Thursday, April 18

where are you going. not just a dave song but also what people say to me when i'm drunk.

hi.  it's me shannon.  resident lover of all things boozy and fun (within reason).

quick show of hands.  how many of you love steph from bourbon and glitter?
all of us?  ok good.  we're on the same page.
i'm actually not sure of the parameters for her link-up.  
i saw some outfits and also some drunkenness.
so i've decided to go with drunkenness in concert form.
and also i've been jamming to DMB all damn morning so i thought it was only fitting.

dave matthews band comes to alpine valley every year.  it's a damn tradition.
it's a two-day show filled with booze, games, and music.
every year i've gone the itinerary has been such:

1PM - leave the house
2PM - sit in line and wait to get in while enjoying a road soda.
2:30PM - get your shit set up.  which includes, but isn't limited to, a canopy, various coolers, a grill, bags set, ladder golf, chairs, shot glasses, oh and food.
3PM - DRINK EVERYTHING.
7:59PM - enter the show.
8PM - midnight - ROCK OUT.
12:30PM - sit in the parking lot and eat more food.
1PM - leave.

the next day.  lather, rinse, repeat.
or just skip to repeat.







who the fuck is coming with this year?

    1. ummmm of course we can be friends.
      i suppose you just can't call in lazy to your nursing job and be all "i don't want to work, i'm going to go play at a concert instead."

  9. So this is awkward but.....


    ..... not a Dave Matthews fan. Being from VA all the hype around them got old pretty quick. But I do like alcohol, and day drinking and what looks to be a lovely game of beer pong set up. I like all of those things!

  11. Why have I never managed to do this?!? I am totally going to do it this summer with a bunch of my friends .. us plus alcohol always ends in laughs, x rated pictures and sometimes emergency room visits anyway so why not throw a weekend of music on top of it.

    1. you NEED to do this.
      it's just a two-day bender with music capping off each night. AMAZING.

  12. I absolutely completely totally freaking love Dave Matthews. I'd be like babbling-incoherently level excited if I got to go to something as awesome as this. For real.

  14. I'll be there... in NJ on June 6th. I went last year in NY and it was amazeballs. This year... oh I just can't wait. I have lame friends though so it's just me and my one BFF that go. Tailgating with 2 is not nearly as cool.

    I trust you read that... June 6th. I expect to see your drunken face next to mine. (wishful thinking...)

  15. Oh Mudderfudging gooness.... all i saw was boobies and then I was all on the floor and wishing I was there!!
