My Last Night In Dallas
I just moved to California as you all well know. I'm really enjoying it so far here but there is still a part of me that misses Dallas. So much of my life was in Dallas and it holds so many memories. I absolutely love Dallas.
Well.. to the Point. I want to talk about my last night in Dallas. It will definately be a night to remember. A few weeks prior to my depature date my departure date, my brother called me with a big surprise. He told me that Assemblage 23 would be coming to town again as well as Imperative Reaction. These are bands that I absolutely love! They are great industrial bands. Then he hit me with an even bigger surprise...
Sam- "Guess who else is coming?"
Me- "Uh.. who?" **in great anticipation**
Sam- "VNV"
Me- **stunned silence**.... "WHEN!?"
Sam- "Some time at the end of May.. or maybe middle May"
Me- "Oh man you've got to be kidding me!" **suddenly fear stricken as I would be leaving Dallas on May 16th that I might once again miss the concert**
Once I got home later that night i discovered that the concert was May 15th! I couldn't believe it. It seemed as though all the peices were fitting into place and I was so excited! I immediately bought my ticket. I then realized.. Brek is going to be there. VNV would be playing and Imperative would be one of their opening bands. Brek wouldn't be missing this. Again, a knot of fear welled up in my stomach. I was going to see Brek on my last night in Dallas. It was a sure thing. We haven't spoken in months.. almost a year.
Nevertheless.. time went by and swiftly the date came. My last night in Dallas. I was at my parents.. trying to get everything done swiftly since Sam and I had to be in Dallas by 7 to get in line for the concert. I was extremely cute that night. I wore my newest corset, one of my cute short skirts. (tired to remember which one)..... , and my black boots, naturally. I had just gotten my hair done about a week ago so it was short, spikey, and uber-black. Instead of my usual gel or hair spray that night, I wore my hair wax which I hadn't worn in months. Upon smelling it's familiar scent I began to tear up. It's what I used to wear when I was with Brek, when Brek and I were friends. It was the smell that he recognized as me and the one that lingered on him after the first night we had met. In fact, he had woken up the next morning to that scent and for a split second had thought he had brought me home with him. heh heh. I figured that by wearing this if I saw him, he'd be able to make another scent memory, it might tug at his heart strings a bit, and well.. it would be recognizable.
So Sam and I got to Dallas around 7 and were about 3rd in line. It was great. I was so excited. VNV Nation is my most favorite band, running a very close tie to Apoptygma Berzerk. I of course was all a wiggle and scoping out all the people who were there. Our friend Tommy was there and we hung out and talked with her. Eventually, Amber and AJ showed up and we talked with them. People were walking out about getting prepared for the show and then Mark the drummer for VNV walked by. I about melted! lol. I couldn't believe it. I've been wanting to see this band for so long. I've watched their DVD numerous times, own all their Cd's, sport one of their stickers on my car, and just love thier music. We were all so giddy, mainly me. Of course then Ronan (VNV's lead man) was outside of the the big RV thing. Sam dragged me over to him to meet him. He is so adorable and so awesome. I got a picture with him and he autographed my ticket! I was so excited .... (To be Continued!)
