G Love!!!!!!
No Special Sauce. I went to Carmela's to hang out and we went to G Love at Hartwood Acres. Can't beat FREE! First, we went to pick up their new pet. Her name is Princess Reecie....Cassidy named her. She is an eight week old Chocolate Lab. She is so cute and she cuddles. Then Carm and I were off to Hartwood.
We stopped by a deli and got some food and beverages. It poured down rain the entire time. At one point we were worried my car wouldn't make it out, but we stayed anyway.
It was fun. We got there pretty early, or so we thought. We just hung out mostly in the car. Giggled a lot and caught up where we last left off. All of a sudden this cop car went by and said G Love is coming on head down to the stage. Apparently there were thunderstorms coming and they were going to cancel it but G Love agreed to play a quick set.
We were pretty close. He came on stage and sat in a metal chair with his guitar and harmonicas sitting on an old wooden chair beside him. He started asking what everyone wanted to hear. He opened with Booty Call. He played Rainbow, Milk and Cereal, Baby's Got Sauce, Beautiful, Free styled a bit (my favorite part) and of course closed with Cold Beverage. At one point in the concert, I swear G Love was looking right at me. So I tell Carm, and she says, "Get over yourself Amanda!" My sister has a story where she swears Dave Matthews was talking to her. I lost it. I laughed so hard. At the end they started throwing T-shirts and the new CDS out. Carm and I were too short to get anything. But we got an up close G Love Acoustic, and that was enough.
We headed out. Carm orchestrated the get away. Everyone else was spinning tires in the mud and water. We zipped right up to the pavement, thanks to my co pilot. I felt bad for the people that were just getting there. They missed everything. All in all it was fun, then back to Carm's to play with the puppy. I ended up falling asleep to Cassidy talking my ear off. For seven, that little thing can talk none stop about anything. It was fun.
This morning Carm and I had coffee and got sucked into some Internet puzzle game for about 5 hours. Now I am home and my basement is filling with water. But I decided to blog instead of deal with it!
