Lauren cannot shut up about this band, so i am going to check out these shows. the photo is Ari Gold and his uke at Cannes, ganked from his website.
today i heard about an open casting call for extras in a music video for an 80s wannabe band, you know how much i love the mascaraed men of the 80s... like don johnson... so i hopped in the volvomobile and drove to [a really cool thrift store in danbury]. i found some lacy underthings and some ankle boots, and legwarmers, but nothing stripey, rainbowed. wait, i did get a pair of dangle hoop earrings. i just need to comb my huge bangs out of my face more often now. then i went to the dollar store, which is the best place to buy underwear and pick up guys also buying underwear. after my quickie with tom (?) behind the racks of china import stickers, kitchen untensils, and various religious merchandise, i ended up with three plastic rings, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, two pairs of undies and something itchy i should probably get checked out. then it was onto HotTopic. all one word. it was a routine mission, tights and some random book on dark sign astrology i will probably regift. maybe lauren will like it. i hope she doesn't read this. at home i dumped the swag onto the floor, carefully cut off all the tags, and washed the undies. i can't wait to take some sexy pictures for the music video! I HOPE THEY CHOSE ME. I ALSO FOUND OUT THE GLORY OF THE SEATTLE-INVENTED PUKE-GASM. CALL ME FOR A FREE DEMONSTRATION.
i was going down 91 and saw this big brown volvo with smeared purple lipstick on the windows. i knew it was my flanny because at one point the lipstick read "DARLENE HEARTS YOU! THE MOON RULZ #1" so i pulled up beside him and sure enough, its was john flansburg and the hottest woman ever, his wife robin. suddenly he caught sight of my giant volvo next to his and sped away. he was dodging in and out of traffic and going about 80. i kept up for awhile, but realized my exit was coming up. so i called the one person i knew would egg me on: Lauren. at first she was all about it but soon she realized, knowing me, i probably had no gas in the car, and no way to find my way back from queens where i was sure to get lost. so i pulled off the highway, content that at the next tmbg show i will proudly park next to him and re-grafitti his car, once more Darlene will rule #1!!!!
i'm going back to westconn soon. thank god, i was going so stir crazy, being in my house all day and not anywhere fun, like new haven. i did get to see b.b. king over break, that was a good time. i ended up not working at the bookstore over christmas, i just never called my boss back after i said i would work, but now i can't go back. my brother asked me to drive him there, and was like, is this kid on drugs? i can NEVER go back there! (people say its obvious who writes this LJ, and i say, well duh, it's megan marden. that's me. anyone who says it's lauren because i've dropped the occasional d-bomb can shut up now.) i joined a band, i'm the hot chick bass player, so i will rock again in the near future. watch out american idol, here i come!
saturday afternoon i was getting desperate. jordan cancelled at the last minute for People Are Wrong and lauren and gregg both had to work and no losers from the echo wanted to go to the city either. while i was at Ritz picking up my photos it occured to me, why not take my brother? my mom wanted me to get him anyway, he was stranded at the mall. so after i left westconn i picked him up and instead of driving home i just got on the highway and kinda kidnapped my brother. eventually he gave up trying to escape at red lights and stop signs when i threatened to leave him in the car at the train station in Brewster all night until i got home from new york. he said "fine!" and refused to leave the car after that. great. when i got into the city, i wanted to track down the girl a few blocks up from grand central who's always sitting with a sign that says "i need $87 for a hotel room for the night" but she wasn't there, so i wandered back to grand central and found her drinking a bottled mineral water near track 124 with a couple mole people. finally i found someone to take the extra ticket! we got to the venue and the show was awesome. i can't wait to go next weekend. when i got back to Brewster, my brother was gone, my windows were smashed in and my tires were slashed. i guess he felt bad afterwards because there was a taxi waiting for me too. don't worry i'll get him back. after he falls asleep, its permenant marker time.

well kids, i'm back! by now you all know how people at irving plaza are wrong and how people at the echo are wrong so i will make this entry short by saying: who the heck is "prayersforain_"?
wednesday night was tmbg at toads. i didn't get to new haven until like 5:30 but it didn't matter because there was no one in line except lauren. i got an email like an hour before i left westconn saying to canvas the line for the tmbg mailing list but i was like, screw that, there's no one here, i'm not gonna worry about canvasing only 2 dudes and dykes. we got orange foam hands because we were first in line. even though everyone got them later anyway, we got them first therefore we're one point higher than them. my heart started fluttering when flanny arrived. lauren was so dumb, she actually looked at him walking inside, what was she thinking? you don't LOOK. sheesh. but my fears were dispelled because lauren was making googoo eyes at linnell all night anyway. corn mo was awesome, he's like an accordion playing meatloaf with a certain insecurity thats so endearing. tmbg came on around 9. they opened with songs off the new album, corn mo joined them for particle man. and yes, i know what you're wondering, my face was in.... well you know the rest. after the show, we waited outside, i was very determined to get a picture with flansburg. everyone mobbed him when he got on the bus, and he signed a few autographs, but when i walked over to him, he literally ran away, to his car. damn, is he still mad about the whole sneaking into the fez thing, or does he seriously not like me. afterwards we ate veggie burgers at the pizzaria next to store 24 and lauren left to visit her goth friends. the rest of the night is a blur, i really don't remember it, isn't that weird.
i'm so excited for tomorrow, its they might be giants and corn mo at toads place. i haven't seen TMBG for like, 2 months i'm dying!!!!! luckily everyone's classes end at 3:15 so we can leave westconn right then (me jordan and mike) for new haven. i'm going to bring a yo yo and some card games, maybe a hackey sack. but if i wear a dress i can't play hackey sack. lauren actually asked me if i was planning on bringing a camera. fool. of course i will. and since i'm pretty high up in the TMBG fan ranks, i can even save places in line. i don't care what anyone says, i'm going to be first in line and have my face in john flannsburg's crotch the whole time. i have to stand on flanny's side because all the linnel girls piss me off, they're all "i looooove yoooou i looooooovvvve yoooouuu" bleeh. i just know tomorrow i'll get that picture of me with the band, everyone has them but me, and i'm their biggest fan.
