Midnight In Her Eyes

So my concert night...

Plans: work during the day... pregame with friends... head to Summerfest and see Cage the Elephants, Florence + the Machine, and The Black Keys.

I had to work at noon.  I went in and told my boss I couldn't be there past 4pm because I had other obligations for the evening. He asked what, and I was honest.  He completely understood and let me go home at 2:30pm.  I was so pumped.  I got lunch after and grabbed a Dos Equis while watching Sweden kick the USA in the World Cup.  I no longer miss playing soccer.  Fuck playing in humid weather or dealing with bitches who get crazy about passing the damn ball.  So afterwards, I took the bus home who I sat behind a guy who was black with a giant wart on his neck, fucking sick... I just turned my ipod on louder and looked outside jamming to The Strokes and The Hives.   Can't go wrong with either.  I got home and took a cold shower because I can't stand fucking heat or my long ass hair drying in it.  I need a hair cut.  Anyway, my friend Emily arrives while I am still in my towel.  I dress as we crack a beer and wait for others to arrive.  She tells me about a dude I sort of introduced her too and how she's crazy about him.  Can't help I'm a good love maker.  It's a fucking talent, and I'm good at it.  I rarely ever fail!  So finally a few of my other friends arrived and we pregamed... played fuck pyramid and key hold beers on my porch like we are in high school again.  We jammed and got prepared.  I was tipsy by the time we left, not to mentioned my friends made me drink a few Jim Beam and cokes (the devil comes out with whiskey). We called a cab... he was Arab... big surprise...

Finally we arrive at the Summerfest grounds... we went in and bought a few beers.  We got there while Cage the Elephant were performing... I don't care for them as much as the other two.  I told a couple of my friends to go in as my other ones and I stood outside enjoying the sunset and realizing we are going to see THE BLACK KEYS in less than an hour!  We were so stoked.  We were hugging with excitement running through out blood.  So we finally get in and see a few songs by the first band... time passes and finally Florence + the Machine....  'Howl' was the song they started with... my favorite song they perform.  I was so drunk at this time, I introduced myself to the people in front and behind us and told them to fucking prepare for madness because I was ready to dance like a damn hippie at 1969 Woodstock, and you bet your ass I did!  I was so pumped.  Florence didn't even come out for a couple minutes.  The band jingled away, and she finally came out in a maroon flowing dress that was angelical.  I cried.  I was so ecstatic.  I have a lesbian crush on her hands down.  She's only 24 and rocks out like a Goddess with some HOT hair!  My friend turned to me and said, "I'm more entertained by your excitement than the band itself."  I was so beyond pumped.  The band was beautiful.  They rocked every song better than their cd, and I highly recommend seeing them live.  'Dog Days Are Over', they got the crowd really into it, and their harp player rocked the whole concert!  Florence pounded on her drum :)

Intermission happened, and I had to piss like a damn race horse but the lines were like a damn Walmart introducing the new Harry Potter or Black Friday all over again.  I called the man I'm dreaming about while I was standing in line, which only made me smile even more.  He's amazing!  ;)

I finally get back into the concert, and The Black Keys were already out... I was walking to my seats alone, stopped, and screamed.  A dream came true tonight for this chick.  Daniel and Patrick fucking rocked it!  I got to my seat with my friend handing me another beer to quench the thirst.  We jammed the rest of the night away and sang on the top of our lungs.  The Black Keys blew me out of the water!  More amazing live than I imagined, which freakin rocks!  That's the way it should work.  Their lights were mainly black and white, which sticks to their signature look, but they added a few other colors to entertain.  They invited other instrumentalists out to play with them for some songs, and they also had an encore!  They played every song I wanted to hear.  AMAZING!  Half way through this concert, I realized one of my friends went missing only to find out she left her ticket with one of us so she went home to her boyfriend instead of calling us to get in again.  She freaking missed out!  Go see the Black Keys if you ever get a chance!  AMAZING!

After the concert, we met up with a couple other friends and reminisced about the concert.  What was your favorite song and vice versa.  We grabbed some pizza, and at this exact moment I realized I was shitfaced.  I thought I lost my purse, camera, and phone, which was on my arm the whole time.  We walked back to my friends car who was sober (thank God), and at this moment I drunk dialed a few people... opps.  I peed in an field. Then, we walked by a man who I thought was standing over a body!  Emily thought it was a horse (it was super dark out), then she yelled out it was a monster, and I somehow took this further and said he murdered someone...  it was just a guy riding his bike stopping to pee. HAHA, but Emily and I took our shoes off and booked it.  I didn't know what to do.  It's not everyday you find someone standing over someone still in the middle of a freaking field, then waking up the next day realizing it was just a man peeing next to his bike!  God, I was drunk!  We went to a bar and found some friends.  I fell and busted up my knee hugging a friend.  I also found my hand bloody... no clue how.  It hurts like Steve Carrel getting waxed in 40 Year Old Virgin. I drank more beer to concur the pain... $2 taps at Yield!  I don't even give a shit that my hand was bleeding nor the fact my knee is bruised up today... I saw Florence + the Machine, and The Black Keys!!!  A DREAM FUCKING COME TRUE!  <3         p.s. I wasn't even hungover today... Thank Goodness :)
