A Dinner Date With a Freak…
Last night Freak Magnet was in town to see Billy Squier, or like she calls him, her future husband. I know… like me I am sure you are all just shocked that: A) He is still alive and B) Anyone remembers who the hell he is. I only remember him because I have VH1 Classic and every now and then they run out of shit to play and throw one of his videos on.
Anyway, after the show she gave me a call so we could get together for some coffee and food before she makes the trek back to MD. AK and I met up with Freak and her friend in Hoboken and took her to a diner I enjoy a couple towns over. First we stopped over by the river so she could take in the beautiful view of NYC we get on this side of the Hudson. We talked a little about her experience in NYC and at the show. By about 12:30 they decided that they needed to start on their way back to MD. I don’t think there is any band that I would drive 3 - 4 hours away for, so I give her credit for that.
Too bad it was for Billy Squier though.
Had a good time, sucks that it wasn’t earlier in the night, but as least we got together for an hour or so and had some laughs. And it was a nice way to end a crappy day. I have been swamped lately with a project that finally got out the door basically done yesterday. It was a multimedia CD-Rom for a large corporation, and it was just massive as far as the amount of information that needed to be on the CD. Just waiting for some edits and hopefully the rest of the process will be painless… doubtful though. I wanted the project done on Monday, so by Wednesday I was going nuts trying to get it done and at the same time beating myself up for not finishing it when I planned to. Thankfully by the time Freak was around I was in a good mood.
She also brought me some Ayn Rand books, so that was nice. Thanks, Freak!
