a rock n roll love story
a year ago today, matt, a guy i worked with, invited me to see his band play at gastoff's. i told him i'd love to come to the show but i didn't have a way to get to there. later in the day he comes over to my desk to tell me he found me a ride with some of his buddies. i wasn't really in the mood to go out that night. i was unshowered and it was the middle of the week and i still had 3 more days of work 'til i could really sleep. but as i was getting stoned with my roomie that evening i decided to go. what did i have to lose besides money spent on beer? nothing! so off i went. i didn't know anyone there except for matt. and he had a bunch of friends to socalize with at the bar so once i said my hellos to him i looked around for a place to park myself (after i'd gotten a beer of course.) there, at a table next to the stage, i saw two guys sitting together. i walked over and introduced myself as i plopped down.
"hi i'm harmony and i don't know anyone here and you two seem like nice guys so i'm going to sit with you" smile
they smiled back and introduced themselves. pete and greg. pete played drums and greg played bass. we got to talking and laughing and talking and more laughing. greg and i seemed to have hit it off! soon, it was time for the band to play. the music was okay, but greg, greg stole the show, in my eyes anyway. every break between songs he was on the mike saying the most hilarious self deprecating shit. he was cajoling the crowd and making fun of himself and the rest of the band and i laughed my ass off. after the show, i went to get another beer and starting flirting with some random guy up at the bar. then my ride was leaving. but i didn't want to leave yet! i was having too much fun and wanted to drink more beer and hang out. so matt tells me he can find me another way home and then he mentions his bass player has a crush on me (yes i realize that sounds so highschool but we were all wasted and it set my heart aflutter!) i ditched the boy i was flirting with at the bar and went and sat down by myself. and shortly thereafter, greg joined me. more talking and a lot more flirting and of course more laughter ensued until it was bar time. i caught a ride back to greg and pete's place with them and greg and i kissed in the front seat of pete's car with the apples in stereo blasting in our ears the whole way home (yes, once again, very highschool of us! but oh so delicous and fun.) once we got to their house, my ride home, matt, was leaving. but i didn't want to leave yet. so greg and i talked and we decided i was staying there. yay! but i was worried because i actually wanted to hang out with greg again and wanted him to call me and if i stayed over, he'd have no reason to call me the next day. but he assured me that he'd call and i believed him. it was a great night. a night that changed my life forever. and true to his word, greg did call me the next day. i was one hungover happy chick when i got that call! we made a date to get together friday and we've been together ever since.
and that my friends, is a rock n roll love story.
