Okay okay amazing amazing night.
I am freaking out.
I don't even think I can coherently type this.
Ama and got on the guest list (through her mom) to see Serena Ryder at Hugh's room.
Two openers, some totally crazy guy who was like a white folk version of stevie wonder and phil colins (not his music, just how he expressed) And beautiful wonderful amazing Justin Rutledge.
"my tears went by like the taxis on bloor st.. at ten pm... on a friday.."
Anyway, so I am chatting with ama while we eat amazingly decadent chocolate cake and I say "there is like a 40% chance that hawksley could make an appearance on wednesday nights show... because he had a show last night on the east coast, and another on friday"
Serena comes up, sings some georgous amazing beautiful new songs... then invites up her good friend ... HAWKSLEY WORKMAN!!!
okay, fucking amazing.
I love that man.
I love him.
Okay so when the show was over we let everyone get the hell out.. and then he was standing there talking to people who seemed important. so we waited.... and we were gonna go talk to serena, but then he walked by.. so I just kinda grabbed his arm... and he stopped and sort of squinted at me. So we gushed like crazy fan girls, and then just had this lovely talk about neighborhoods in toronto and he asked us about ourselves and where we live and all that. (he lives in the east end!) and he shook our hands, (with both of his hands!) and I said I had met him, and he's like street festival and I was like yeah (I had him sign the back of my reciept, I guess he remembered it... it was like 1.5 years ago..) SO anyway..he asked what we were up to.. we were all like "hangin' out" and then some guy interuppted... and fuck. Then someone he knows called him but before he walked away he gave me another warm handshake and said goodnight.
THEN we talked with lovely Serena Ryder. who was drunk, and not as approachable. However, I love her like mad and would have the sex with her many a time over.
Ama and I have quite offically decided that she is a mad dyke. I love her, oh dear.
anyway
FREAK OUT
I am still vibrating, no no, I am OOZING WITH UTTER JOY.
he told us a secret too... hes at the wednesday show... and we're there too.
That man is my heart, he's my (present day) musical hero. I can't help it, and hes god damned cute.
And me? decided not to bring my camera. idiot, yes.
however, I am bringing it to the mod club on wednesday, and we are fucking hanging out with them after the show if it kills us!!
