MTV: Elvis Presley & The Blue Suede Shoes + Paramount Pictures, Friday 07.07.2006

Was it worth it?
Damn, I somehow managed to turn a quick thirty-minute eye-roll session into a six-hour coma—woke up at 1 PM... yeah, classic me.

In my opinion, having a garage in the suburbs can't be a bad thing, right?😁

It was all quite wonderful. Pure rock and roll, through and through.

It was fine, I guess—honestly, I wasn't even paying attention to what they were playing 😬

Well, you certainly didn't hold back on the commentary 😬

Man, I still haven't mastered the art of talking and listening at the exact same time.

It was actually pretty interesting, plus the weather was perfect 😬

Huge thanks to redcrane28 and her husband for letting her borrow the car. 😬 🙏 🙏

My day was pretty much 🤮 :2up: 😢

First off, I wrote this essay that was, frankly, zero percent convincing (not that I actually doubted my own ability to write total garbage). After that, I headed over to that punk show in downtown Chicago. The sound quality was honestly abysmal, and the band was playing without any percussion because nobody knew how to work the soundboard 😠 🙄
The candy crew almost missed their cue by a hair 🙂
Then I rolled into Netflix just late enough to catch only two songs from Disney. They sounded absolutely incredible 😠
I was pretty annoyed, so I just decided to head home. I ended up missing the bus toward the suburbs. I had to wait another thirty minutes for the next one heading toward downtown Manhattan. Then, out of nowhere, the heavens opened up—it was a total monsoon. I was stuck waiting for the late-night line at a diner with some loud guys singing classic rock, just waiting for the night bus. And I found out the hard way that it was a bus, not a train. I got soaked. It was just miserable.

Honestly, you should be thanking coastalpanther11 just for me showing up.
As for the husband—he left the house in a pretty heated mood, kind of a grumpy type. From rural Pennsylvania. He's just glad he didn't lose the car😁

Anyway, Tori Amos. I have a feeling I'm never going to be a fan

So you're calling yourself a lonesome hobo??? I actually thought a hobo was some older guy—and honestly, I was kind of enjoying the idea of meeting someone in person before realizing who they were on a forum. But nope. Total bust.

Well, I definitely fit the "older guy" description... It's not my fault I still look like a teenager.😬

Don't mention it! Seriously, enough with the thanks and pleasantries, we can deal with that later. I was at that diner mentioned in the thread yesterday and overheard some insider gossip claiming Alice Cooper actually lives out in a suburb near Seattle. Anyone know if that's legit?

It’s all starting to come back to me now...

Noah Myers67 said:Look, I totally am an "older guy"... can't help it if I've still got that baby face😬

Seriously though, I'm actually 18, but they're out here treating me like I'm 12😎 😛

Haha...I'm 29, but they're giving me 24.😎

Way better!!!
They’re offering me twenty bucks! 🥳

...but you've got 35, right? 😬

Get outta here!!
Look, I get it, but if someone tries to shortchange me by even ten bucks, I straight up lose my mind... I'm the one paying for shipping, I'm the one taking them out to a club!! 😁
Oh mannnn..
And yeah, totally off-topic
