I'm Totally Buying a Boat Immediatado


Last night was The Samples show. It was on a boat. Boats are the coolest thing ever. They played Did You Ever Look So Nice and Little Silver Ring. The Samples are such a great band. Their sound quality is always exactly the same (perfect). I'm thinking of wuitting my job and going on tour with them. There's all kinds of happiness and love coming from them. The crwod was the same; all kinds of happy-go-lucky people who weren't all bitter and angry (or at least checked it at the dock) it was refreshing to cruise around the harbor and not have people scream anti-American sentiments while we past the Statue of Liberty.

Before the show, I met Tim for a drink. I've been having a really hard time normal as of late, so I'm quite certain I freaked him out. Then we met Jamie, walked to the pier and talked about the Penthouse Club.

Then I had four Vodkas.

We took pictures of eachother on the boat and thanked one another over and over for being cool enough to apreciate all the great things the nyc has to offer in the way of boats. Then I cried cause I didn't win the lottery. I feel like there was dancing involved.

We met the lead singer and I said something really silly like "Hey, I saw you in Nashville last summer. It was great." I was hoping that by throwing in the Nashville part he would see that I was a devoted fan and be like "Wow I can't believe you were there...that's awsome..." But not so. Whatevs.

After, we went for beers and I'm quite sure I was talking nonsense the whole time. I did however put on the best three songs ever put together for a juke-box selection. One of them was Mother Popcorn. I can't remember the other two but the bartender and the general public were really impressed.

Tonight's The Stills play a free show in Battery Park. Clearly, I'll be there.

I saw the Samples play recently too. They were opening for my favorite band: The Sassy Meat Curtains.

BTW, there is no need to buy drink tickets on those boats, the bartenders don't even take them.

They took my drink tickets. Bastards. AND I tipped them. Foolish.
