Part 1: THE DRESS
Clearly there will be no picture here, but I found "THE DRESS". I went to Fountaine's Bridal here in Wilmington and tried on some dresses. I narrowed it down to two. One was pretty and very inexpensive, but the other was so pretty and perfect, but more expensive. It came down to Jew vs. Bride. Well, Bride won :) I can't wait!
Part 2: SEVENDUST
Chris and I went to eat at the House of Blues before the show so that we could "Pass the Line". We showed up pretty early (4 p.m.) and ate and then went up to the bar to have a couple Happy Hour drinks. We got bourbon and gingers for $3! (I love SC just for happy hour!) So about 15 minutes later, Chris nudges me. One seat away from him is LAJON WITHERSPOON (the lead singer of Sevendust). So, I scurried my butt over, sat down next to him, and we bought him a drink.
So we got to talkin, learned he recently got married and a bunch of other stuff. He really seemed to like us and asked me to write our names down on a napkin, which I did. Turns out he wanted to get us on the guest list for backstage passes!!!! After he had left, we had another drink and were ready to go get in line for the "pass the line" (it's where you get in before the doors actually open). We were about to go and the nice bartender lady looks to us and say, "Hey, I noticed you guys were drinking bourbon earlier and I misspoured these two bourbon & cokes, do you want them...to go?" DUH! So we go inside and the opening act was great and Sevendust killed it!! Lajon promised me earlier he would play "Face To Face" and totally did and I believe he may have done some sort of dedication at the beginning to us. He said later that he even did some running gestures in there for us (I told him it's how I finish every 5k). He also played "Enemy" and "Rumblefish" which we had specifically told him we ran to as well. So, after the show, we go upstairs (w/ about 30 other folks) to hang out with them. We go straight to LJ and I thanked him for hooking us up. Then, he embarassed me. I had mentioned that I think Morgan (the drummer) is incredible so he decided to personally introduce us. He said, "Stephanie meet Mr. Rose" So embarassing!! But I totally got to hang out w/ Morgan for quite a bit. It turns out he uses Biofreeze and Tens units, so I gave him my work phone number so I could send him some stuff from SME :)
Oh what a great night! If Sevendust wasn't already my favorite rock band, they totally would be now.
Okay, so be totally jealous of my day ;)
