Besides working, I went to Disneyland (yes, I know...AGAIN haha) on Wednesday. This was my third Wednesday in a row going and let me tell you, I'm not complaining! It's such a nice getaway half way through the week to go up, eat some yummy food, walk around and be in great company of my friends and family. This time I went with my dad and one of my close friends Ariel, aka the little mermaid ;) We hung out at Carsland in DCA, did a few rides, then went to Disneyland and got bread bowls with soup for dinner (can I get a "yuuuum" please?!) The parks have been pretty crowded the past couple weeks due to gradnight celebrations for high schools so we didn't do too much, but we still had a great mini vaycay trip!
Friday was another eventful day. After work I headed up with my boyfriend, Gabe, to Del Mar because his band (Digital Lizards of Doom) was invited to play at the VIP media event to promote the upcoming Del Mar Fair that evening!! It was such an amazing experience. When we got there we went through the back entrances like special VIP's and all got "staff" wristbands. Then we drove onto the fairgrounds where the stage was located that Gabe would be playing on. We unloaded everything and then Gabe, along with his two friends that perform as Dizzy and Echo (the characters on stage during their shows) started warming up. I started walking around the rest of the fair, which looked mostly set up and realized that all of the food and drink stands were open and even better than that...everything was completely free. FREE, PEOPLE, FREEEEEEEEE! Ev-er-y-thing. It was like we had died and gone to free fair food heaven. It was all sample portions which was perfect because it left room to try tons of food. I, of course, immediately stuffed my face haha. I had mini tacos, tasty chips, corn on the cob, Pink's hot dogs, a cupcake sundae and I'm pretty sure a few more items. Reading this back to myself makes me feel like a bit of a fatty, but I'm pretty sure anyone in this situation would have done the exact same thing! :)
Once we all ate to the point of sickness (half joking), it was time for the Digital Lizards of Doom to come out and bring the place down!! They did such a great job as always. Lots of people came by from different media promotions and watched their performance it was super rad!! We also passed out tons of CD's and business cards and chatted it up with new listeners who all seemed interested in coming to the actual show on the 14th! BTW, if you're reading this and you have no clue what I'm talking about then check out DLOD's website or facebook for info!! http://dlodband.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/dlodcore
It was a very successful and fun filled night!! The next day Gabe had another show at The Stage Bar downtown and it was a major let down. If you ever go downtown and are looking for bars DON'T go there. The sound guy and staff were an hour and a half late, extremely rude, only let DLOD play for barely 30 minutes and then the owner got there and the sound guy had the nerve to tell him that Gabe and the rest of us were the one's that showed up late so that was why there wasn't a big crowd of people...really?!?! Such a lame guy. So the long of the short of it is, Gabe and DLOD won't be performing there anymore and if you're looking for a nice, friendly, honest business to hang out at I definitely wouldn't suggest that place.
We still made it a fun night with late dinner at Lazy Dog Cafe, which is one of my favorite places to go! On Sunday, Gabe and I went to Solana Beach and it just happened that a street fair was going on so we got some local food and hung out there most of the day relaxing from the busy week.
Hope everyone else had an awesome week and is looking forward to making this week even more fabulous!!!
