People Seen/Met at Patchogue, LI

• the two girls i walked with to the venue. don't remember their names. they were cool.
• saw sarah and tonya. loved their clothes. you guys must have been freezing, though!
• saw laura at the train station. got all "that's BaB Laura!" but was too cold and tired to get up and say hi.
• saw kate.
• ben jelen. who was stoned out of his ass. he ran into me in the lobby. actually lost my balance. that boy needs a haircut. and some manners.
• amanda and gracie. they were the coolest, most incoherent, sleep deprived, and insane people i've ever met. had me laughing for the goddammed hour and a half we waited for the train.

Concert: The Notes

• ben jelen is boring.
• the girls beside me were complete bitches. yeah, kid. i have a hole in my jeans. give it a rest.
• i danced. my ass off. until i was sweaty and needed water. until i was glad for slow songs so i could take a break.
• crazy/beautiful is, well, beautiful. had never heard that song. am completely in love with it.
• zac. guitar. solo. my god, i would give my left foot to fuck that boy.
• the encore was plugged in. it was amazing. AMAZING! i have to start saving up for the next tour.
• i had pretty shitty seats. but i still had fun.
• they're amazing. talented. beautiful. funny.
• taylor said "ass." that one goes in the "first time hanson cusses in a concert" file.
• no mmmbop. excellent decision, but a weird kind of disappointment.
• ike rocked that "ain't no sunshine" for all it was worth.
• body parts used by taylor to play the piano: feet, legs, forearms, hands, fingers, hair.
• patchogue is the hell hole of Long Island. frozen assed tundra.

Hanging Out at 34th Street's H&M

• i was checking out the underwear and a girl came up to me and asked about my hanson tank top. asked me whether i had been at the show. said yes.
• calls over her friend. and suddenly i realized: kate had approached me and had called natalie over. complete with baby stroller.
• asked me where i was from, if i had enjoyed the concert, told me the panties i had picked out were cute.
• just realized: they picked out underwear while talking to me. i know what underwear tay and zac will see. that's fucked up.
• my sister saying: "let's follow them! they're bound to meet up with hanson at some point!" to which i replied: "i'm probably the only fan they've encountered that hasn't a) insulted them and b) asked to take pictures of ezra or even *see* ezra. i'd like to be in the "nice fan" category. not the "stalker" file." (the baby stroller had a curtain thingie.)

Other Notables

• mad dash from bus stop at 8th and 42nd to Grand Central. almost missed my bus. twice.
• Ha! Comedy Club. i was picked on many times because my shirt was low cut and see through. hehe.
