Little Miss Busy Body

..so, i've been feeling extra productive as of late. which is a good thing, because i spent so much time being unproductive. anyhoo, my weekend was pretty dope. exhausting, but, definitely dope.

friday after work, and...the mini monsoon we had here in huntsville, i went to pick up the cake for the shower i was throwing for my friend on saturday. after that and other shower errands, i didn't get home until around 8 or 9pm. i spent the rest of the evening preparing for the following day's event...well, that, and on the phone chatting with my friend candice until about 3am. i think i finally drifted off to sleep around 330am.

saturday morning, i woke up and started getting ready for the day ahead of me. i think i left my house around 9am and headed back to the cake shop...there was a minor mishap with the cake-- it fell (not as in, i dropped it, but i guess the way that they had it stacked, it just, well, fell).

a mess, right? yeah, so i dropped it off for them to repair, then went on to where the shower was to be held (at her folks' house). spent a couple of hours setting up, and then headed back out at 11 for the cake....was in sort of a time crunch, left at 11, the cake place is all the way on the other side of town, and the shower was to start at noon. ugh. luckily, they were able to fix the cake and i got back just in time for the shower to begin. i think everything turned out just perfectly. she was happy so that made me happy! it was though, my first, and last shower of any sort, lol. ever. i'll attend them, but i'm not throwing any more, lol. anyways, see the link below to a slideshow i created to see how it turned out:

after clean up and everything, i didn't get home until around 4pm. i relaxed for a bit, and then hit the road headed to nashville for josh hoge, tony lucca, and curtis peoples at 12th & porter. it was...well, effin awesome! tony lucca opened the show. i had heard of him, but never really heard his music. let me just say, he rawked my friggin' socks off. let me give you a little sample...here's some video of him i captured singing his song "melancholy collar" (my favorite song of his by the way):

naturally, i had to purchase both his albums (one of which, he signed for me)...and then we had to get our kodak moment on.

the lead guitar guy for curtis peoples, me, and tony lucca...we're gonna start a new band, it's called Reverse Oreo, lol.

up next was curtis peoples, i'm not a big fan of his, but his lead guitar (pictured above with the pigtails) was killing it, he was very entertaining to watch...i find i always end up with my eyes glued to the person that plays/sings with the most passion, and he was it.

curtis peoples
..and the crew...

and last, but not least, mr.hoge. he pretty much performed his ass off, it was great! of course, i expect nothing less than the best from the guy. he performed all of my faves, including Shadow, and try...and of course, ain't no sunshine...except it was an extended edition, which I LOVE. check out the pix and vids that i captured, below:

Josh Hoge & Trey Lockerbie-Try

Josh Hoge-Ain't No Sunshine

the drive back was terribly horrendous, i'm sure i had about thirty, 3-second doze-offs. horrid. i got home around 2am. i immediately crashed out, and didn't wake up again until about 430pm on sunday. needless to say, i didn't have much of an Easter, but i did get plenty of rest.

so, that was my weekend. can't wait to see what next weekend has in store....i'll catch up with you all sometime later this week, maybe i'll have something to talk about, we'll see.

oh yeah, before i go, i have a little footage from the show i went to thursday night at 3rd & lindsley, here goes:
