So Excited. So Very Excited. February 29, 2008

Many of my faithful readers will remember that I went to a little event known as Rocklahoma last year.  And I had the time of my life.  This week we purchased our tickets for the 2nd Annual Rocklahoma, taking place this summer.  And just in case you haven’t heard about it, this little event taking place in Oklahoma became a HUGE deal.  There were people from all 50 states there, as well as all of the European countries, and people from every continent except Antarctica.  It was the most amazing thing ever.

So I have been pumped all week since buying tickets.  The Hubby gets to go this year and I know he will be just as excited as I am.  And I happen to have some inside information about the lineup, which will make everyone crap their pants.  I’m not kidding you.  It’s being announced on Tuesday in Hollywood and after that the tickets will skyrocket.  Let me just say that if you’re a fan of 80’s hair bands, you need to buy a ticket today.  You won’t want to miss it.  The only reason I know such inside information is because of my brother who is a policeman in the town where the event takes place and he gets the lowdown on such things.

So now I just have to wait.  And wait.  Because I want to go today.  Until then I will be listening to Hairnation on Sirius Satellite Radio and growing my hair out for all the headbanging.

Sorry I took a few more days than promised to get these on here. I’ve had a lot of sleep to catch up on and a lot of housework to do. So here they are!

The Gang Before a Night of Heavy Drinking

And After! Apparantly when I get drunk I decide to be my own photographer — all of the pics from that night are taken by me OF me!

Me with some random guy. He and I rocked out together with those gloves. They hold a can of beer and it was the hit of night #3.

There are so many other pictures, but they are quite crazy. I will be posting them throughout the week, as it takes forever to upload them to Blogger. But I do have some crazy tales I will be throwing in with them.

The best bands by far were Poison, Twisted Sister (who played in their concert pink and black), and Vince Neil, in that order. It was insane. My SIL has awesome pictures of Poison, including some amazing shots of C.C. Deville, as we were close enough to touch him.

Along the course of the weekend, we had one person puke, one person flash her boobs, and a bunch of alcohol consumed (and this was just in our group). I had horrible hiccups one night and was convinced that doing cartwheels would solve them. This only ended in pictures of me upside down, spread eagle. Not pretty.

I forgot to mention that we spent the weekend tailgating with a minivan. Bitchin’ huh? One night we managed to run the battery down and had to be jumped by two guys that were passed out under the truck next to us. Yep, passed out under the truck. I totally took pictures.

The pot was rampant out there, as was expected, but there was one guy also willing to sell his soul for shrooms. The ironic part is that he gave this speech in front of the tent run by the police department. I stood in line forever to take pictures of Twisted Sister, but the contact high I was getting was making me sick, so I had to leave the line. I’ll stick to beer, thank you.

You guys, I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this was. You have to make the drive next year, it’s worth it. This was the biggest 80’s rock concert ever, with over 80,000 tickets sold. People were here from all over. And I was among the crowd, acting a drunken fool and loving every minute.

More stories later, and you might be able to talk me out of some very incriminating pictures!

Destination: HairNation Vacation July 16, 2007

I just got back from the BEST WEEKEND EVER at Rocklahoma. Tomorrow’s post will have more detail, as I’m drunk and tired right now, but I had the time of my life. A giant Hulk glove, a dead battery, a lot of porta-potties, big hair, a few contact highs, cartwheels, one minor injury, and the best damn rock music ever!!

Pictures will come tomorrow. It will be worth the wait. Oh, trust me on this one.
