I'll Let You In On Something Secret

Don't let the title fool you. This was definitely not a secret.

In fact, I became the most envied person in Columbus last night.

(And had to fight off dozens of creepers trying to invite themselves to my apartment.)

Why, you ask? Oh, I'll tell you why.

Justin Pierre, lead singer of the band Motion City Soundtrack came to my apartment bearing goodies in the form of new tracks from their forthcoming album, My Dinosaur Life.

Wait... what?

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Justin is/was on/currently taking medical leave from The Dino Trail, a little promotional tour for their aforementioned album. He has played really random spots all over and you can really only find out about it through his Twitter. Thank God I finally caved and made one last week... (follow me! twitter.com/HollyWiller ...I have no idea how to work it, so it's good for a laugh.) But anyhoo... He played on the People Mover platform in Detroit on Wednesday and of course my very Detroiter boyfriend and huuuuuge MCS fan (No seriously, I think likes them more than he likes me.) was in attendance. He talked to Justin who said their next stop was our dear C-Bus. Being the dutiful boyfriend he is, he informed him that I lived here. Long story short: Justin told him to have me email him for a listening party. I did. Then Justin contacted me via twitter (totally favorited these tweets) and voila! A rockstar comes to my door!

Now we are best friends. (Not really, but a girl can dream.)

Unfortunately for Mr. Pierre, he was sick as a dog (and allergic to our cat, Esther aka Cat Benatar). No seriously, he was super sick. Like right-after-the party-he-went-straight-to-the-hospital-and-has-had-to-postpone-the-Dino-Trial-for-flu-like-symptoms-sick. But he was an absolute trooper and drank orange juice like a champ. I taught him my sweet show choir moves and he shared new tracks such as "Beekeeper" and "Her Words Destroyed My Planet". My personal favorite was "A Lifeless Ordinary." This is going to be an epic album, folks. No seriously, it sounds delicious.

And thus concludes the most random and awwweeeessssooommmmmee night ever.

Keep your ears open for My Dinosaur Life on January 19, 2010.

Rawr.
