Our M&G Pic With 100 Monkeys @ The HOB San Diego!

ES hates it of her & thinks I look good. I hate it of me & thinks she looks good.

Go figure.

Totally forgot Jackson was wearing the mustache that some girl gave him....

I think they look like they're afraid of us.

Especially Jerad & Ben G ;)

L-R Uncle Larry aka "Munkle!", Ben G, TwiredJen, Jerad, Ben J, ES, JackSON!

Sometime A Girl's Gotta Do What A Girl's Gotta Do

Twitarded tends to start some posts like this: Warning: This post is going to be all over the place, or this post is really random, or this post has no direction...you get the idea. But fortunately for us, they're a bunch of liars. No matter how obscure or scatterbrained they "claim" their post will be...it's not.  Those h00rs always find a way to make it poignant, or at least, make you pee your pants.

But I digress...

Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

I apologize for that visual travesty....it's Monday, what else can I say?   *SIGH*

This post really is going to be all over the gawdamn place. For realz.  I have had a few glasses of champagne and there really isn't anything Rob Twilight related to write about, but I feel like writing...so there. Deal.

Ok, that's not entirely true.  I have some news!  ES & I are going to see those schmexy 100 Monkeys on Sunday night!

I miss these boys...

I feel like it's been light years since we have seen them. Granted it's only been since May...but geez. 

 Last Summer, the boys ended their 100 City tour in San Diego at the HOB, and once again they're ending another tour at the HOB. Last year it was during Comic Con, so needless to say it was an absolute cluster fuck trying to get into the venue. They hadn't anticipated how many of us hormone ridden women (and I use the word "women" loosely) would show up. HOB had no idea what to do...they had some shit called "capacity rules" and thus left quite a few gals outside...Not us of course, because well, that just doesn't happen to us....we know how BIG they are. Anyways, it was a ticket less event. 100 Monkeys was playing in the restaurant. This year HOB learned their lesson & they are performing in the music hall....as they should be. 

A very bloggy bestie sent me this video the other night and I about wet my pants. I can't embed it because for some reason it makes typing slow to a hault, and I can't deal with that shit right now. Anyhoo, the video totally reignited my lust for Mr. Rathbone. Like I have said a thousand times....there is nothing like seeing that man band live. NOTHING. And Jackson's moves are enough to warrant 5 ShamWows.

CANNOT WAIT.

Moving on...

In case you haven't been the most alert, it appears that we'll be blessed with a Breaking Dawn Convention in LA come November!  I imagine, with the TWIFECTA! More importantly, Rob and Kristen.  IF you go HERE, you'll see "save the date" for November 4th. I suspect it's the 4th, 5th and 6th, as per usual for Twilight Conventions. And yes, I will be there.

...because I NEED to see this again.

I may wait till the cheaper single day tix come out, because I'm not made of money...that, and that little thing called my wedding is lurking around the corner. Even though my parents are paying for the majority if it, I still find myself shelling out big bucks here and there.  I have a really hard time expecting them to pay for EVERYTHING.

Anyways, super freakin' excited.

Speaking of excited, can I tell you just how jealous I am that you're all going to Foooooooorks AGAIN!?  Gah!  It's a good kind of jealous though, because I know all of you that are making the trip are going to have a fabulous time.  I expect to be glued to twitter while I'm getting my make up done.  The ceremony is at 6pm on Friday 9/30...Fooooorks time. I will be cheers-ing to you all, with champagne of course.

Guess that's all I had to say. I told you it would be all over the place ;)

Don't Be A Bitch

January 26th, 2010 ES & I created a post called Twired Sista's Rules. Essentially it was a list of things you shouldn't do (faux pas if you will) at a 100 Monkeys concert. These rules were created based upon our personal observations/encounters.

That said, that post should have been taken with a grain of salt ;) However this post should be taken seriously....for the most part. 

ES's mantra.

I kid.

Back in November of 2009, ES & I went to our FIRST 100 Monkeys show, and our second shortly after that in December. So far to date, we have been to......let us count, shall we?

1. Viper Room LA

2. Viper Room LA

3. SOMA San Diego

4. Viper Room LA

5. HOB San Diego

6. Viper Room LA

7. Roxy LA

8. HAVE TIX FOR EL REY THEATRE IN LA ON MAY 21st!!!

9. HAVE TIX FOR HOB SAN DIEGO IN AUG!!!

Through these shows, we have definitely seen a progression of sorts. The first show where we met Jackson was our second Viper Room show. He went to hang by the bar once it was over and we politely asked the Bananager if we could get a picture with him.  He was super polite, charming & overall seemed flattered. That night the girls seems respectful and no one crowded him  The second time we met him, he skipped out of the Viper Room pretty fast with his band to pack up and avoid the increasingly large group of girls waiting by the stage exit. He snuck out somehow and we happened to be at the right place at the right time & got a pic with him in the old child molester looking Monkey Van. I guess no one knew he was in there...  The third time, also at the Viper Room, he had tons and tons of girls asking for pics & crowding around him at the bar. He obliged and took pics, but you could tell it was getting a bit overwhelming.  I must mention that the Viper Room is one of those venues where the only way they can get off stage is to walk by fans....great for us, a possible pain in the ass for them.  After that, I vowed not to ask for anymore pictures. 

"Stick around after, let's party!"

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm rambling.....admittedly I am & there is no way to make a smooth transition here....that, or my brian is fried from work. I'm thinking it's the latter. I "heard" that the crowd at the 100 Monkeys show in NYC  the other night, was being a bit ornery.  Apparently girls weren't letting other girls get back to their place after going to the bathroom, and some were asking for pics with Jackson before the show & wouldn't take no for an answer.  I also got wind of some "crazy Twi fans" screaming out "Jasper!"  Really?!?! It's people like that that ruin it for the rest of us. I imagine the majority of us are Twi fans, some crazier than others...but just becasue you're obsessed doesn't mean you can't keep that shit in check.  I'm the first to admit he gives me that tingly feeling and I get all giddy and ridiculous when he first walks on stage, but it's Jackson with his band, NOT JASPER. And no matter how much you want to beg him to say "Excuse me Ma'am" or "Battlescars"...please don't.  And to top it off, the entire band ROCKS. Each and everyone of those guys is super talented & tons of fun on & off stage. 

As for US... THE FANS, we're in this TOGETHER (unless of course you're wearing Mom jeans, or get so drunk you start crying cause the bounger won't let you back in...)  Do you have to give snooty looks, or not let people back to their place?  Let's be KIND to each other.

Don't Be A Bitch!

Read The Rules, and we won't be a bitch either ;)

Kidding.

Sort of.

Speaking of the entire band being super cool, here are some pics we may or may not have posted in the past.  We still need one with Ben J!

Ben G is a cutie!

Jerad is smokin' hot & super cool.

WAIT FOR IT..............

ES & Munkle!!!!!!!!

He's so charming.

Can't wait till 5.21 @ the El Rey theatre in LA!

P.S. Remember, don't be a bitch!

XOXO J

The Incredible 100 Monkeys Return To The V-Room!!

Oh 100 Monkeys!


Elusive S here! Firstly, I must apologize for the ridiculously long delay in pounding out my own blogs and recounting our dreamy 100 Monkey experiences… I was dealing with finals and then the holidays and got slammed with the flu-so I have been playing catch-up at work and at home so I am just getting around to getting fun things done!

So, a couple of nights ago I was just flittering around on Twitter and found out 100 Monkeys will be returning to The Viper Room… I am ecstatic! Sista called me at work yesterday to ask if she was hallucinating or if I had really e-mailed her with the news the night before. There is something about 100 Monkeys at The V Room that makes our insides tickle. I have to admit, we were a little bummed after the Soma San Diego show… We chalked it up to the obnoxious [underage] crowd (verryyyy rude, did I mention the girl that asked the band for a photo in the middle of a switcheroo? That same girl ended up on stage dancing like a nut and didn’t know the words to Wings On Fire. Yeah, there’s an example of rude/obnoxious). .. Sista and I felt a bit empty and really needed more monkey love but didn’t think we’d get it for awhile since they’re touring.


(Ben G and J Action kept looking at me, incredulously and laughing… But more on this with my post tomorrow J)

So there’s a bit of an issue with the timing of this show… it’s on a Friday night… I work Fridays and Saturdays so I have to do a bit of a switcheroo myself… But it’s worth it… so worth it-Monkeys at the V Room are like nothing else. We might have to wait to leave for LA when I get out of work on Friday, which means, with Fri pm traffic we might have to change in the car (Translation: we might not be Jacksonjeradbenglicious… and we may arrive at the last minute-our usual plan is to get in early and wiggle up front and wait it out, in it to win it!). The last two delicous times with J Action, J Rad and Ben G smiling, looking, laughing, just inches from our faces… was drool-worthy… Um, right, sooo…I guess it wouldn‘t be the end of the world if we missed out on the two-inches away thing. Besides, I was thinking I would slip a love note onto the Monkey Prius... or through the sliding door of the green room where we first locked eyes with Mr Mouth of Sex Godness (that’s J Action, in case that wasn‘t obvious enough). Stalker? What? ;)

Oh my love for 100 Monkeys is such a separate entity (and obsession) from that of Twilight. Admittedly I only know about them because of Jackson and only know of Jackson because of Twilight… So, Thank you, Twilight Gods, so very much for casting the ridiculously sexy rockstar that is Jackson… Holy HELL, that mouth.

Gonna have to see the monkeys… cause monkeys are cool cause I am a monkey junkie who loves them at the v room………..
