the new crush

I have the biggest crush on Stevie Jackson. Huge. And it's completely based on superficial stuff like how he dances and how he plays guitar. Obviously he can come off however he wants to because he's on a big fricking stage and does this sort of thing nightly, but still.

Aside from this, Belle and Sebastian as a whole made me love them more. I mean, Stuart danced like Molly Ringwald, for cripes sake! He climbed a speaker taller than himself and got stuck like a cat in a tree! Chris the keyboardist sported an authentic '70s look with the glasses and facial hair! Sara sang so sweetly it was scary! Bob and Mick passed every instrument they could get their hands on back and forth. And you already know about Stevie's finer talents. Crap, it was fun.

And Rose Melberg. Don't even get me started. She's the sweetest. People were talking while she was on, but from the front row she was fantastic. Funny and super cute and *sigh* sweet. And her new CD was for sale, even though it won't be released until sometime in later April. She's great.

My friend David hooked me up with Courtney, who is from Olympia and also works in a library and is going back to school to be a librarian. She's pretty rad with lots of good stories. It was nice to be with someone who was even more excited about the show than I was. I mean, she drove to another country to see them! I also discovered she's met my friend Scott, which in and of itself is pretty cool.

This is the best weekend ever. Last night was fabulous, but today and tonight will just add to that fabulousness. I'm going to high tea at my friend's house this afternoon to meet up with my girlfriends, finger sandwiches included. Finger sandwiches! Shortly after that ends I'm going to the Canucks game with my sister (thank you, JK!) to watch the third of the three-game series with the Oilers. It should be a good one. I still have love for the Oilers from my childhood obssession, but don't mention that to my sister or the drunk people around my seat.

And curling's on! The lead for Team Canada was in my sister's grade from K to 12. She lived down the street! Did I ever mention that my parents met at a bonspiel? I love curling.
