Aerosmith....maybe?
So the plan this weekend was to just hang out at home and relax and decompress after the few past stressful weeks. However, best friend Amy had other plans in store for me. She shows up at my house around 7pm Saturday night. I'm in my pj's, cooking dinner, getting ready to sit down and watch Jersey Girl (don't make fun, I love me some Ben Affleck and will watch anything he's in) when the buzzer goes off. I'm thinking, "Who the hell is this bothering me!!!!" I look outside and there's Amy all dressed up. I open the door and say, "I have a date with Ben Affleck. I'm not going anywhere." She says, "Hell no, I'm here to cheer you up. You will not stay cooped up on a Saturday night." After a lot of back and forth, I finally give in. So, I shower, get all gussied up and promise Ben we'll get together tomorrow. Amy's boyfriend works weekends at some bar in Porter Square. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a bar person, but I go anyway just for the fact that I can get a free pizza from her boyfriend :) Well, we get there and there's not to much going on so after we eat we decide to go home. Her boyfriend says "Oh, you guys aren't going to want to leave." and he nods towards the stage where a band is setting up. We turn to look at the band and at first I think my eyes are deceiving me because I see Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. I look a little closer and see that it's not them...it's an Aerosmith tribute band. Now these guys must've auditioned for their parts because they all looked exactly like the band member whose instrument they played. The best part was when the singer was dressed in an open-chest leotard and danced around like Steven Tyler!! I look at Amy, she looks at me and I say, "We aren't going anywhere." We move closer to the stage and notice a table of groupies who would stand at the edge of the stage and grab the Steven Tyler look-alikes chest. They were straight out of the 80's. They were all wearing jean jackets and had teased hair. There was a leader though. This woman was a sight to be seen. She was a good 3oo lbs and wearing a strapless dress. On her back was a tattoo of the Aerosmith logo and above the logo she had every band members face tattoo'd!!!! This woman was pure rock 'n roll. We tried to take a picture of the band and their groupies, but they wouldn't allow photography! This band was all business. I had never seen anything like this in my life. Even Amy's boyfriend who works at the bar said that he hadn't either. Well, thanks Amy for cheering me up and taking me out. I know that whenever I go anywhere with you, we'll have a funny story to tell.
Song of the day: Dude Looks Like A Lady-Aerosmith
