I overslept this morning, and managed to wake up at 12pm. 12PM is when my all time favorite band, Jimmy Eat World, was to start signing autographs at the record store on campus. Figuring I already missed my opportunity, I just kind of got ready for class, and went about my business. I put my Jimmy CD in my bag, figuring I’m an hour early for class, I’ll walk by the place and see if they’re still there.
They were. I jumped in a suprisingly small line, and waited. It only took about 5 minutes to get up to the band. Their were some really cute girls in line that I was too scared to talk to. I mean, I had an opening line, “Hey you like the same music I do”, and I had them cornered, and I freaking wussed out. Sometimes I’m not suprised the guys on my floor suspect me of playing for the other team.
Anyhow, I got all four band members to sign me Futures CD. It’s awesome. It told them how hard they rocked on monday night, and how awesome it was. They were really nice guys, and you could tell they were there because they wanted to be there. Not because Mr. Execeutive told them it’d help sales.
After that I went to class, in the rain. It’s cold here, 60°, and it’s windy like hell. I didn’t sign up for this. What the hell, this is ARIZONA. I can’t complain, it kind of makes me feel like I am back home.
