One of many awesome posts to come

Flogging Molly pounds and so do I :)

Mike and I drove north one fine weekend
To see a rockin' concert by our favourite band.
Jannus Landing was the venue, in downtown St Pete
And my friends, Craig and Suzie, we also did meet.

Early dinner of Thai food
put us all in a good mood
But when it was time to buy some tickets
Well, it wasn't looking so good.

A sold out show, no ticket for me
The scalpers wanted astronomical fees!!
Situation was dire, we headed to the bar
But we couldn't give up, we'd driven too far.

On the way to Independant, who did we see?
Flogging Molly members eating dinner of sushi...
I mustered some courage and snuck away from my friends
To approach the band and find a way in.

Nathan, the bass player, remembered me!
He signed my shoe two years ago (and I kissed him on the cheek)
After some banter, I asked in a fanatical way
"Is there any chance I can get in to see you play?!"

They gave me a hard time, telling me "No way"
But after I cried, they said "okay...okay!"
Is it just you, or do you need a plus one?
"Plus one" I exclaimed - OMG what have I done?!!

We all enjoyed the show, Mike and I moshed
And as much as we drank, we didn't get sloshed.
I hope you believe me, I swear I'm not lying
Oh, and for the record, I'm kidding about crying.
