al;ajf I can't believe in the last post I forgot to mention Fran's and Jared-stalking!

So yeah, I told toolazytowork that I wanted to ~experience the neighborhood~ so she took me to this delicious asian restaurant and then idk I mentioned dive bars or karaoke or something, I don't even know, and she was all, "well I know this one place..." and I was like "fabulous."

Now some people might find Fran's the most ridiculous place in the world. It's a small bar, a pool table, like 10 chairs, and a couple of microphones, and as toolazytowork put it - they serve whatever beer is on special at Krogers that week. G L O R I O U S.

Let's see, there was a table of hipsters, with one very drunk girl also named Mackenzi who could actually still sing okay despite her inebriation (and also do a wicked bottle-balancing trick), the cute old harmonizing men at the table next to us, and then random people in and out playing pool. But honestly, other than the fact that it was only beer (bleh) I could live there, lol. Epitome of "dive bar." We brought down the house with a stirring rendition of Wanted: Dead or Alive. I also sang Me & Bobby McGee but I think I need to stop thinking I can actually sing that song because uh, no. Otherwise, smashing time until my body decided it'd had enough abuse and legit couldn't do anymore all of the sudden, right before we were gonna sing Piano Man. ://

So we went home, got ready for bed, PJs and all... and then Jared tweeted about Steve's performance at Tootsies. So I said to toolazytowork, "How far away is Tootsies? Because Jared's there RIGHT NOW." And she said, "GET DRESSED." And so we went.

Unfortunately no Jared was spotted. I think he was sly with that tweet and sent it after he'd already left. It's possible that he left in the 15 minutes it took us to get there, and we couldn't go in b/c the place was closing, but I mean, we looked HARD down Broadway, and no 6'5 moose were spotted. :( (Also it was weird because there was a band packing up their shit, none of whom were Steve Carlson so idk idk, who knows how long Jared waited to send that tweet) But we can at least say we tried! AND I got to have a taste of Nashville's night life, which was rather fun and definitely worth experiencing more of.

I bet you were starting to wonder if I'd ever make a post at all about this? ...no, probably not.

Nashcon by the numbers: Total miles - 530.9; Total money spent: around $300; Total amount of sleep: 32 hours in 5 days. Amount of fun had: Priceless.

Bah, I'm too lazy to upload photos to go with the story now, oh well. Here have our photo op to make up for the lack of other pics:



There was a very adorable litte boy in a Superman shirt in line in front of us that Misha picked up for their photo op. That was cute.

Anyway.

Thursday I worked until 8am, slept a few hours and drove to Nashville.

aks;ljfsldkjf so many cool things I'm sure I'm forgetting but whatever. I'd like to take this moment to thank twofourteen for selling me her ticket so that I didn't have to deal with Creation (who always seems to screw up my order somehow), as well as toolazytowork for allowing me not only to stay in her house but like, trusting me with a house key and leaving me alone (with her adorable pets) to bumble around. Please please stop worrying about Friday night, I'm just glad you recovered and everything was glorious for the next two days.

In related news, every time Jared tweets I flail. I set up my phone to receive his and Misha's tweets AT ALL TIMES because I don't want to miss this shit, it's G L O R I O U S.

I'm working 6 days in a row, then going to Muncie with aplethora (or should I say "rescuing her from a life of boredom") and then working 6 more days, all on top of coming back from Nashville and then working the next day, so essentially I don't have a free day until June 24th, so if you don't see me around anywhere, that's why.

Sorry this post is long and rambly and really probably not all that exciting since I didn't discuss any of what was said in the panels or anything (THEY WERE ALL HILARIOUS). If you follow my twitter, you know I updated about pretty much everything that happened to me this weekend no matter how absurd or mundane, as well as tweeted through all the panels as best I could. But in short: I HAD AN AWESOME TIME AND WAS SAD TO GO.
