After a few tall ones at The Flying Saucer downtown, I met up with Mike for the Puddle of Mud, Nickelback, and 3 Doors Down concert. I can't say that I'm necessarily a fan, but he offered the free ticket and the seats were great, so I was down with it. We had a good time and I enjoyed the music. Nickelback definitely upstaged the other bands by a huge margin. They completely tore the roof off the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion with old school rock antics including throwing gallons of beer into the crowd, lots of pyrotechnics, walls of fire, and even some Metallica covers. Of course, they are mere children compared to my man Vaden, but for a over produced radio whoring band, they rocked the house... all ~20,000 of them. So after the show we drank... a lot. Well, we drank during the show, but since you can't get straight Crown Royal at the little Pavilion kiosks, we had to move to greener pastures. This morning, EL and I went to buy a lawn hedge trimmer. We went to Lowe's and selected the model we wanted, paid, and left. When we got home, I went to change clothes... throw on some grubbies to get sweaty in the yard in... she opened the box. Un-fucking-real. Someone had apparently purchased our "new" trimmer and put thrie old, beat-to-shit-, broken one (a different brand and model entirely) in the box, resealed it, and returned it to the store... where they reshelved it for us to purchase. Yippie. I don't even think reshelved is a word. The bitches better take that trimmer back or there is going to be some urban terror going on... ahem. Yeah. So anyhoo, I have to work tomorrow night. Nothing like kicking off the new month with some corporate after hours mumbo jumbo. Golf in the morning... maybe. Trying to relax this weekend. You know how it goes...
