Band Banquet 2003

Alright, here goes, the story of my final band banquet. Hang on cuz this is gonna be huge.

Me and Travis decided the night before to randomly go back to his house that is 45 min away and chil in his hot tub and spend the night there. So we got there around 7:30 and sat in the hot tub until about 11:30. We were so prunny afterwards. We pretty much just talked about the laddies and how much we both suck cuz we are both single again.

The next day, we hung around until about 3 when we both went to get our hair cut at this cool little barber shop. After I finaly made it back to school at about 4, I realized that I had forgotten to go get Brittany flowers, so i called fran and she ran me up to get some flowers. I got her 3 white roses which mached her dress perfectly...thanks mom. Then I rushed to get back, ran in and out of the shower, put on my best suit and tie and after my "stayin alive" ritual, I was set to go. Now for the interesting part...

We were suppose to meet at 6:15, well it was like almost 6:20 so i figured Id just go surprise her at her door, but ofcourse as im half way up to her room here she comes down the stairs...I felt like an ass. After she says hello, she follows that up with "ok heres the situation." I was thinking, well at least I know shes not gonna say she cant go cuz shes already dressed. Turns out her car got towed about 2 hours ago and we have no mode of transportation. So i call fran real quick....again....to help us out. She gives us a ride there and then the night got more normal. They served us chicken, which I actualy ate with my fork this year....thanks desi for reminding me of that....Then they handed out the awards and door prizes of which I STILL haven't won any and then showed the slide show which was pretty cool this year. Then to top it all off, at the end we stood up and sang You'll Never Walk Alone to close the night off. Brittany said she had fun and really liked dressing up and stuff so Im glad she injoyed her self and Im really thankful she came with me.

Afterwards the idea was to go to Dallas for Danniells b-day then go clubbing. Well Desi and the rest of them leave about about 9:30 and me, Brittany, and Amber wait for Mitch to show up who didn't show up until about 11:30. We finaly get to The West End about about 12:15 or so and meet up with them in Hooters....yep....im in my favorite suit and tie in Hooters....it was greatness. I have some cassadieas and then we decided to jet. Brittany doesn't really feel like clubbing cuz shes in a pretty shitty mood after this afternoons events with her car and this guy shes trying to get rid of. So, since Im not a big dancer anywayz, Me, Jami, Brittany and this other girl all came back to Bruce. Im so glad I did because Desi said all they did was walk up and down the street doing nothing really.

So, after everyone got back we chilled in the lobby for a few hours untill most of them left to go somewhere, I cant remember where cuz i was half way awake at the time. I do remember though that the only ones left were me, Brittany and her new boy toy Mark who is actualy a kinda cool guy from what I could tell. So I finaly decided to go to bed around 5am.

Wow there it is....Band Banquet 2003.

Bruce Jam fall 2003

Well another Bruce Jam has come and gone and it was greatness. I was in two bands this year. First off, I was in "the generic Beatles cover band" which was really interesting. Brittnay and Jordan shared vocals while Nathan and I just kinda hung out and did our part as best we could. I have to say that for only playing with all 3 of them at the same time once before we went on, that things went pretty well.

But who can forget the main reason I was there...thats right...SuperGrover. The one and only SuperGrover was back in action this year with 2 new members. Travis (lead guitar) and Brandon (bass) McKethen. I cant tell you how much fun we have playing together as a band. Our show was so fun and pretty darn good for compared to what we've done in the past. Everyone was pretty shocked at how good we played, especially the last song Undone (sweater song) by Weezer and Stacy's Mom. Lets see we also played Where is my mind, Wind crys Marry, Sucker by John Mayer, my life sucks (the original version), Radio by Alkaline Trio which didn't go over to well AT ALL! I think the only high light of that song was where no body sang lol. Other than that, it was a pretty sweet ride. Next semester we are gonna play some Eagles, Death Cab for Cutie, and probably some more difficult stuff. I hope we continue to get better and have fun while we are at it.

Lets see what else is there to say...oh yea...band banquet is tomorrow, well actually latter today. Cant tell you how much Im looking forward to this. A great date and free food, life doesn't get much better :) I hope I look decent enough for her. Im getting a hair cut later on and Im waring my best suit so I better at least look cute if not dead sexy ;) oh baby....oh baby...hince the sarcasm in there. Anywayz, I better head of to bed. I'll write back in here and tell you how it went.

New Journals

Lets see, today I didn't have any classes so I sat in my room for most of the day which was pretty cool. Desi came by my room today for the first time in about 9 months. Cant tell you how many memories came rushing back for that one. I must say, being friends with her again is kinda strange. Its like, wait a sec, haven't we done this before? Like a constant deja vou. Except this time, she doesn't stay with me at the end of the day.

She has also started up her live journal again. An in depth look into the world that is Desi's mind..........scary....... Brittnay has also started her journal back up today. I got mentioned in both their journals today. I felt pretty loved. So good luck to the both of them on the 2cd time around.


Other than that, lets see....I practiced with Jordan and Nathan and then went down and listened to Derek's band for a song. Then I hung out with Son and watched him build his God of a computer. The big yellow machine as its being called for now. What a moster of a computer though. Athlon 2800+, 5800 video card, a gig and a half of RAM, and four 120 hard drives one of which is external. I sware one day I will have a masterpeice as well. Untill then I'll deal with what I have and just dream.

Countdown....

New Orleans here we come. Yep, we won our game on saturday which means we won our division...again...and get to go to the New Orleans Bowl....again... Im rooming with 3 other guys from the pit. I should probably learn their names before then lol. Oh well, I'll think of something.

Band banquet is on saturday....excellent. Once again, by some miracle of God, I have found a great date. I dont know how or why I can do this every year, but Im not really gonna argue it. First it was Brenna who was an awesome friend and pretty cute as well. Then it was Desi and well, we all know how that one turned out. I mean that in a good way. Now Im taking Brittnay. Shes an awesome girl and Im sure she'll be alot of fun to hang with. So, heres to the future.
