Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

So where did I go tonight?

Myself and my partner in crime, Melissa, snuck into a private Tinker/Jump show at Emory University. We did this by walking right by everyone standing outside the room and sitting in on Tinker's soundcheck. Basically acting like we totally belonged there. We are so devious.

I love Tinkers. Adam (the drummer) wore Jenna Parker's "Jenna" shirt which produced a thrill for me. Cause, you know, thats my name. *Grin*.

Oh, banter.

Jay (before Say Goodnight): "This is a song about dirty little secrets with your roommate."

Ward (before Come Out Clean): "Good evening class - Welcome to Rock School."

Also, some sort of reference by Jay relating "Broken Hearts Education" to Rock School.

Ward: "You all get an A+ in Rock School."

All the Rock School comments rang with me because I'm taking Rock 'n' Roll History right now and all during Tinkers set I was thinking about the riffs verses the obligatto guitar lines versus the guitar solo breaks, and picking apart the drum lines. (Also, ever since I got into the class I've been attempting to place everyone's influences. With both Tinkers and Jump it's hard, which is really a good thing.)

Um, tangent.

I love, love, love Jump. They played 15 Stories, which is like, my song.

I got to see so many of my people. I love Opiates.

As it turns out, a stutter when talking to Jump. A lot. My asking for a picture when something like this—

"Matt!" He looks at me. And completely stuns me. "St—T—P—Picture? Could I? With you and your brother?"

He stares at me, completely deadpan, and says, "If there is one thing I do not do, it's take pictures with my brother."

He's really good at that. For a second I totally believed him.

He burst out laughing, danced over next to Evan, and they stopped moved for two seconds and took a picture with me. I tried to thank them but they both walked (or danced, or leaped) away in opposite directions. But I should soon have my very first Jenna with Jump picture, a "Bivins Sandwich" as Crystal called it.

I was the middle of a Bivins Sandwich.
