Well I'm here reporting from the famous DETROIT ROCK CITY . . its a huge eh of a city . . no offence to Vicki and my NOGH boys . . but I REALLY hate your home town . . You want dirty? come to Detroit, I guess . . oh and to set the fire a blaze . . they have no WAMU . .
Yesterday or well for the past 2 1/2 days we were stationed in Chicago . . Like Detroit I didn't really like Chicago . . Don't get me wrong the people were shockingly NICE AS HAIL . . . The venue was next to a train station and we found ourselves screaming over its roaring screeches more than we would have like to . .
Chicago-ians are amazing with their pride and representation of their city . . I swear the entire city was decked down in Cubs uniforms and signs that said CUBS FAN? welcome! . . . I'm sure the reason was an early game . . but even in LA I've never seen so many people wearing one uniform .. . Also on my journey into the city I stopped by a store I've wanted to visit FOREVER (well since its opening) . . . the prime reason TECHNICALLY for ever going to Chicago . . . THE CLANDESTINE STORE . . and oh em gee . . is it tiny. . I walk in there trying to go through my memory if there would be more than one store just thinking no no this is it . . The man working (who I feel really bad for not asking his name, but we shall call him) Freddie asked if I needed any assistance . . This is when the fan girl EXPLODED . . I basically ran through everything I knew about the store with him . . Naturally I asked where the fitting room doors were he walked me in and let me take as many pictures as I wanted . . The famous and my favorite door that says "Ill show you mine if you show me yours" is seriously small as HAIL . . and the dressing room . . is tiny . . . I had to bend in all sorts of directions just to get a good pic . . and get this . . . The damn store has a barber shop in the back which according to the hot/sexy barber is only open mostly fridays-sundays . .. and there is also a quote above on the wall that says something like "This Machine Kills Fashion" . . lord . . I was in heaven . . The fact that Freddie was so effing nice about the whole situation . . knew I was a fan girl for the store itself was just amazing . . I showed off my clan bat proudly . . I was insanely sane . . ha ha . . OH and I saw the new jacket .. . I WANT IT SOOOOOOOOOO BAD . .
The shows out here are so so . . A bunch of cry babies like the Colorado shows . . Both nights the let in was so sketchy that the group was SEPERATED both nights . . but it was ok . . love for Billy Talent on both sides of the barricade. . right.
I'd like to give a shout out to Alex . . Alex is Billy Talent's merch man and he's the nicest man on the merch scene. . He's my new BFF from the canada side ( tho I'm almost certain he's either Irish or Scottish) . . . he gives me breaks when I make him a sale . . amazing . . . oh . . . and I bought another DVD courtesy of Mr. Alex's opinon and my "employee/ a regular" discount . . and OH EM GEE is it just an amazing dvd at that . . . if u thought the Try Honesty dvd was hilarious . . try the SCANDALOUS TRAVELERS dvd . . packed with all sorts of Ian and Ben fun . . gah . . I love my boys in Billy Talent . .
oh and a little PS about one of the girls last night . . we were all running to the barricade . . I was hauling ass . . luckily it was down hill so it was easy . . and I hauled ass. . a little girl beat me . . I'm like . .shit . . as soon as she hit the barricade she collapsed. . I was like uhhhhh did u hit your head? she literally just fell. . I made her get up and she walked out . . . Hello Barricade . .
I guess that is all . . Chicago you were great . . minus the fact you ate my debit card and the fact I hate you . . . but I may come back one day. . eh . . what em I saying . . ill be back
till next time kids!
take care
