Today was so ...

Today was so awesome. So, this morning Ian and I sat around and watched Harry Potter, Power Rangers, the televangelist channel, Full House, Surreal Life... well, pretty much everything to laugh at (except Harry Potter!) 'cos we were bored and Dave was sleeping. Around 1 PM I woke up Dave by pouring water all over him. Awesome.So then we went to Chipotle for lunch, and then went searching around the neighborhood to find Ian his Magnum PI outfit. We found everything but the velcro shoes, which was disappointing. BUT the shorts ended up not fitting anyway, so he couldn't have worn the entire outfit in the first place. But, he wore the top part of the outfit to the concert, and it was hilarious.HOTT.So, anyway, so we all decided to dress up goofy. I wore a Star Trek t-shirt and houndstooth pants, and Dave wore that crazy t-shirt I made him and plaid pants. We're the awesomest people.So we go over to the Metro and meet up with Sarah. It was funny, as we were walking in, we could hear every single person we passed comment on Dave's shirt. It was a hit!So, first Caviar played, with Scott from Local H. It was alright... not terribly exciting. Second was Kill Hannah. I haven't seen them play live in two and a half years now, and so it was weird (considering before then I used to see them play, like, every week... I've seen them like 13 times now). I didn't even recognize any of the songs except Kennedy, considering I never bought their new album. Weird.Then came the Nick Tremulis band, which oddly enough I don't really remember. Then Billy came on. He only sang three songs! The first one was new... um.. the chorus was something like, "you waaaaaait, you haaaaaaate love, and all it represents". (um, I could have that wrong). The second song he SAID he played on 4/19 and messed up, but I don't remember him playing it and it wasn't "For Your Love". Hmm... I'll have to sort this out later. The third song he played was by the Bee Gees ("To Love Somebody").*EDIT* I forgot to mention that Yelena was there. Billy mentioned she was there and then Dave pointed her out in the left balcony. */EDIT*Right after that Dave and Sarah decided to go downstairs to smoke. And who do they run into but Billy himself! Dave got Billy to sign his t-shirt. Tooooo hilarious. He probably has a better account of it in his livejournal oldwarpilot, but I'm not sure 'cos I haven't read it yet.Anyway, here's the Billy autograph on the shirt I made him!!:It was the first time Dave had ever met Billy, and he was freaking out and it was cute. Especially since just about half an hour earlier we were talking about all of us (Ian, Sarah, and I) have met him and Dave hasn't.Sarah happened to have my ticket stub on her, so she got it autographed for me! How sweet! Now I have three Billy autographs.So the next band was Giant Step(?), tho I didn't really get to pay attention to them because I was listening to Dave tell the story of meeting Billy.Then Scott Lucas came out and played with them... they played Copacetic (did I spell that right?!). It was too awesome. Joe Shanahan himself also came out and sang a song with them. Apparently it's the first time he's ever sang onstage at the Metro in the gadzillion years that he has owned it. It was really neat.Then RICK NIELSEN came out and played with them (Giant Step as well as Scott). They played Surrender and I Want You To Want Me! I flipped out! RICK. NIELSEN.He also had his son onstage playing, as well.Then after a short break Rick and his son came out again to play an acoustic song, and Billy came and PLAYED DRUMS! It was just a simple drum beat, but it was too awesome.Then David James and his wife came out to thank everyone. It was really sweet. I didn't realize that I knew who David James was. I see him around the Metro all the time. He has the same kind of cancer my mom had. And then after that everyone that played over the course of the night came out and did a song together. I didn't recognize the song, but it could be some well-known song that I just don't know. *EDIT* I just read that the song is called "Heaven Tonight" */EDIT* Billy sang. The guys from Kill Hannah had maracas, and I found that amusing.After that we walked over to Clarke's for dinner. Fun times. I had chicken strips. Dave and Ian played the "let's dip random food items in the honey mustard sauce" game, which included waffles and pickle. It was pretty funny.Then we came back to my apartment and hung out here for ten minutes, then I walked Ian and Sarah back to Ian's car. He had parked it in a garage, and he totally should've been charged $40, according to the garage's parking standards. But the parking garage guy accidentally only counted from the time instead of the date, so he only had to pay $16! There were these drunk girls that were stuck in the garage because the guy had lost their car keys, and they were totally hitting on Ian and it was too hilarious for life. They made him play guitar and stuff... so he was sitting there playing in the middle of the garage.Then I came back and then walked Dave to the car, and now I'm back and updating LJ and getting caught up on everything.Here's some more random pictures: Ian, being goofyCute picture of SarahIan's attempt to look sexyDave hanging out on my couchI took pictures with a disposable camera too... but I'm planning on using the camera for the Rilo Kiley concerts as well as the road trip, so I won't have them developed for another two weeks (I also have pics from the Auf Der Maur concert on Friday night on that roll as well).*EDIT*!!!!Billy talked about the concert on the Wrigleyville Report this morning.
