Most of the time blogs start off with a nice little story or intro of some kind. I don't have one of those today.
I'm gonna get right to the point.
I'm an 80's fangirl.
That's right. I heart the hair bands.
Tonight is huge. Tonight, I am headed to see Skid Row and L.A. Guns. Now, you might be thinking "big deal" but there's more...I get to go BACKSTAGE BITCHES!
I'll give you a minute to get yourselves under control. We good? Ok...
Through the magic that is "a friend of a friend" I am not only going backstage, but we will be HANGING OUT with Sebastian Bach and Phil Lewis.
So this guy that is friends with a guy that I work with who knows a guy that happens to play poker with the hubs on Thursday nights actually KNOWS Phil Lewis from L.A. Guns. Knows him! Like PERSONALLY. O.M.G.
Notice the Lost Boys t-shirt. *swoon*
I've been practicing not being a drooling idiot. Practicing not regressing back to being a 14 year old with large (enormous, really.) bangs.
Hubs has been trying to help me calm down.
Me: What if I freak out and grab Sebastian's hair?
Hubs: Jesus Christ, Ang. Chill out.
Me: What if I start crying? Or shaking?
Hubs: Are you kidding me? Just shake the mans hand. Tell him you've always been a fan. That you love his music. That it's nice to finally meet him.
Me: What if I start humping his leg and can't stop?
Hubs: WTF?
Me: If I offer to service him, I don't really mean it Ok?
Hubs: ...
My bedroom was wallpapered with these guys. I had every tape (yes, tape.), every magazine article, Rolling Stone cover...you name it, it was taped to my wall.
I took a graphic arts class in high school. For one of my final projects I recreated the inside cover of L.A. Guns Hollywood Vampires album and screen printed it by hand.
I imagine that by now these men have accepted the transition and become familiar with fact that the once blubbering teen metal head girls are now slobbering 30 something moms.
I wish I could have met them when I didn't have wrinkles, extra pounds and stretch marks. Things might have turned out much differently.
That said, I promise to write an update post and include pictures. Assuming I don't end up in jail for assault.
Absolutely hilarious. I hope everything goes well! And that the leg hump isn't *too* awkward.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how excited I'd be if I ever got to meet the Backstreet Boys :)
About a year before I got into metal music I was totally crushing on New Kids On The Block-THE original boy band. I saw them in concert 3 times. :P
ReplyDeleteI loved Sebastian Bach growing up and still have a bunch of Skid Row songs on my iPod in regular rotation. I hope you have fun and can't wait to see pics. Oh...and don't worry about the wrinkles and extra pounds...you aren't the only one. Mr. Bach is no longer so skinny either...but still kind of yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!!
I'm sure you'll have a great time! I was wondering just what these guys all looked like today, and then saw Shana's comment.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I was working selling t-shirts at a Peter Frampton concert, and on the shirts he still had long Peter Frampton hair, but in real life he was pretty bald.
I guess that's true! I've seen the recent pictures, but in my head they still look like the posters in my room. Sebastian Bach -is- stilly yummy. I don't mind a bit of weight on mah men. ;P
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
ReplyDeleteThat Lost Boys tshirt makes my heart swoon. Jason Patric was so freakin' hawt in the movie!
He is! Keifer Sutherland can bite me any time he pleases!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the 80's too and I would die if I could meet so many of the hair bands! You will be fine. Humping legs...so allowed. And if you are worried about being in your 30's, remember that they are at least in their 40's! Ok, so forget the fact that men only get better looking with age. That is only counter-productive. Stick to leg humping and you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Humping his leg? Love the hubby's response. WTF? Hee hee hee heeee You crack me up. Well, please do post again and tell us if the reality of your lustfilled teenaged fantasies of hair bandom is fulfilled :-)!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me the fuck up xD I don't understand it (the hair metal fixation), but i'm super thrilled for you! I'd feel the same way if I got to meet Chino Moreno or Noah Lennox.
ReplyDeleteOnly I'd mean it if i offered to service them ;)
ME TOO! ME TOOO!!
ReplyDeleteHoly mother of bangs girl. You get to HANG OUT with Sebastian Bach!? Do you know how much I wanted him back when Skid Row was the bomb?! DO YOU KNOW!?!? Of course you do. Cos you too had posters strung all over your walls just like me.
Soul sisters. United by aqua net and bangs. My bangs were 5 1/2 inches high - no lie.
Plus, I love the convo you and Hubs had. lmao! HAVE FUN!!!
Wish i had read this post first!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI got a lot of catching up!!
We all have a little of our past in us! I had a great time at Bon Jovi this summer! :)
