When it rains, it pours… 05 October 2007 at 9:01 am by 1,047 views

It’s been awhile since I’ve complained about the apartment in which I live, but this morning after a pretty big rain storm I heard some weird noises coming from the kitchen. What were they? Drips… of water…

Drip drip...

Drip drip drip

(If you notice the brown square… those watermarks are the border of the leak… looks nice, huh? The pot you see is one of 2… the other is catching water on the floor.)

That’s right, after months of telling the management that we can hear dripping when we stand in the kitchen, and them saying they’ve fixed it, the water that’s been slowly rotting the roof broke through right next to the light on the ceiling (I’m sure that’s good for the wiring). Nice. So here I sit, missing work, waiting for the roofers and the maintenance crew to get their collective butts up here to fix this. Sigh :( They’d better get here soon, seriously…

I got back so late last night from the concert that I had no time to post… to sum up the whole night I’d hafta go with: “Kickin’ Rad!”. :D

The whole concert was amazing! Jess got Stella Soleil’s autograph, as well as a pic with her:

Stella Soleil and Jessica!

How awesome is that?!

Now, first up for the night is a band called Leo out of Cleveland… I actually was at the bar grabbing a drink when a band member was next to me cheering on the Indians (they went on to beat the Yankees 12-3… ouch!). I was able to snap some good pics of them in action:

Nice, huh? They were very awesome… I’d suggest you check them out! Next up were the Dirty Little Rabbits, a side-project of Shawn Crahan of a little band called Slipknot (you may have heard of them… ;) ). They. Were. Awesome! Check some stills:

Dirty Little Rabbits - On the Guitar!

Dirty Little Rabbits - Hittin' the Skins!

Dirty Little Rabbits - Singin' Her Lungs Out!

It was simply amazing… I hope this band goes as far as it seems they will! :D

Finally after much anticipation the Sick Puppies took the stage… with a special surprise! Tonight we will be videotaped for a DVD of their show! :) Wow!!

That’s right, and based on the show, I think Jess and I will be on there a lot (we’re gonna buy a copy the second it comes out!!). :D Okay, back to the band… amazing. I know I keep saying it, but they were amazing too! They put on a very lively and professional show and I tell you, by the end I could barely hear/move/stand… that’s how awesome it was. :) Now, half-way through the show they had some fans take the stage, and what is this?!

She said yes!

A marriage proposal?! Cool! For those wondering, she said “Yes”. ;) They finished up the show with a few of their hits, such as All the Same, made popular from the Free Hugs Campaign. Here are a few pics from the show:

Afterwards they gave out autographs, etc. Jess and I finally got out of there and home by 12:00 am. Crazy night… but awesome nevertheless! Next concert we’ll be going to is MC Chris…… sweet!
