omg talk about nostalgia...i don't even know where to begin?! paulie (my boy version of a girl bff, no he's not gay) and i had a great time at the 80's flashback concert at house of blues-hollywood. we got there just in time to see gene loves jezebel. i could not remember them that much except for "desire". the lead singer wore a huge headpiece and he sounded awful. he might consider giving up smoking! he could not hit any of the high notes and he kept making fun of himself which was cool, i guess. he kept trying to do tricks with the microphone stand that he ended up breaking it! what a crack up. one of the roadies came out and fixed it....their show was pretty lame but the good thing is that it was only a 40 minute show. of course the last song they played was "desire". i bet this was their only hit.
after i got some fresh air we went outside while waiting for the next band to set up. once we were back we made our way to the stage even though we felt like sardines but it was worth it. when in rome was the next band and i think they might have been one of my faves the whole night. they got the crowd into it and put on a great show.
now it was about midnight. we went back outside and on our way back made our way towards the front of the stage and that might not have been a great idea because dramarama was next. they seemed to have played about an hour. everyone else played 30-45 minutes. they had a new album to promote and they were lots of fun to watch. they ended their set with this song...and guess what happened next?
by now it must have been 1am and we were both so tired from standing since 9pm and pretty much dancing the whole time. (we paid for it dearly the next day) umm, are we out of shape or what? up next ...
and the last band was a flock of seagulls. i just wanted the show to end already and all i wanted to hear was this song...and we literally wanted to RUN to the car and go home.
but seriously we had such a great time plus we were celebrating paulie's bday early. and even though we were tired and our feet hurt from so much dancing we didn't care. it was awesome reminiscing about the past.
sunday i watched pretty in pink. perfect ending to an 80's weekend.
so i've been eyeing this handbag for a while now and i think i might just get it. what do you guys think?
End of another great show...Flock of Seagulls rocked!
