You can never fully appreciate how large a lesbian population your area has until you have been to a Melissa Etheridge concert, I think.
The concert was great. I'm not extremely familiar w/ ME's music, but Jade made me listen to her latest album, "Lucky" (which I have enjoyed a lot), so at least I did recognize many of the songs. Melissa was really great -- there's nothing like seeing an artist live to be able to fully appreciate their talent -- but part of it was her kickass band. Her lead guitarist, OMG. Normally I'm not a gal who's into guitarists, I'm more of a drummer girl, but this guy was crazy amazing. His name's Philip Sayce, and on top of being fantastically talented ... from where we were sitting, he reminded me of Jason Lewis (aka Smith Jarrod from S&tC). *wipes drool*
We sat through most of the concert -- mostly because our section was full of staid people who didn't stand -- but during the encore we stood ... and was immediately told to sit down by the lameass people behind us. Hello, we were sitting down throughout the entire concert (which was fine, since most of ME's songs personally do not inspire me to rock out/dance), but can't you get your lazy ass up for the encore? Jeebus. We would have told them off (as I did during a No Doubt concert), except no one else in our particular section was standing, so it wasn't worth it. Still, there was fuming about lameass people who go to rock concerts and sit as if they're at the opera. ME didn't say anything about it, or else we might have felt more empowered ... like when I saw Green Day and Billie Joe was yelling at people, "What do you think this is, a fucking tea party??? Stand the hell up!" Gawd I love that Billie Joe.
Speaking of S&tC (up there), it was the coolest thing -- we saw Charlotte's dog!!!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ropo got some great pictures of it. I'd never seen a dog like that (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) until the show, and then we randomly saw one and she looked just like Elizabeth Taylor! However, the ET we saw did not get gangbanged in the park. <g> Here's pic #1, and pic #2.
Tomorrow we're meeting up withleiliaxf to watch The Manchurian Candidate and Garden State, after our facials/massages.
I'm good with all of this -- especially the Minister of Magic part -- except for the Anteater Patronus. WTF kind of Patronus is that?!

You left the most interesting part out!

Date: 2004-08-27 07:06 pm (UTC)You are wandering close to the Forbidden Forest to meet *insert character here* for some *insert insertion here* when - GASP - out of nowhere comes a Dementor. You are scared. Your beloved is scared. And cold, really cold. And we all know what that can cause. You bravely whip out your wand *insert snickering here* and shout "Expecto Patronum". Out pops a silvery anteater. It stares at the Dementor and then waves it's long sticky tongue in a threatening manner. As all Dementors are secretly hygiene freaks, the Dementor is totally terrified and floats for its life. You and your ANTEATER OF DOOM have saved the day, all is well, and you can return to your illicit *again with the insertion*.
Or at least that's how it happens in my head. Of course, I saw mine and started imagining TEACUP POODLES...OF DOOOOOOOOM. ~EV

Date: 2004-08-27 07:48 pm (UTC)Wait, your patronus has a long tongue, sucks things up and comes out of your wand as a silvery, whitish thing. What the hell? Oh, you're such a whore.

Also, re: the pics, it's important to note that our Elizabeth wouldn't stand still, and is therefore blurry. I will obviously never be much of an animal photographer, except for my cats, who are so lazy they sit still all the time.
