Woke up this morning at a gas station, somewhere in Maryland, where we almost left Tender.. OOPS.
We get to the hotel with enough time.. to not go in. We head to the venue where we are in a HUGE hurry to get set up and finished with soundcheck, as we have reservations for CRAB MOTHERFUCKIN DINNER tonight.. with the whole band and Danny's family! How rock n roll.
The sound guy at Bourbon St in Baltimore is taking FOREVER, so Taime starts getting agitated.. we are NOT missing our epic dinner!
After going thru the ghetto of Baltimore, which has fucking LA traffic.. yeah, I'm on the other coast and I still can't escape LA.. and finally I see it.. It's a huge lighthouse with neons reading "BO BROOKS" down the front.. the band has been talking up this place ALL DAMN DAY, so I'm expecting heaven on a plate.
We decide to all go in on a ton of crabs (24, to be exact) and I get a Crab Knife Cocktail, consisting of Sweet Tea Vodka and Pink Lemonade.. YUM.
We order a ton of apps and finally Danny and Family show up..
Momma Tender is pretty amazing, she got Danny a furry coat thats a bit too small, so I'll be rockin it..
Another friend of the band, Rachel, shows up.. she's from JAAAh-sey.
We got crab dip, crab-cheese covered pretzel, and scallops with lump crab on top.. OMFG NOMNOMNOM.
I switch up to an Oktoberfest that compliments the crab well..mmmmmmm....
(you're getting hungry now arent you!)
Some oysters arrive.. yuck..
Then.. they bring out the tray.. with 12 crabs.. and dump them on either side of the table..OMFG!!!
Chad instructs me on how to destroy this crab.. and it is FUCKING EPICALLY DELICIOUS!! That's a lot of work though!!
After making a horrible mess and looking like a 3 year old with a plate of spaghetti-os.. yeah, you have seen pics of yourself at that age.. stuff all over your face, clothes.. etc.. yeah, I KILLED 2 crabs. And they were delicious Maryland Blue crabs.. FUCKYEAH.
Finally we haul ass back to the venue, where I proceed to sit in front of my heater and upload pix while the openers are on.. I'm rocking this rad vintage coat that Momma Tender bought for Tender.. its so amazingly furry, it's wonderful!!!
The boys didn't get a soundcheck, so a quick line check before they go on..
Got a chance to video a couple songs, for the first time.
Finally, we load out in the freezing cold, I'm intelligent enough to be wearing a skirt.. yeah. Chad argues with me over helping carry an amp case, but I help because I wanna get the fuck to the hotel!
Finally, we make it back to the hotel, and hang out for a bit. Friend of the band Joe hangs out for a bit, and watches the entertainment ensue.. Ace is having a good time, I think at about 4 am we decide to call Jizzy Pearl. hahah!
Finally, I get to sleep in a real bed!
