None of Sis' friends were wanting to take little Chris for the night, so we took him with us.. i got us a room at the Railroad Pass Casino outside of Vegas and near the junction connection to get us to the road that leads home.. we even were given our same room from last year, without even asking for it!
we got into the room, little Chris was freaked out by the elevators at first.. he hasn't been on any in quite a long time, but after a few times on them, he was comfortable with it..
we went for dinner in the casino restaurant, not the buffet, i wasn't in the mood for buffet and i was sorry to be the one keeping them from buffet, but i was paying for the meals..
we got ready up in the room, little Chris discovered the wonders of the hotel shower, which is like twice the size of my shower, he spent a while in there mostly playing in there..
Sis & i helped each other get ready in our outfits..
we headed out to the bar before 9pm, that's what the tickets said the show would start, the bands started at 9:30 this time, Calabrese was last to get on stage, thankfully at midnight this time!
the guys interviewed with me again, this time i had lots of questions that Sis helped write most of them becuz i got stumped thinking of questions..
i didn't call Sis to come join me during the questions, i so fangirled out like an idiot, but the guys were nice enough to overlook it and never once made me feel like an idiot..
it was a fun interview, i had to edit the hell out of it becuz i sounded like such an asshole.. i didn't mean to sound like that i get nervous and stuff comes out of my mouth without me being able to restrain it.. i really need to work on that..
i think i shouldn't interview them again until i have better control on my mouth or let Sis do the interview.. she said that i sounded fine, but to me i hear how bad i was..
the next time i'll get them to do station ID liners since they are too busy to send me anything..
i had asked each of the guys to come outside to meet with Little Chris! they nicely talked to him and he impressed them by knowing their names!
they each took their picture with him and were very nice to him..
Little Chris with Jimmy Calabrese
Chris with Bobby Calabrese
Chris with Davey Calabrese
Chris wasn't allowed in to the bar, even to be near the stage, and so Sis and he stayed outside wandering around, walking all over part of the Maryland Parkway S across from the bar..
we had taken Sis' car and i am not comfortable driving stick shift and we didn't know how much a cab/shuttle would be 18 miles from the hotel and back.. so they stayed out in the car, sleeping until i was ready to leave.. i had bought a ticket for Sis but she couldn't leave Chris alone and she said this trip was really for me who doesn't get to travel or get out much.. that was so nice of her to do that for me..
i spent over $100 at their merch table, becuz there were shirts i was buying to Sis and little Chris, got us all dog tags, bought Sis a vinyl album they made of her favorite Calabrese album, Born with A Scorpion's Touch, which they all signed for her.. i bought it as a thank you for driving us to Vegas..
their performance was so amazing! and the same sound guy, again made them sound horrible.. but we had crowded close to the stage again to hear what they were singing, which we all were singing along and dancing, so it didn't matter.. i was standing near the speaker again, so my hearing got blown out for 3 days, which it was well worth it to see them in concert..
talking and hanging out with Calabrese always makes my year so much better.. i try to aspire to their kind of coolness, patience and not to talk negatively about people.. becuz they are so like-able and friendly and they put up with all sorts of fangirly types.. LOL!
seeing Calabrese is my yearly trip, and one i'll keep doing becuz they inspire me to do more than just dream my dreams, they taught me to make my dreams a reality..
