Ever hear the one about the REALLY annoying girl?

Ok, couple days late, but here's my take on the Angie Aparo show. First off, the opening act, Plumb, was outstanding and I recommend that everybody track down some of her music and give her a listen.
Now, Angie. When Angie was singing, he was great. He played some classics, played some new stuff, played some acoustic, played some with a drummer and another guitarist. Now, about the annoying girl part. There was this girl, and it really was just this one girl, that ruined the concert for April and Jess, and almost got stabbed in the back of her skull by me. I wasn't carrying a knife, but I would have made it work. I'm good like that. This girl made it her personal mission to get Angie's attention between every song. She did this by calling people on her cell phone while he was singing, and then feeling it was her right to take pictures of him pretty much whenever she wanted to with her phone.
Now, not only did this annoy Angie, and he did call her out on it, but it annoyed pretty much everybody else in the room. This obnoxious little bitch was loud, annoying, and a disruptive force to what could have been a much better show. Was I mad that I paid money to see the show, not at all, would I have been happier had she not been there, absolutely.
So, Angie show was good, though could have been better. Plumb is an artist that should be on everybodies to listen to list, and my visit with April was nice, though not nearly long enough. Fortunately she's coming up here in a couple of weeks, so I'll get to see her then.

Back in the Habit

So, Summer is over and I have returned to George Mason....again. As I strolled around campus on my break Tuesday I remembered something. I hate freshman. It's Fall Semester, so the campus is crawling with 18 year olds that think they know everything because a few months ago they were Seniors. Little bastards. I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I didn't kill any of them.
On the education front, my classes are going fine so far; German 101 will be mostly a refresher course, but my Intro to Fiction class seems like it will be fun. I will say however, that I am already ready for the semster to be over....but that's just me.
So, no freshman dead, classes are good so far, and work is going as well as can be expected. It really needs to be New Years so I can get my ass out to Vegas.
