So last Friday I headed up to Reno to catch up with one of my fav groups Carolina Liar. LOL, don't ask who they are because you already know, you just don't know you know them. Listen to this and when you mind goes "Oh Yeah" come back and read.
Now that you are back here we go. My work husband & his mistress came to pick me up. I adore Jurgen & Stacy and I miss having them here in Vegas with me, they were part of my sanity here. Anyhow we ate , hung out and just caught up on what's been going on since I was in Reno for Danielle's wedding last month.
Detour.....the wedding was amazingly beautiful! Love Danielle & Loki, here are a few pics.
OK Back to the road trip. Checked into the hotel and then we wandered and ran into 3/4 of the Liars and the wonderful Colette. Said some hello's and I would see them later.
LOL at some point Val arrived w/Vodka and the rest of the night gets slightly blurry! So here is what I know.
Danielle arrived and we did another food & catch up session. We all hung out until Jurgen & Stacy left. Went to the show (still drinking) and found half the Liars, LOL! Good thing we got there early because they went on 30 mins ahead of schedule! Impromptu photo...LMAO!
We went to our seats way in the back and decided to sneak into seats way in the front! LMAO we stayed there till the evil venue guy kicked us out. Not that it mattered my pics are a comical array of blurry shots! See..
Anyhow after the show we went and hung in the lobby. I am sure Gavin & David are amazing musicians and they have some amazing fans, but just not my cup of tea (or alcohol) in this case. So we kicked it in the lobby!
After a while we went upstairs to get Rickard's 1st birthday pressie of cookies & rice crispy treats, but ended up talking to Johan, Colette & Chad instead. After forever & Danielle buying Chad a drink we grabbed the stash of yum and went back to lobby. LOL more drunken pics!
Next Day it was up to Tahoe! I fell asleep in the car on a road & woke up in the forest! So pretty though! LOL and within an hour I had an altitude headache that I kept the next 24 hours! Such an amazing time though! We went to the beach at Camp Richardson, had some drink, Val cooked dinner, went to the casino and picked up my massive haul of chocolate from Stacy and then I slept in a Log Cabin!!
Next morning we were off to Falling Leaf Lake! We were supposed to get an early start but my lovely hostesses & host let me sleep! How amazing to wake up in fresh air and seriously in a REAL LOG CABIN! Apparently Falling Leaf is where they filmed the Bodyguard, which was pretty neat. Johnny is a wealth of info and facts and I really enjoyed listening to everything!
So we went up to the top and everyone but Robin and I hiked down, lol we took the car! The lake was like glass up there, insane how much it looks like a postcard! All I could say was WOW!
Anyhow arrived back in Vegas and jumped in the car with Lena off to San Diego. We got there sometime around midnight to Jezzica's and spent the next few hour just talking. The morning brought about the Winery's. Note to self, EAT BEFORE WINE TASTING STUPID! I was pretty intoxicated so we ate over priced horrible food to soak up alcohol. Got a case of the most amazing Champagne ever and picked up some wine for the boys as Rickards 2nd day of birthday pressies.
We started the trek down to San Diego with baby gifts & birthday gifts in hand. I immediately went into tour mode. LOL poor Lena I don't think she was expecting my high strung stressed out mode, but it passed.
Got to the venue and saw Armen & Mark. Mark took the pressies to his bunk for us and we went to enjoy the show. Bought tickets online on the way to SD and they ended up being 3rd row center! Not too bad.
The boys once again put on an amazing show! (Not like they ever don't) and since Lena sat on my drink during the show I was pretty sober for a little bit.
After the show we once again left and had some great Liar time. Met Leah, who is hands down adorable. Opened pressies and had some drinks before ending the night back in Temecula. Quick stop at in-n-out and after some chatter the night ended.
Next morning was a drive back to Vegas for the night where I went stir crazy, I'm so meant to be out traveling...somewhere!
Met Melissa at the airport and we were off to LAX to catch up with the guys in Pomona! Gotta love Mel, she backed till 4a to make Rickard homemade cupcakes for his 3rd and final birthday pressie. Best part was they made the trip thru the airport, on the plane, to the hotel and finally to Mark's bunk on the bus.
Pomona Pomona, LOL OK all I can say about this place was MAJOR CLUSTERFUCK! It reminded me of Wilminghell with the Sticks years ago. I wish Sean or Jason or someone would have come out and yelled or restored some kind of order, but of course nothing!
Nikki, Sue & I had the VIP package and Mel went in GA. Quick hang time w/the Liars since everything and everybody was running late. Got to see JB! Missed him. He did the first merch, LOL classic JB, miss seeing him in front of the lines.
Pomona was crazy! The crowd was pumped and the guys had an electrifying set! Such a good way for me to end! After the show & merch we hung out at the bar & met David Cook. LOL since I hadn't actually watched a show it was nice to met him, he was a really nice guy.
Such a great ending to an amazing road trip!
Then it was 2hr of sleep, a quick plane ride back to Vegas and straight to work. The best part was coming home to my baby. I miss her so much when I am gone. LOL but I didn't miss her sleeping in my bed! How can a 4y old take up sooooo much space! I love my grand baby though!
So there is where the road trip should end, but instead looks like I'll be seeing the guys one last time in Chicago for their last show.
LOL the fun never ends!
