TGIM... ? It was wonderful to sleep in today! We went to a mall and got my mum's phone looked at, then eventually headed over to our friends house for more food! I thought it would be awkward, but it wasn't! There were so many mashed potatoes and yams, guhh, so delicious. She even had a nice rice addition, which was tasty!! Turns out the husband knows the band that is opening for Rise Against in Vancouver on Wednesday, and he's playing a song with them. When Rise Against heard about it, they said that they wanted to play a song with him too (maybe just one member is going to play with him, I'm not sure), so he gets to play a song with Rise Against! My dad mentioned to him that I'm a massive fan, and he asked (maybe the manager?) if I could get a backstage pass too, and OH MY GOODNESS they said I could, so I have a backstage pass to Rise Against!!
They're a big reason why I'm a vegetarian! On the way to a concert of theirs in '07 (my first concert), my dad mentioned that they were all vegetarians, then we got talking about common reasons for being vegetarian,. I started asking about slaughter houses, feed lots, chicken barns, glue factories and the like, and eventually shouted, 'I'M A VEGETARIAN,' and that's how the story goes.
I'm very excited.
I am so stoked that you get to go! This is a memory that you will share with friends for years to come, so enjoy it. Keep your eyes open and drink it all in!
