The boys and I headed down to K-Town last night for the festival thing in Market Square, and hung out for a few hours. It was some good times. Kinda reminded me of Bonnaroo, in that it was 10 bucks to park, and everything else got progressively more expensive.
Ahh, it brings me back.
But I digress, because the coolness of all this is that badass tats the boys got. Well, henna tattoos, although G was begging me to take him to get his filled in with real ink!
Yes, for you Pirates of the Aquarium fans, Pigpen is rocking Jack Sparrow’s tattoo. They both went around last night topless until the sun went down, and Pigpen actually ran up to total strangers to show off his ink. G just tried to look tough. The tattoo helped, but the fact that he’s as skinny as a lamppost kinda hurt.
NugJug and Dishwater Blonde were awesome, Pigpen was shaking it hard with me to the Blonde, to the applause of onlookers (for him, not me… I’m a scary thing when I dance), and the boys participated in a righteous beach ball game to NugJug as they did some damn good Beatles covers at the end of their show.
Good times.
We saw:
Catherine (who was one of the organizers, and scored us free ferriswheel tickets, woot)
Suzanne
Becky (who’s a lurker that I totally didn’t know, but introduced herself, which was nice)
And 3 other people in the same lurky boat whos names I didn’t catch.
And I even had my hat on, so nobody would recognize me…

You’ll have to do work harder on your disguise, I guess… Maybe an Inspector Clouseau moustache with that hat?

Yeah you poor fellow, celebrity is such a drag.

Wait … you paid to park?

That is some sweet ink there. Did you catch the tat artist’s name? I need a good person for the third….and I could go all the way to TN for it I guess.

I didn’t pay to park, either.

You people all suck.
June 24th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
heh.
You know what, AT? You seemed to have a lot more fun during your evening at the Square than I had on my date… THATs not good.

I hate to say this but sometimes at really big events the homeless or people that are hard up for cash will stand around at the gates and charge for parking. Once they get a few cars then they take off. We deal with that here in Nashville during certain events, you just have to be careful who you give your money too. Either way, looks like you boys had an incredible time and it was all worth it!! Kids are just amazing!

No, I parked in that big ass parking garage on Clinch. No homeless folks.

I’ve never seen the homeless folks trick in Knoxville.
We parked at the furniture store, but we got lucky. I used to live downtown, so I’d just park at home. Now I always stress about how I’m going to park without people ripping me off.

Hey Guys! Its free nights and weekends in the garages downtown. At least the Market Square garage, and the one behind the Downtown Grill and Brewery. AT, you should’ve called and asked me where to park!
And it was a DELIGHT to meet the boys. MastaG, all cool and mysterious (I didn’t even see the tats!), Pigpen, all enthusiasm and adorable-ness, and even you AT (although we had med) all hat, hair, and melted slushee. Glad everyone had fun.
