seimaisin and I went back to the State Fair today, where I finally met

divachickie. We ate food, we walked through a SEA of people, I bought a couple new purses, I went on the most awesome midway ride ever, I got way more sunburned than I thought I was, I ran into one of my best friends from high school. We left.

Then we ventured out to the Triple Rock, where we managed to miss a few of the opening bands. But we did catch Self Against City and really dug them. I would have bought their CD, but they didn't have any. Houston Calls were the headliner and they were awesome! But they only played for 40 mins, if that much. Boo. Their keyboardist was extremely entertaining. The crowd was extremely lame, but what do you expect on Labor Day weekend? Most everyone is up north and the people who are in town are at the Fair. I bought a Houston Calls T-shirt and chatted with their very nice merch dude. I would have bought their CD, but they also did not have any. WTF?

Because we are lame, we went to B&N after the show. I bought two books I didn't need. Now I am home and rather exhausted. But we are going back to the Fair again tomorrow for my birthday so I can finally, finally meet Sven. It's going to happen!

Okay, so the Weird Al show was totally MADE OF WIN. If I made a list of all the songs I would have wanted him to play, well he played them. All of them. Even "You're Pitiful" which totally made my night. More on the concert tomorrow.

Yes, I got my Sven shirt. Boo to the weather though. For the second year in a row, he had to be at the studio because of the bad weather. Sunday is totally going to be my chance to meet him though. I can feel it! Also, I got a Team Franken 2008 shirt. I want to get away with wearing one of them to work tomorrow, but I'm not sure which one yet.

Unfortunately, my evening was sad too. My mom called to say that something happened to Riley and my dad had to rush him to the vet this morning. He tore a tendon in his good back leg and now he can barely walk. =( The vet set him up with some drugs though and when I called my dad to see what was going on, he said that Ry was doing okay. My dad built a ramp on the front steps for him so he can still go out. Just very slowly. I'm really upset about this. He's my baby. I'm going to go over and hang out with him tomorrow night. I'm worried...well, I'm just worried that this is the beginning of the end and I'm absolutely not ready to face it yet.

Anyhow...note to self. Tomorrow:
look up the dates for the Wicked tour for next year
look into Jersey Boys tickets in Chicago
record the new Houston Calls song from MySpace

Also,

seimaisin and I have decided that we're going to NYC in two years, so we can see Wicked on Broadway! This is a good plan.

That alarm is going to be quite painful when it goes off in about four hours. =/
