Ok, so I know it's like over a month away, but I am already ecstatic about Halloween! I've accepted that it's my favorite holiday, even though Christmas has always held that spot. And don't get me wrong, I still get excited way in advance and eagerly count down the days for Christmas still. But I seem to hold more excitement for Halloween. I just love everything spooky about it! Right now my DVR is crammed full of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures, haha. I love that crap xD
And I'm so happy that a lot of the TV channels are starting to air Halloween specials!
And there are so many awesome horror movies coming out! I love horror, but I don't really really get into them unless it's this time of year. I also like to pop in the classics and get geared up :)
Oh! And haunted houses! I'm so excited!
Is it October yet???
Man! What a weekend! Hands down one of my top weekends :)
This Friday my fella's band played at Rev Room in Little Rock. Robin had gone down to Russellville the day before to play a show at Tech. I hate when he's away and I'm at home missing him :( That's a big downside to having a musician for a boyfriend. I absolutely love getting to go to the shows that I can and seeing him do what he loves on those stages. But it's tough when I'm stuck at home while he's rockin' it up somewhere. Ah well, whatever helps pay the bills ;P
So, that Friday I drove down to see him play that night. This was my second Rev Room show but I love how they feel like actual concerts. The way the stage is set up and with the number of people that show it turns into an awesome gig (I don't think I'll ever get used to staring up at my boyfriend onstage like he's some kind of god or idol, haha). And that night did not disappoint! 3 hours of non-stop energy! So much fun :D And the band had their first experience that night. About halfway through, a pink, lace bra came flying out from somewhere in the crowd and onto the stage! Hahaha. It hit the lead singer and everyone just kind of laughed. Then they tossed it around for a bit before the bass player hung it off of his guitar (and at one point strapped it around his head) :P I told Robin I would have gladly thrown my brazier at him, however, I wanted to keep dancing and this would definitely not have happened sans bra xD
The next day was one of their biggest shows yet. They were going to be an opening band for the Fray! UA Fort Smith partnered with a new committee to help host a string of concerts called Festival on the Border. Thursday night was Travis Trent, Friday night was Dierks Bentley (this is Arkansas, y'know), and then Saturday was the Fray opened by my fella's band, Andy Grammer, and Girl Talk (who switched last minute with the Fray and played last).
The stage setup was incredible.

After the Fray played an amazing show, it was Girl Talk time. Now, I won't lie. Up until I heard about this concert, I had no idea who Girl Talk was. It sounded like a sister band of the Pussycat Dolls or something. But, to my shock, I found out that it was a DJ specializing in collab-Dubstep styles. I love that crap! So, the more I learned, the more excited I got :)
We were all standing backstage before Girl Talk went one when someone said they were gathering people to go onstage and dance with him! Sooo, of course, I jumped in that group instantly xD There were about 20-30 people (mostly hot blondes, gotta have the visuals!) We all went onstage and just danced. I danced my ASS off for over an hour. I mean, I gave that crap 100%. I was exhausted by time it was over, but I had so much fun it was ridiculous. I ended up being at the front of the stage for most of the time dancing in front of probably 1,000 people. We had glow sticks so I raved around like a lunatic next to some girls in wigs and tutus xD You eventually forgot that you had so many people watching you and just let loose to have fun. It sounds cheesy, but it made me miss performing. I was joking to Robin about how we switched that night. He was the one watching me (on purse duty, bless him) while I was on stage in front of everyone. It was a trip and made me think back to high school when I would sing at our choir shows. I miss it so much :( But getting to do even that made me just so happy :)
Overall, one of the best weekends ever! I am so in love with my life and excited about everything that is to come :)))
