TSO is too much metal for one hand.

Holy moly. I demand everyone get online immediately and check tour dates for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and find the one near you, i would drive as far as 150 miles even, and you go see them. even the cheap seats are awesome. it is the coolest thing i've ever seen. it really was like a metal concert with classical music. never in my life have i heard the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and felt so compelled to throw my bra onstage.

We had nose-bleed seats, but I honestly dont think it takes away from the show, you give up getting to see the band up close, but you get an all encompassing view of the laser show and pyrotechnics. i have never before seen a show with both fire and real snow. and it was twelve kinds of badass. the best way i can explain it in andrea-terms would be to take sebastian bach from skid row, joe perry from aerosmith, meatloaf, james earl jones (imagining that he can sing), eddie veddar, and the chick who i remember watching play Classical Gas on youtube, with about 10 other people putting on a melt-your-face-off rock show set to your favorite christmas classics. twelve points!

and my weekend with the whites, was, as always, a fun time. we got everything finished for the wedding exactly 12 hrs before it began, that being 2:30 in the morning. and the wedding was great and the reception was great. during shainna's wedding this past june, i decided that weddings arent so bad afterall, that it can be fun to celebrate the love of your friends. so i had a good time dancing and being a general party-goer with kellie and my future ex-husband. i once again, as always, ran away when the bouquet tossing time came, but i have promised kellie that when she gets married in june, i will at least stand there in the general area of other people who are going to try to catch it much more intensely than i will. thats a big step up though, right?

needless to say, now that i'm back in rainy, dreary, cold morgantown, i am sad and tired. at least my dog is back although she must have had a long week bc she's been asleep on my feet since we got back.

also, if anyone will be in morgantown on thanksgiving and would like to have a non-traditional dinner, you're invited. i'm not going home that day (long story) so i'm going to sleep in and then fulfill another of my goals of making something in the crock pot. i think i will make moms vegetable soup. it sounds really good. so yeah. if any of you will be here, you're more than welcome to join me and the dog.
