unafraid's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- meeting a friend, getting lost, finding my way home again wow. i can't believe i'm home...safe and sound at last. what an eventful day. so i go to work...nothing special happens there. like i seem to be having bad luck, but i try to brush it off. then kristin comes in at 1 and things are fine. i was supposed to go to see Drew's band in deep ellum with lindsay tonight, but Dan (neve fan and friend) called my cell phone to see if i'd take him to go see a band play somewhere else in deep ellum. of course i have NO clue on earth how to get to UNT...so i ask kristin and she gives me fairly simple directions. i follow these directions just fine...until i take a wrong exit and i end up in my OLD neighborhood in fort worth. but that's okay b/c i call trista and she tells me a much easier way to get to Denton from there. so i head in that direction and not too long after that...i see signs for UNT! so i call dan and tell him i'm there. i ask some students walking around how to get to his dorm and they tell me and i park. i go to dan's dorm and meet him for the first time. weird, but cool. like i've been talking to him online for over a year and this is just the first time we've met in person. it was fun. so we decide to head out to dallas for the show at this point. of course...i have NO clue how to get to dallas from denton. so i guess. well, first, it takes me like 10-15 minutes to actually get myself out of UNT! confusing. but then i finally find myself on some road and..i take it. of course i have no clue where it leads to. needless to say, i'm very LOST at this point, and very SCARED. so we eventually found a place to pull over and ask for directions. turns out that we're actually in Richardson. and i don't know where that even is. but we are told directions to get to dallas and we take off again. once in dallas, we pull over yet again to ask for directions to Deep Ellum. of course, i screw them up, but i find it by coincidence anyway! =) thank god. somehwere i semi-know!! i feel a little comforted by this. the band that is already on the stage is very...odd. like not my (or dan's) taste. way too slipknot-mudvayne-ish for me. too muching yelling. which i don't really beleive is music. anyway, so this band plays and they are semi-tolerable. then another band like them comes on. same thing. the lead singer just likes to use "fuck" way too much for his own good. so we stand and laugh. finally, Boy Hits Car comes onstage. very interesting. like they are sort of a little heavier than i like, but they just made it interesting. they dressed normal. they could sing. AND they actually used an acoustic guitar onstage. so luckily it was NOT like the last 2 performances! at one point during the show, the lead singer climbs onto the amp. THEN he grabs hold of the lights and hangs there. he swings his feet up there so he's just basically now hanging upside down by his feet, singing. interesting. and of course he falls into the crowd and is then on his way to the stage again. but i had just never seen it done. very cool. after words, dan goes to talk to him for a bit. he's a really nice guy. very laidback. dan gives him one of his cd's and tells him how BHC had some influence on the sound of Rabid Monkey (dan's band/solo project). so he took the cd single and stuck it in his pocket. then we left. somehow i managed to find my way back to Dan's dorm very easily. =) i am relieved at this. i got on to 35-N and just stayed on that all the way back to Denton. there were signs saying "Denton" so i felt like we were heading in the right direction. =) 3:28 am - Sept. 27, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
