I Am No Drunk: Like the Good Ol' Days

Yesterday, Lalaine and I went to
see New Found Glory at Tower
Records in Mountain View. They
were doing a signing over there
and we figured we would go
since it was so simple to meet
them. It was a wait in line until
you get to the table to meet them
kind of deal. In the beginning, we
weren't that excited because we
knew that it was just going to go
by and we weren't going to say
anything to them. Like what the
heck do you say to people that
you don't really know? Sure,
they're in a band and there
could be plenty of questions you
can ask about their new album
or something. Still, sometimes
you feel weird for asking such
questions. NFG's a well-known
band, but they're really easy-
going and approachable. What
I like most about them is that
they're just like their fans. They
come out to hang out with them
after shows. One of the nicest
group of fellas in their industry.
Their sense of humor is also a
plus in my book. Hilarious!

So, when Lalaine and I were
looking for the place, we got
so lost that Lalaine was start-
ing to get a little road rage
out. It turned out that the
Tower Records was so much
closer to the beginning of the
last road we turned on than
where we ended up. The funny
thing was that it also ended up
being at the same area as the
place I was making comments
about. There was a restaurant
named "La Salsa" and I kept
saying the name in weird ways,
so Lalaine and I kept laughing
as we passed through it. So, I'm
blaming "La Salsa" for distract-
ing us. Haha. Kidding.

Meeting the band was an okay
experience. It was just like I
expected it to be. It was quick
and I didn't even really say
much. There was this fool who
hecka cut me right when we
were at the table though. I
was pissed because he talked
so much that he stole my
thunder. All of the guys were
paying attention to him and
I was just there standing next
to him waiting for them to sign
my CD. I really wanted to tell
him to shut up, but I didn't
have the guts to do it. He
ruined my moment. Lalaine
had better times. She took
pictures of and with them.
Hey, and they even said her
name right, which is a big
thing to her. I'm not deva-
stated or anything. At least
I accomplished one thing: I
made Chad (guitarist) laugh.
Yes! Points for me! It's a big
deal because their humor is
so outrageous, I didn't think
I could be a person to set off
his haha's. Overall, it was fun
seeing and meeting NFG again.
