Also, Hi!

Welp, didn't think I'd go that long without checking things out here and posting.

Love the new Radiohead album. Going to check out Jose Gonzales (great solo acoustic player) at the end of the month. Jose would be a great small venue at 'roo. I also saw Paolo Nutini but he was kind of blah compared to his Bonnaroo set. His opening act, Serena Ryder, is another great solo acoustic act that would be good in a cafe at Bonnaroo. I hate when I'm more impressed by the opening act than the headliner.

After eight years, I'm now single. It's been a bit rough and I delayed leaving him for too long. It was finally clear to me that things were not how I would like them to be and they never would be. He had cheated a year and a half ago and I forgave him, but could not really undo the paranoia it caused me to feel. Quite a few times since then I had the opportunity to give him the boot, during his random temper tantrums and arguments, but it took me this long to just do it. There wasn't really a true argument until after I was out the door. Turns out he's now seeing the girl that he cheated on me with, within the week of me leaving. What a piece of crap. I'm kinda pissed about it now and trying to just not even think about it, but it's hard. All through he's refused to respect me and my wishes, I must have been crazy to think he'd respect me after I left too.

So far I've been on my own for about two weeks, and have moved to Cleveland Heights which is a great community so far. I live just steps away from the Grog Shop, so I am keeping an eye on their schedule and seeing as much as I possibly can.

So I have no idea about going to Bonnaroo next year. I should, but I am guessing I'd have to soloroo it, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I bought all the camping equipment so I have it all still. I have some other trips I'd like to make (like to see one of my best friends in Australia) and I may have to prioritize how I spend my extra cash. I guess I will have to see how mindblowing the band roster turns out to be.

Who went to Voodoo Music Festival? How was it?

Hi and congrats on getting rid of the heavy load At the time you don't really think it's so bad, but once you are out of the situation you really realize how much crap you had to deal with. Being on your own for me was a life-changing thing - in a very good way, so enjoy your independence and enjoy being alone!! I have learned I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to and don't need a man to help me achieve it.

If you do end up going to Roo alone let me know. My fiance had no desire to go, so I will probably be driving in every day alone ( I live in Nashville), so would be happy to have someone to hang with.

I also love the new Radiohead. Awesome stuff

Hey there, indigo. I was wondering where you have been lately.

Sorry to hear about your situation, but also glad to hear about your situation. I'm happy you feel good about your decision and are moving on! Way to go, girl!

[wooz]

Hey Indigo! Sorry to hear about the situation but as you've figured out its for the best

Good to seeya!

Hey Indigo! So sorry for all the crap you are going through but take it from someone who's been there - you are MUCH ahead of the curve.... You'll realize soon the good decision you made....

As for the soloing....no worries! Just takes a little getting used to and some friends - which is no prob around here! I have gone to both Echo and VooDoo now solo and had the BEST times ever! Better than going with guys or friends from here - both of which were just "sort" of into the whole thing which dampens it ya know?

VooDoo was a BLAST!! Rage RAGED!!! Absolultely awesome, the Pumpkins were much better than I expected - esp the acoustic "1979" and the " Born on the Bayou" cover encore - sweet! Ben Harper - what can I say...ever time I see him live I fall more in love with him...sigh.....The Black Crowes totally jammed - did almost NONE of their hits - Jealous Again was the only one that comes to mind....just totally Chris stuff! Discovered the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club....Kings of Leon were great.....esp with a mostly Rage-rowdy crowd! Coheed and Cambria rocked.....what else can I say???? Oh yeah - DR JOHN RULES!!!! ;D

Come hang with us at 'Roo.....I'll most likely be solo - AGAIN LOL! I actually prefer it that way - don't have to cater to anyone else's whim or schedules.....you'll find out you like it that way

yay for living so close to the grog shop! i'm very jealous! i love that venue! everytime i go there as i'm walking down the street looking at all the houses i say to whoever is with me "jeez, i wish i lived in one of these houses" haha

[indigo]

Aww, thanks guys!

Cleveland Heights is great, I've always loved visiting here and the feel of it, so when I was looking for a place to move into, I decided that this was the place. I looked in to Lakewood as well, but I've always been an eastsider so Lakewood felt too foreign to me, even though it's still a great neighborhood. I found a reasonable basement apartment with lots of closet space and parking and free rent for my cat. Last night I was clubbing at McNulty's - which was a great spot for that kind of business. There was a guy there dressed up as the Burger King - it was great lol.

The cable guy is here hooking up my own internet. It's been hell banking on someone's not-quite-there unsecured wireless connection for two weeks.
