Weekend Updates (Am I Even Allowed to Use that Title?)

Rock Erie updates:  The Romantic Era beat out my brother's band, Strangers and Liars for best rock band which I think Tom was quite pleased about.  He is very adamant about proclaiming that Rock Erie is not in any way his scene, and if you knew my brother you would understand that.  God only knows what his thank you speech would have been had he took home the award.
"Thank you for acknowledging the skill of my band but I hate everything you stand for that will destroy this nice plaque you gave us."
 I'd like to hope I'm exaggerating and he'd be really nice and fake a genuine face (is that even possible? I realize that's a complete oxymoron) but they had free Rolling Rock at the pre-party so...

BUT in all honesty I'm proud of both the bands I associate myself with.  Which I don't even know what that means because I do not consider myself a groupie in any way?  I remember taking my friends to one of Connor's shows last year which were close to my school and since it was further from his band's home base they didn't have many fans coming for only their band particularly.  So, when the ticket dude at the door proclaimed to my friends and I that "Oh!  You must be The Romantic Era groupies, right?!"  I had to kindly yet sternly explain that I was strictly only sleeping with the singer and really had no other relation to the band in any other way, shape or form and therefore should definitely not be considered a groupie.
He didn't respond and just gave us our wristbands.

To sum it up:
The Romantic Era did deserve the 2 awards they won.  They are dedicated and put in so much time behind the scenes to do what they do.  Unfortunately, I'm so guilty at complaining (Echo, please admit I'm not the only one) that it's too much time, sometimes, when it comes to my selfish girlfriend side or I'm just hormonal and taking it out on C, but if you knew them it's plain to see it's their passion and I admire all of them for following it.

I drove back to school this morning, and am exhausted and have a cold.  I'd love nothing more than to crawl into bed but I must fulfill my duties at the library until 10pm.  Books need love too.
