Well Ashley,
to answer my celebration, (I have still not been accepted, so I can't really celebrate success) but on Tuesday night, my best bud and I, my concert bud, my jamming bud. We had tickets to go see one of our fav bands in Toronto, known as 'Hot Water Music'. I actually purchased a couple VIP tickets for us, (his birthday ways in September). We like some popular bads but we both stand by the bands who have been doing it forever and love doing it for their music a creativity.
They had a private session for the VIP guests, I think there were 10 of us, so we got to watch a few songs from the band with no one around, and then the bands came down, we shook hands, shot the **** for a bit. It was pretty neat, very humble down to earth guys.
We were early for the show so there was a pub next door, we went for a couple drinks, I had two dark ales over the course of three hours. I was more interested in watching the show, and singing to the words. I prefer abstinence, but having a slow steady 2 drink over three hours, well that's okay with me. It's funny, after the VIP meet and greet, one of the lead Singer/guitarist Chuck Ragan, walked into the pub, looking for a seat, walked by us after talking to the waitress and said "Hey Guys! long time no see!" it was fun.
I only mention the pints for the sake of mentioning the pints, but to be honest, it held no throught in my mind before the show during the pints, and then enjoying the concert. Everything else trumps the booze, hence why I had no need to drink at the show, and not just need, no want!
