11 days into the new year and I'm finally sitting down to blog. For shame! But in my defense, I was trying to avoid the resolution blogging cliche. Not a good enough excuse? Fine. Take this:
New Year's Eve rocked! For Christmas, my mom got Joe tickets to see Stone Temple Pilots on NYE, so we loaded up on Advil and water in anticipation of the night to come and headed to Club Nokia for a rockin' night! (Note: not to be confused with the Nokia Theatre)
Our tickets were crappy in the sense that we were told the event was almost sold out and so we would have to sit in the wheelchair accessible seating and have chairs brought in. After making our way through the security line and finding our supposed seats, we found them already occupied by people in wheelchairs. Go figure.
Luckily, a very nice usher asked us if we needed help, and after explaining the situation to her she said they never should have sold us those seats. She then led us to new seats that were AWESOME! Mind you, anywhere you sit in Club Nokia is awesome- even the seats we originally had. But these were capital AWESOME!
We scurried off to grab drinks and found ourselves at a magical bar! I deem it magical because the bartender was sweet as pie and made one of the best lemon drops I've ever had! As a self-proclaimed lemon drop aficionado, let me tell ya, good ones are hard to come by.

There were 2 opening bands but I really only remember the second band, Billy Boy on Poison. They were uber everything great! Highly entertaining! I just tried to post a video of them playing that night, but don't know how to (or even if I can) embed something from Youtube. You can find them on myspace here though.
And then it happened ... STP began to play. I knew I liked them. I mean, I really liked them. But it wasn't until then that I realized how much I loved them! They played all my favorites and gave me one of my best concert moments, which was laying my head back on Joe with my eyes closed during "Creep". Thank you STP :)
We rang in the New Year with great music, kisses, champagne and balloons! It was truly the best new Year's Eve I've ever had!
:D
