We headed out to Detroit at about 5 o'clock making a few random stops along the way for cash, smokes, oil and a Monster energy drink. We got downtown at about 6 o'clock and headed over to Jacoby's for a little pre-show drinking. I had never been to Jacoby's before that, but I will definitely go back the next time I am headed to St. Andrews.
And speaking of St Andrews, it was only my second time to that venue and I have to say its my favorite place to see a show! It's so small, you can get right up front! And let me tell you, Ian was as close to Lily as he could get! We were front and center in no time, fighting off the 15 year old girls around us and the random "12 year old" kid that kept yelling things like "Lily! Rock, Paper, Scissors!" " I love you Lily" "I would let you cheat off me in science!" That kid was great.
Oh I suppose I should also mention the one weird chick we were talking to for a bit, I'm not sure why, other than the fact that she liked Coldplay, I kinda wanted to kick her ass. Beats me, not that I would have even wanted to or tried to, and as it turns out, Ian thinks she would have beatin me silly.
After the show, the drummer tossed his drumsticks out to the audience and this little 15 year old girl reaches over the barricade to pick them both up, and Ian actually helped her, but when she dropped one he swooped it up. She and her stupid gothic boyfriend actually had the never to tell Ian it was hers, and he was like "nope!" They called the security guard over, who pretty much didn't care at all and we took off out of there.
We put the drumstick in my car and headed back over to see if we could meet Lily. There was this one guy out there begging in the parking lot and I told him I was sorry but that I didn't have any cash, and Ian said the same, I couldn't help myself but I looked at him and I was like "Credit has really screwed up your gig, huh?" The man agreed. Anyway, we started talking to some guys putting their gear away, one of which was the keyboard player for Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. He was really cool. We also talked to some guy that was with Lily, and he was pretty cool, we followed him over to her bus and she opened the window and Ian was able to get her autograph, twice. Ian got a million pics, and posted them all on his FB.
After that we were both pretty hungry so Ian led me over to Lafayette Coney, and I gotta say, that was the best coney ever! Really awesome! We weren't ready to head home just yet so we made our way back to Rochester Hills and went to Bourbon Jakes. We hung out there for a bit, but being that it was Monday, they kicked us out early. So we went on over to CJ Mahoney's. Ian was told that he knew one of the bartenders through a mutual friend, and it was just our luck he was there. We hung out with this couple there, a girl named Jill and her husband the Firefighter. I have no idea what time we ever left there, but I know it was way late. We headed over to Rams Horn and got some breakfast... I don't regret taking Tuesday off of work at all!
I really look forward to the next concert I get to see with Ian, or at St. Andrews!
