The Steelers!
Ok, you don't ever want to see me watch a Steelers game.
Serious.
I've been a Steelers fan since 2005 when a friend and I were pretty much forced into watching Football every sunday and monday night.
One day I saw Ben Roethlisberger run across the screen and do his thing, I was instantly hooked.
He is awesome.
Hands down.
Do I watch football any other time?
No, not really.
If it's on, maybe.
But only really for the Steelers.

I miss a lot of people and things places times.
Ms.Stina who was my favorite person to visit on my lunch at the mall. She and her boyfriend let me crash at their house for a month or so. They're two truly un-believable people. We went to eat pizza at Davids Pizza almost every other day. Pepperoni and Pineapple. I haven't had it since they moved to Long Beach in June and I am having withdrawls so I…

Saw The Academy Is... again yesterday in SF which was as unplanned as we could get.
Dana stood in line to hold a spot as I waited in another line for tickets.

Let me say this and put some of your little minds to rest.
The guys in TAI and all of their road crew are nothing but the most genuinley sincere people you could ever meet in your life.

The show was pretty rocktastic seeing as they were at the Warfield and it was more bang for your buck with the killer lightshow going on behind their huge banner behind them as they played.
Their stage presence was undoubtedly felt through the entire theatre up to the balcony and then some.
I saw Brand New at the Warfrield earlier this year and they didn't even compare the the intesity of the performance that TAI gave off lastnight.
Seeing them at the Empire in Sac which was…

so lastnight was great.
i am way too tired for my own good and i have work from 3-11:30pm tonight.
tomorrow is the day off so that is awesome.



greeley estates and their tour manager d-bo were awesome and a half.
total rockstar energy onstage, total "take home to meet the parents" offstage.
they were so nice to everyone on the empire crew.



at the end of the night i asked ryan of greeley estates if i could snap a photo of him and he offered to go get the rest of band.

i ended up with only three members but it's all good.

never have i met a band so willing to be photographed after the show without stage clothes, and not so freshened up.

they all looked good though :)
