cute boys, lame tickets, amazing coffees

Sorry i havent checked in in so long...ive been finding it hard to get a minute to sit. i need a vacation from my vacation! but for now let me tell you how that went...

well thursday was my friend emilys get together before her wedding. Ro and i took her to dinner at spats so she had no idea there was a surprise party for her..after dinner we convinced her to grab a drink at trinity (where everyone was waiting) so when we walked in she was shocked!!

saturday was prob the most fun i had in a long time...i got the girls together ( D and jess) to grab some drinks at trinity, b/c of waterfire the city was slamming..so parking was an issue..but after we found a spot the crazyness began..

on the walk to trinity not only did we walk in the middle of a dirty conversation, we were heckled by a drunk boy outside a bar near as220 (apparently suffering from tough guy syndrome) haha..he was giving us a hard time for going to as220 and not there..random..well outside as220 we ran into some friends but decided to head over to trinity first..well after trinity we went to muldownys then to as220 to grab a shot for last call with our friend who bartends there..

after that d went home but jess and i decided to head over to the fez to visit my friend marissa..and after that i stopped by my brothers apt. and hung with my cuz till around 5am and figured i might as well crash on the couch.

Sunday morning i woke up to a parking ticket..not only that but on my way back up to providence to meet d for breakfast i got pulled over on the hi-way and got a speeding ticket! 2 tickets in 2hrs not bad..tickets are so lame!!!! but we had a good breakfast at brickway and headed up to boston for shopping!

walking around boston was fun but we werent so lucky shopping..we couldnt find anything good. monday was suppose to be the highlight of my vacation b/c laurren and i were going up to portland ME to see my friends madina lake! we couldnt have asked for better weather and when we got there we had time to chill before we had to get ready and head over to the show.

lauren and i decided to take a walk and explore and get some snacks and coffee..lucky for us i kinda knew the area from being there before, but what i didnt know was there was a secret spot to get the best ice coffee for 2$..now you know that im a coffee lover so when i saw that i had to try it...it was in the most random thai convience store across from the station (venue we were going to later that night) when i ordered it it was already made with cream and sugar and i was like great this has so much stuff in it, its going to make me sick!! but once i tried it i quickly found out it was the best ice coffee i ever had!

later on that night at dinner i finally decided to text dan and tell him i was there..now i hadnt talked to him in 2 weeks so he had no idea i was coming to he show it was a surprise...well his response was unexpected..he told me they had to cancel that morning b/c they were recording vocals and wouldnt be able to make it back to ME on time to play the show..although i was bummed it was cool that we got to chat and catch up..and they'll be back in town around november..something to look forward too.

well dont think that was the end of our night..after getting stared at by two cute and tattooed boys (random) we decided to go back to the hotel and grab a drink in case we had to wait in line for tickets..well we got right in and surprise surprise remember those boys with the staring problem haha well they were warming up to go onstage...they were members of the bled, a hardcore rock band from arizona i believe..i couldnt believe it! and sure enough when they got off stage mike the drummer came over and introduced himself saying he saw us at margaritas..after chatting for a bit we decided to hang and grab some drinks with them after the show!

i also met this girl who was from ME and there to take photos of the bands but she was bummed b/c this guy told her she couldnt get near the stage to take pics (lame)! so i told her to follow me and i got her backstage and introduced her to mike so she got some pics of him and we got her on stage to take pics of saosin..once the show wrapped lauren and i had drinks with our new friends who invited us to their show in mass in sept. ( i suggest u check em out they are the bled dont forget) around 2am we went back to our hotel to crash. despite the hangover in the morning we got our stuff together got another one of those amazing coffees and were on our way home.

it just goes to show you when you go into something with no expectations you can only come out having a better time then you could have ever thought! besides work being busy and going out for a drink here and there ive been trying to relax b/c in the next few months there is a lot of stuff going on..i promise i will keep you updated!
