stacy had to convince me several times over that Glenn really wouldn't mind if I crashed at his house, seeing as how we never met and he had just moved in and wasn't unpacked. But he really didn't mind, so it wasn't awkward or yucky at all. And he lives a quick bus ride to Harvard Square so I didn't have to worry about parking or a long ride or whatever. Yay!
So I got to Glenn's and first off they gave me some delicious PIE. I mean, I walked in and within five minutesstacy was all, "Have some pie." It has to be a good day when someone throws pie at you, you know? So I hung out with S and G for a while and alternated between having a secret club with G while S was in the shower, and having a secret girl club with S while G put his kitchen table together. His apartment is super cute and is the perfect size for one person, and super convenient to his job - great find.
Then I met up with Jodie and Tom in the Square and we could not decide on dinner (three indecisive people should never go out together). We tried a couple of places that were too packed and ended up at Grendel's Den and ate some sammiches while Tom coughed up a lung and I prayed to every god I could think of that I don't catch whatever it is he's stewing. Then we went to the show, which was in a small venue and was packed.
It hit me while I was there that I have been listening to Black 47 for something like 18 years now. (WTH? When did I get so OLD?) and that my first B47 show was 11.5 years ago, right after I turned 21 and could finally go into the bars. I must be getting older because the band (especially Larry) is starting to look really old.
I love Larry Kirwin because he reminds me SO much of Ryan (whod81). And of course I love Ryan. So the whole time I was thinking about R and also listening to some fun music. Apparently they have a new album coming out and the whole album seems to be about the war in Iraq. Not exactly the cheeriest stuff ever but they always make it /sound/ fun. Either way it was a good time except for the tall man in front of me who smelled really badly. Then I parted ways with J and T and got back on the bus, woke S up to let me back in, and camped out on G's living room floor. Not really the best sleep I've ever had but it was worth it.
We all got up in the morning and I think I got up first (I'm on Baby Time) and so I was playing a little DS. Both G /and/ S thought I had some sort of makeup case instead of a DS. (WTF? Ha ha) Either way, I played a little MySims and then everyone got up and we sort of lollygagged around until we were all starving and salivating about pancakes, so G remembered there was a diner a way down the road and I drove us all down there, and poor G had to smoosh in next to my gigantic car seat. (Sorry!) We talked and talked and talked and I likely annoyed them all to death and G got a headache and I took them home and took off. I was hoping to catchfolkyboy yesterday but he didn't answer the phone in the morning and by the time we got back from breakfast it was already about 12:45 so I thought it would be better if I just took off to save Jen from the baby.
Thank you so much to Glenn and Stacy for their hospitality (and PIE!!)! It was fun to see everyone and go out at night. The only thing that would have made it better is if I'd had my family with me. It's no fun hanging alone.
