TLCB Gig #4

There was such anticipation going to this gig. I slept in Friday morning so I could have maximum alertness at the gig. I even called the place we were going to, a restaurant called Cloud 9 Grille, to make reservations. I requested the table closest to the band since we were really visiting their place to see the band. So the time comes. It's 6:30pm. I'm on the road with my girlfriends to see a great band, have some food, and enjoy it in the best seats ever! So it seems I should have been looking at this all evening:



Instead, I spent the night looking at this:

On the way to Madison I got what I thought was motion sickness. However, what I really had was a 12 hour flu bug. I can't believe it hit me at that time. I missed out on the best gig ever! I missed out on conversations about wearing white socks with black shoes, how Lucas writes new songs, hearing a brand new song without a name, watching the crazy lady sing, dance, and take pictures, and enjoy our own personal farewell! That is a huge!!! I missed it all! To top it off I made the girls all leave early, had to stop half way home to puke at a gas station, puked in a cup 20 seconds from my house, and was miserable the whole way home. The only thing that made it bearable was listening the girls' conversation on the way back.

So my exciting night is not over yet! I walk in the door and down the hall. I'm about to fall into bed when Alexis opens her door, crying, and says, "My stomach really hurts!" To which I hastily reply, "GRAB A BOWL!" She and I spend the entire night taking turns throwing up, rinsing our bowls, trying to have conversation, and being altogether miserable and uncomfortable. At about 7:30am we both feel better and fall asleep. CRAZY! Then it was over. All it took for Alexis to feel better was one day of crackers and Popsicles and then 14 hours of sleep. I feel like I am still recovering! No fair! Ben got it Sunday night and he's still recovering.

Who's ready for the real Spring? ME ME ME!!! No more sickness!
