Today, Barb is: on cloud nine!
and i don't want to come down!

so today is saturday, yea saturday.
last night was one of the best night in my life!
so we had the concert last night and i was helping to sell stuff for IRA and so we were waiting for them to come, just hanging out.
they were supposed to be there like around 4.30ish, but they didn't get there until like 7.30ish, but it was all good.

the first guy i met was tommy, and i didn't even put it together that he was Tom O'Donnel, the IRA bassist. so yea, that was a shock there. but then Andrea and I got the stuff set up and it was fun. they then played their set, it was amazing! like, just unreal. i loved it so much. the Hopefuls played before them and they just rocked the house! but then when IRA got up there, it was something else. they were so freakin awesome. they rocked so much! and then when they were done, it was cool because we sold a bunch of stuff. and then i got to meet the band. the WHOLE band. they all know me by name right now. and after that i got my picture taken with them and they signed my sign and i was SO excited. after that, they had gotten all packed up and i asked them where they were going to go, if just back to the hotel or out to a bar, they wanted to go back to the hotel so they could get out of their sweaty clothes. and then they wanted to go out to a bar. i told them that the only bar worth while was Emma's. i convinced them to come out to emma's with the group of us. it was amazing! so i went and grabbed some food since i hadn't eaten anything since around 2ish that day when i met mom for chipotle. so i grabbed food and went there and 2 seconds after i walked in, they did too! it was three of the guys and their driver/roadie. it was amazing! we hung out, talked, Ike bought me my drinks, Ike bought me FLOWERS!!!!! yea that is right, i have had flower bought for me on 2 occassions. once was freshman year in college when my friends Ryan and Eli bought me a rose, and then Ike bought me a boquet of flowers! so Ike is the nicest guy in the WORLD! like the whole band is just amazing.

and then! so after hanging out with them for like, 3 hours i had to go home so i said goodbye to them all and we hugged and kisses were given on the cheek, ahhh, it was great. so i went home. then this morning, since i knew they were staying at the Country Inn and that is like 200 feet from my apartment, as i was driving to work this morning, i decided to swing in and see if the bus was there or if they had left, as i am driving in, the bus is there and the guys are standing around getting in and ready to leave. so i jumped out of the van and went to say goodbye to them. it was great because they all knew my name and told me that they all had so much fun and that they wanted to see me at their next show in the cities which is in November, and Ike said that Karyn(she is our campus event coordinator) had his email and that i should email them and they would put me on the comp list so i can get in for free! and they all said goodbye and then drove off into the sunset. but the driver did ask me for easiest directions on how to get to 94, ahhh so yea, if anyone wants to go to a KICK @$$ show with me, just let me know, because i will be there!

so in short,
i love the Ike Reilly Assassination!!!!!
