tight! (different set!! more old songs!) I was up in the front freaking out. So much fun! I kept yelling for Tell Your Crush, but they didn't play it. Before I left, I said thank you to them for coming to play and see them next at Fest. They said you're welcome, thanks for coming out, etc, and sorry we didn't play your request! Hahaha!

Haddonfields closed out the night and Bryan and I got the eff outta there. We headed back to his house and went out onto the roof! There is a little wooden deck and we laid down next to each other looking up at the sky. It was a beautiful night, perfect temps, pleasant company. I actually fell asleep out there for a few minutes!

We came back in the house and it was mouths open until the sun came up. Goodness gracious I could kiss him all night (and I did!). I was still ragging, so nothing beyond petting/kissing. No complaints, though. I still want to be sure I'm not rushing into anything.

We walked to get food this afternoon and then I headed home. I wasn't feeling too well. Midly hungover/dehydrated. Plus, all I ate on Saturday was two Cliff Bars and some tater tots. Gross. The breakfast burrito was delicious, a little spicy. My lips were on fire.

Super excited about how much fun the shows were and how much fun I had with my new friend. I hope we can keep this ball rolling.
