Ok! Here's what happened this weekend:

HFSmas Nutcracker 2004
The concert that I really wanted to go to so that I could see Keane.

No, I did not get to see the band I really wanted to see.

Basically, we got stuck in traffic. Accident on 95. Accident on 495. Slow traffic for no reason from 270 to the American Legion Bridge. Slow traffic on 66. Going down 123 to GMU wasn't that bad, but once on campus, it took FOREVER to get to the bloody log to park. Two other events were leaving as we were trying to park. Their lots were prior to ours.

Concert started at 5pm. We got there at 6.

The lineup was:
Keane
My Chemical Romance
Breaking Benjamin
The Killers
Chevelle
Franz Ferdinand
Jimmy Eat World
Good Charlotte
Velvet Revolver

I think that's the order they were in. We were seated in time for BB. We left midway through GC.

Assorted memories: The Killers wore suits. Very snazzy. Jerry liked them & they were great live. The lead singer for FF likes to mumble. He's say something, start off clear and his voice would drop & he'd start mumbling. Jimmy Eat World sang a christmas song. I don't remember what it was, but they said it may suck, & it was actually really good.

Still bummed about Keane. I hope they come back. We got to leave w/ no traffic & made it home by midnight. Hopped on FFXI & played for a bit.

Fairly uneventful, except for the idjit who pissed me off Sunday night. And the technically stuff...it was after midnight.

Kid Stuff
Picked up the portraits. They're really good.

Kids haven't changed much.

That's it.
