Since mid September 2008, Thunderbird and I have been to about twenty concerts together. One of the first concerts we attended was a show in Dallas, Rhett Miller (lead singer of Old '97s) was doing a charity gig at The Granada. We decided to hit up that show on a Friday nite then check out Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) and his new band The Mystic Valley Band the next nite. Conor's show was amazing. One of our favorites. Friday nite we pulled up and parked behind The Granada and made our way inside. The place wasn't packed that much. We were standing about fifty feet from the stage or more. Before Rhett got up Brent Best (lead singer of alt.country band Slobber Bone) did a short set. About six feet in front of us was a very pretty girl. I liked her style, tall boots, flowing dress. I mentioned to Thunderbird that I wanted to say something to her, but did not know what to say. Her and her friend walked past us to get drinks and I told Thunderbird "Look, lets take their spots so when they get back they will ask for their spots back thus they have to talk to us." He did not like this idea so I decided not to go with that one. The two girls made their way back before Brent Best took stage. As Brent Best gave a solid performance, I told Thunderbird "This guy looks like Mr. Friendly." If Mr. Friendly does not sound familiar, then peep this folks.
He is a character from LOST. Anyway, we spend most of Mr. Friendly's set making fun of him and talking about our thoughts on LOST. It was time to see Rhett. All during the show I looked at this stylish girl who was now about two feet away from me. I think I saw some of her face, enough to want to look again. As the charity concert was wrapping up I realized that I would probably say nothing to this female and was satisfied with just that. DJ Dennis Miller came out to announce that the show was over, Rhett might have played six or seven songs. As Thunderbird said "Time to go," the two girls turned around and one said "So whats next?" We just stood their stunned, Thunderbird and I did not know what to do or say.
There is a Part II to this story.

Ah, you had to leave me in suspense... or can I just ask you in person about this Textican?!
ReplyDeleteOne is the Textican & the other is Drunk Nancy. The second part is amazing.
