Alex and Iggy's Excellent Adventure
On a nice Friday morning...I sleep, I hear my cellfone ring. I ignore it. Moments later I hear the house phone ringing. I go and pick it up. Alex tell's me he's gonna pick me up in 15 mins. So, I quickly dress up all nice and presentable and make myself a sub sandwich. Alex picks me up and we go off to Minneapolis. On the way there Axel had to stop and get some McD's fer breakfast.
Its all coo' we then ride to MPLS. Once we get there we try to find a parking spot..and that was a bitch! but we found one..and then had to walk like 12 blocks to "The Loft" where Billy was appearing. As we got to this Loft we had to wait outside in a line...for like an hour. Thankfully we got there at 10 so we were close to the door. But there were people inside already. Alex found some people to chat to about Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer and other stuff. I was just listening..I took some pics of the line and Alex waiting. Etc.
At 10:45-50 we were let into the building. Went upstairs and into the room where the show was gonna happen. We sat down and then these people in charge tell us the show will start at noon (12p) so we fuckin wait for an hour. Havin fun. Then Billy comes in at 12:03 and gets a standing ovation hehe. I stood up and clapped my hands as well.
Billy and Jim Walsh, the dude who was interviewing Billy Corgan..spoke for 35 minutes..it was short but sweet. Billy comes off as a very calm, and nice guy. The things he says makes you think. I can't talk about the things he says cuz I couldnt hear some of it but the aura he gave off was present. Hehe. After the presentation we were let to where Billy was signing books! I took two pics which capture Billy Corgan, and a priceless grin on Alex's face =) (i know u loved that moment!)
After that on the way out I took pics of Alex feeling HAPPY, and thats cool shit...nothing feels better than happinness! Yayuh.
On the way to the car we went to Caribou shop..this is like this coffee place..and Alex got himself some kind of a coffee 'shake' I think..but the girl got the order wrong and gave him the Vanilla one..and that was cool cuz I could take it of no charge! LOL..thats too cool.
We proceeded to go to the car, me snappin pics along the way "MOAN" lol.. foggy skylines, our milkshakes..etc..that shit was fun. We got back to MOUND, home sweet FUCKiNG Home. Love, MOUND!!! Stayed at Alex's place for a bit and collected all the change from 6 months..took it all to bank, got 80 dollars off of it!!! haha + Alex got a raise too. You can imagine how great he was feeling that day!!! We went to Excelsior to buy some strings for the broken guitar. Alex got a harmonica - he's fuckin hooked on that shit! after that we went to Snyder's to take the pics to get developed, lol and met Shauna there, but kinda just ignored her haha..that was 4pm..went back home, played Vice City - just relaxed for an hour. Went back to Snyder's at 5 and got our pics..turned out pretty good. I was happy with all of 'em except like 1..overhead shot that I took when we were in line waiting for the book to be signed by Billy.
All the pics were sweet!
We went home and again, played Vice City, watched some TV and went to Jubilee to meet Bill. lol we just chilled there while he was working. When he went to his break we followed him and ate with him. prank called this girl who was working at Jubilee, that was funny. "Steve Vasquez"
After Jubilee we went to Scotty B's where we had milkshakes. We just relaxed there for a bit. Alex went to talk with Bob while I called up Bree and we spoke for like 5 mins before she had to go. We got HOME, for like 100000000000th time lol and again just relaxed, watched TV and at 1am my great friend ALEX drove me home.
Overall, this day was a really great one. Both of us had a shitload of funtime.
on a bad note: we sold the house and on Nov 12 i have to move to Virginia. FUCK THAT.
=(

Cross your fingers, Bill...I asked Tom to ask his parents if it's all right with them if they be my host family until I graduate.
