Weekend Recap

On Friday night, Jimmy and I went to the Tempe Music Festival. Nothing too exciting happened. The headlining acts were Puddle of Mudd and My Chemical Romance. Puddle of Mudd was relatively entertaining, singing hits like Blurry and She Fucking Hates Me, topped off with the lead singers crazy/bizarre personality. At one point, he stopped about 45 seconds into one of their new songs and told the crowd that they completely messed it up... who does that? None of us knew the song anyway. My Chemical Romance was pretty good. They sound just like they do on their CD. The crowd for them ranged from 12-15 year old screaming girls dressed in black with Alice Cooper eyeliner and weird gloves on. I wanted to tell them that spandex with jean skirts was not some new and exciting fashion trend that they invented... they may want to check out some pics circa 1989...

On our way back to the car as Jimmy was giving me a piggy-back ride and running through the parking lot (my feet were killing me after our mile trek from the festival back to the car), we came across a very distressed lady wandering aimlessly around the parking lot. She asked if she could use our cell phone, we said sure. Turns out, she had been seperated from her boyfriend and their 3 other friends at the music festival and she didn't have her cell phone on her. She had called her boyfriend from other peoples phones and he said he'd meet her by the truck, but she couldn't find the truck in the parking lot and now he wasn't answering his phone. She said she'd been waiting in the parking lot for him for almost two hours and he had yet to show up. We told her that she could catch a ride to her house with us (it was on the way). So, we gave the poor lady a ride home. Her boyfriend called back on Jimmy's phone when we were halfway to her house and ripped her a new one lecturing her about catching a ride with strangers, but he was just leaving the festival. The asshole had left his girlfriend alone in a PITCH BLACK parking lot for over two hours... jerk.

Saturday and Sunday were relatively uneventful, did a shitload of laundry, cleaned my house and attempted to install a dog run. The dog run project is currently on hold until next weekend, but will be great... :)
