dude. i… have never been this saddened by a concert.

miss willie brown == awesome.

josh thompson == awesome.

dierks bentley == awesome.

the crowd? SUCKAGE. zero movement. hardly any singing. hardly what you could call yelling.

brett danced his ass off. i danced my ass off. i should be a hobbit in another life. truly. bluegrass and irish music speak to me in a way no other music can. i don’t stop moving. my arms and feet going a mile a minute. it’s insane. i have no voice left. best feeling in the world. but… the crowd was terrible.

there were 2 couples in front of us that made brett and i look like drunken fools. whether we were or not? that is a different story. but they stood like FREAKING STATUES the entire time. for over four hours. that is ridiculous.

if i hear music? my hips are moving, whether i want them to or not. these people? nope. nothing. they simply were not human.

meanwhile, brett and i kept going. beers and arms in the air. flailing about without a care in the world.

it made me realize even more why i love him. because we are one in the same. in several ways. but especially when it comes to country music, and dancing. we fell in love on the dance floor twirling around to dixieland delight, and it happens all over again every time.

thank you, dierks bentley, josh thompson, and miss willie brown. i am sorry for the suckage that is charleston country fans, and for the lack of enthusiasm and hollering and dancing.

we were trying to figure out what to do tonight since it’s the weekend and all. we tend to be homebodies most of the time.

if brett and i go out, usually, it’s either a movie, food, beer, a combination of those things, or we go out dancing. i don’t know what it is, but when he and i go out dancing, it’s exhilarating. my hips never stop moving, he keeps up with me and simultaneously completes a year’s worth of squats, and there’s this awesome connection that leaves me feeling high as a kite afterward. and then we walk home drenched in sweat, legs feeling like jello, and all is right with the world.

lately, we have not gone out dancing. before he moved to charleston, we were spending a lot of weekends in boone together. and after one of the bars got shut down, there was nowhere to dance. i think we went out dancing twice in charleston over the summer, but going downtown on a weekend (especially during the summer) is an absolute nightmare. anyway, there has been like… no dancing. we didn’t get to go dancing in vegas, either, because he got some god-awful stomach bug. that will get fixed on the next trip.

anyway, we have since replaced dancing with steak. and also coors light. and MORE recently, we started going to the gym together. so when i asked brett what he wanted to do tonight, and he said he had no idea, i proposed that we go to the gym, go buy a case of beer, cook up some steaks, and watch movies all night.

i am so excited.
