Like my roommie, I, too, fell in love this weekend. Or maybe it would be more correct to say “in lust.”
But not with a tree.
No, I fell in lust with Canadian musician Hawksley Workman.
R took me to see him at Club Infinity Friday night. He’s a big fan. I’ve just been recently introduced to his music. I think my favorite of his CDs is (last night we were) the delicious wolves, featuring my favorite of his songs, striptease.
After he finished performing it live, I turned around and looked at R and said, “Oh. My. God.”
He just smiled, as if to say “Yep, I told you.”
The man positively exudes sensuality. Sex permeates his being. I’m not even remotely exaggerating.
We made a few friends at the show. To our left was the superexcited blonde girl from Burlington. Before the show started, she bounded onto the floor and plunked herself into place. She and R made some small talk about Hawksley and favorite songs, and “what do you think he’s going to open with” etc. I mentioned that this was my first time seeing him.
“Ohmygod! You’re going to LOVE HIM! I can’t wait to see your face after the show!! I’ve seen him 17 times!! He totally knows me. I’ve had my picture taken with him!”
Okay, yes…Jen and I have been this person (sort of) on occasion. But imagine us in this state to the 27TH POWER. I told Jen that the girl kind of reminded me of Shan K, but on CRACK. Wow. 🙂
To our right were a couple of guys, one of whom apparently makes a living filming concerts. He was trying desperately to hook up with a girl standing in front of him who was clearly not interested. It was painful…
Oh, and standing in front of us was a group of high-school looking kids, one of whom I swear I taught last year. Ack!
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and have definitely become a fan. 😉
Saturday night, R and I (and his friend John) went to see Sideways, which I really enjoyed. My only problem is that it’s difficult for me to look at Thomas Hayden Church and not see Lowell from Wings. 😉 No, seriously…it was very good. I recommend it.
On Sunday, Jen and I put up our Christmas tree and decorated it, with the help of my little. Yay for Christmas trees and big bay windows. If only there was a fireplace…sigh…
I’m probably forgetting something, but that’ll do for now…
