I really hate that it takes me so long to update this thing. I've kinda started a regular schedule over on "Play Your Stereo Loud," so hopefully that'll help me update here. Though I don't know how many of you still read this, if you ever did. I promise I'll try to do better.
Not a whole lot has happened over on the Christina Front. Christina gets paid on Friday. That makes her very happy. You know what else makes Christina happy? Cary Brothers :)
On Saturday, my friend Kaitlin and I went to see this little thingy called the Hotel Cafe Tour at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. It's sponsored by myspace.com and (RED)TM, that little campaign that raises money for, I think, AIDS research. I should be more with it, haha. Anyway, so the whole little tour thing was kinda conceived by Mr. Brothers. It featured Joshua Radin, Jim Bianco, Kevin Devine and Schuyler Fisk (the girlfriend in Orange County with Colin Hanks!). Oh, and Cary too. But, I mean, seriously. All that great music in one room?!? Are you kidding me? Best $17 plus train&subway tickets I've ever spent! (Musical review to be on "Play Your Stereo Loud" later in the week). Plus we got to meet some of them. Kaitlin is in love with Joshua Radin so we talked to him for a bit and got autographs and then she talked to Schuyler Fisk for a few minutes. I stood next to Schuyler but didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say, haha. But it was cool.
After the talking, we went back upstairs to watch some more and got to see Cary sing "Blue Eyes," the song that appears on the Garden State soundtrack. Oh man, it was a crowd sing along. It was fantastic. After his set ended, we watched a few more songs, but then decided that we had to go in order to catch the very last train out of NYC (1:34am!). We went downstairs where I spotted Cary by the bar. This was my opportunity to tap him on the shoulder, say hi and get him to sign the poster I had Kaitlin rip off the wall for me, haha. So I did. He looks different close up, but he's still super gorgeous :). I told him that it was a great show and I wished I could watch more, but we had to leave. Then I asked him to sign it. He goes to a table to sign it and then turns back to me and extends his hand "Hi, I'm Cary." "Hi, Christina," I smiled. He signed it: "To Christina, Love Cary Brothers." It was really cute:). Then he was like "It was nice to meet you," and I said the same, and then he said "Don't worry. We'll see each other again." I smiled at him and was like "what?" He then explained that he was sure he was going to be in the area again at some point and that he was releasing an album in February so he'd probably be back. "That's great!" I said "So I can come to another show or something." He says, "Yeah, we'll see each other again." Hahaha... oh man, I <3 Cary Brothers.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention that I got my first over-21 wrist band that night, and celebrated by buying a giant cup of Budweiser for $5. Beer has never tasted so sweet, hahaha. Oh, and I also got beer spilled on my knee by some random person. My knee. I don't know how that happens, but that was pretty awesome too...
All in all, it was a pretty groovy night. And and and... I got two Cary Brother's EPs for $10 total. And they are AMAZING. Saturday was a great day :)
