Atlantis: December 2004
Well, it's been awhile since we've
written a diary entry so I better get on it...Hi guys this is
Gina...
This weekend at Atlantis was a lot of
fun for many reasons. On Friday night we arrived at the gig to find
everyone in the Christmas spirit. Our friends from Walker CAT were
there in numbers to enjoy their "unofficial" Christmas party. Dave
and his crew were ready to party and drink a little Jagermeister.
Some of those same guys and girls are also our Harley Davidson
friends and it was great to see everyone! WV Rally 2005 at Snowshoe
- be there! Thanks Larry Holstein for everything you do to promote
the band, you are a great friend.
It also happened to be my birthday on
Friday night. I have to confess I have mixed feelings on my
birthday as most women do. It's not always a time of celebration.
:) I found myself thinking back over the year and wondering where
had the time gone? In other words, I was depressed. :) ha ha ha
It did not turn out to be a complete pity party because of all my
friends who lined up for hugs and the chance to spank me. Jeanie,
Kelly, Phil, Dave, Steve, Susan and the crew brought me a cake with
lots of icing just like I like it, and gifts too. There may be an
incriminating picture out there of me diving into my cake.
Hopefully it won't surface anytime soon. (Sometimes you just have
to come and see us live if you want to get in on the party...)
There was a special birthday wish from the Reserved Table, which
shall remain nameless, that almost made me cry! OK, I admit it - I
did cry...Chavo sent me a birthday email and the guys made me do the
birthday 2-step and I gave myself a CD! It was really fun...
Saturday night was packed and
everyone got their groove on. We gave away a lot of Jager merch to
all the people drinking Jager. My personal favorite is the Jager
Bomb. If you haven't tried one, you should right away. It tastes
like sweet tarts and gives you a great tingly feeling. JagerBombs
make you dance all by yourself at the bar and enjoy every minute of
it until you fall asleep in the car on the way home. Right Sarah?
:)
It was a great weekend and it really
made me think of all the special people I have met over the years
while standing on stage with Convertible Blondes. When all is said
and done - that is all that matters. The friends you meet along the
way and the love you give back to us. The band is only as good as
the people that come to see us - and the people that come to see us
are the best in the world. What an honor to be here another year
and still making music and new friends. Thanks for everything, you
don't know how much it means to me!
See you soon - Have a Merry
Christmas! and a safe New Year!
your friend,
gina
