So this weekend was EPIC!
It was all about TBTL and the Tens. It started Friday with fellow Ten Hannah and I going down to the airport to pick up Bab's (barbara). I started drinking very early that morning with an eye opener in my coffee and kept it up throughout the day. We went to the 5 point, Barolo (best happy hour ever!), Azteca for some well priced family mexican food, and then to the Gate for karaoke. It was a blast! And it was just the start...
On Saturday we got brunch, and dicked around the city for a bit. It was a lot of fun with the out of town Tens. We just took them to stupid places that had been mentioned on TBTL and they loved it. Christina was also up here along with Alyssa. These 3 ladies were just lovely to get to know, and it feels like I've known them my whole life. Later that night we went the TBTL's 1000th show at the Neptune. And it was just great to be in a room with my people. We all come from different walks of life and ages, jobs, families... you name it, but we all were the same. We had this unspoken bond of love for one another. We all got our stupid jokes and many hammertimes and turbo paved people just loved on each other. The show was awesome and it made me so incredibly happy. Luke bought me my damn drink, Yay! And Jen came up to me after the show and told me that seeing a familiar face in the crowd was a calming thing for her and it was awesome to hear that. Seanie was drunk, and so was I. Oh man, TBTL has been just a great way for me to meet people. And I had like 5 people come up to me saying: "Janie, I love the posts on the ten's page" and me just being floored that these people know me now. It's awesome... or shall I say RAWR!
We got totally Turbo Paved and Saturday night ended with Christina and I singing "Hold on" in the cab ride home. It was a perfect night and one of the best of my life.
Sunday morning I felt the love even more as all of us became friends on facebook and really chatting and putting names to faces to names. We went to trivia that night and our team came in third place, mostly cause Seanie made the last section of questions all about Gameboys (I inspired him to do that with a drunken conversation on Saturday night)... I knew all that answers to that one. Well, I would have been a little unhappy of myself if I didn't. Sean also told me that we have a lot in common, like drumming and video games, which was RAD! TBTL makes Janie happy!
I can't explain how blessed I am. I have made some of the best friends I have ever met, and it's all because on January 7th, 2008 I happened to be listening to 710 KIRO at 7pm and heard: "This is Too Beautiful to live, a radio show that is possibly too beautiful to live. And I thought, what a horrible name, but it's perfect now. It makes sense if you're a Ten, because this is a way of life for us. And I'm proud to say that it is. Fate is weird...
