We're up all night
To see the sun come up again now...
Dan and I went to see one of our favorite bands at the Grog Shop last night- Unwritten Law, and my ears are still ringing, eight hours later. We actually danced our first dance at our wedding to one of their songs- a pretty, slowed-down piano version of "The Rest of My Life". They did not play that song last night, but then, I wasn't really expecting them to.
The show reminded me of my old days of going to see bands play, sometimes a couple times a month. I used to LOVE going to the old Grog Shop back in the days before it moved- even though the bathrooms there were thoroughly disgusting and the doll heads hanging from the ceiling always freaked me out. There's just nothing like seeing a band you admire up close and personal in a small club. And UL totally rocked it last night, regardless of the fact that I'm pretty certain they were all wa-hay-sted by the time they took the stage (which was around 9:30).
Is it totally sad that I was almost weeping with joy when we found out they were playing 3rd and not 4th out of 4 bands? The fact that I was SO HAPPY that I'd be home before one am on a school night might be just a little depressing. But hey, I'm not 21 anymore. I cannot stay up all night when I have to be at work at 7:30. Just the way it is. Meh.
I'll leave you with a few pretty lyrics from our wedding song, even though they did not play it last night. It was still a great show.
I know, I'm so slow
But I'm tryin'
And I'm still dyin' to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
