To celebrate the fact that my girlfriend and I have been dating for three years as of today, we spent this last weekend in Kansas City. Turned out to be an awesome weekend.
We left on Friday before lunch so that she could take a test in one of her classes. She thinks she did well, so that put us off on a good start. I drove the whole way up there. Not that I'm complaining, I like to be alive, so I do as much of the driving as I can without her realizing why. We checked into our hotel and had just enough time to get some food before we went to the Blind Pilot concert started. Some fancy little outdoor bar. They had a green chili cheeseburger, so of course thats what I got. It had a whole green chili on it! Reminded me of home. It was good, but it wasn't as good as one from New Mexico, but this is to be expected.
The concert's headliner was Brett Dennen. I'm a big Brett Dennen fan, but Blind Pilot is my favorite band of all times, so we mainly went to see them. After their set (which was awesome) we watched about 4 Brett Dennen songs before we were ready to go. As we were driving away from the concert, we saw Blind Pilot in their tour bus. We debated for a few blocks before we realized that we had no choice but to go over to the van and tell them we love them. So we turned around, parked the car illegally and went to the bus. As we were walking up, I saw some people through the windows of the bus pointing at me and smiling. It was because I was wearing my Blind Pilot shirt that they hadnt sold in a while or in this part of the country. When we got to the bus, I told them how awesome I thought they were and how we drove 6 hours to hear them. They were so cool. I asked if kristine and I could take a picture with them, so they said sure, but a few of the members were still inside the concert hall. I said crap, they wont let us back in since we have already left. Then their manager said no problem follow me. We walked right up to the bouncers and the manager said, theyre with us. So we walked back into the show with the band and found the other members. I shook all of their hands and told them that they were my heroes. Then we all took a picture together. It was so freaking cool I cant even describe it.
The next day we went to the farmers market in Kansas City. That was pretty cool. Bought some nifty spices and bread. Then we drove to Fulton, Missouri to watch Kristines brothers soccer game. That was pretty sweet too. After that we all went to his fraternity house and got the tour. They cram so many guys into such a small space I would probably die, but he likes it so that awesome.
After that, we drove to Lawrence, Kansas to watch the OU KU football game. We won, which also was awesome, but the team didn't kick as much butt as I was hoping for.
The next day we drove home, but along the way we stopped at some random side of the highway gas station. While we were filling up, I went over and picked some wild sunflowers from a little patch in a field. I gave them to Kristine, cuz Im such a nice guy.
Got home just in time to study and catch the last inning of the Cards game. Going to the world series! ha what a good weekend.
