Wednesday night I joined a bunch of my friends at Ft. Lauderdale’s Revolution LIVE to see She Wants Revenge. I have to admit that I came into it pretty clueless when it came to any details about the band. I had just heard a couple of singles and found them fun to dance to. One of my best friends, Elsie, is a huge fan and when she invited me to come along with her – I decided what the hell! I am so glad I went! First off, it turns out a large group of our friends were going so being able to spend a night dancing with some of my favorite people is always a win in my book. Second, one of the opening bands was Kill Hannah, who are a Chicago band that have had a long friendship with Mr. Billy Corgan himself! It was my first time seeing them and they were amazing – could definitely hear the strong Pumpkins influence. However, I was too chicken to go up to them after the show and express our mutual SP love. Fail. Lastly, wow. She Wants Revenge definitely blew me away – they were so.much.fun. I danced until I couldn’t feel my toes anymore! But what happened after the show was probably the best part of the night. We were able to meet the band & two of my friends got their SWR lyrical tattoos signed by both members, Adam & Justin! They were quite possibly the coolest guys ever – I always love meeting celebrities that don’t take themselves so seriously. Unfortunately, I just discovered that Adam was passing a kidney stone that night through his Twitter account! I can’t believe he was going through so much pain but still managed to be so polite to his fans: he chatted them up, signed autographs and took pictures with all of them. Not to mention headed to LIV at the Fountainbleu in Miami to spin a set after our show! I think it’s pretty safe to say that these guys just got themselves a new fan.

I am your typical Valentine’s Day hater.

Back in my single days, I would bury myself in bed and not want to make eye contact with anyone in the outside world to avoid the flurry of red roses, candy hearts & general vomit-inducing behavior. Later, when I was in a relationship, I took to jumping on a plane and just fleeing the whole state entirely with my boyfriend to avoid the above. And now, married, my husband & I take to just cooking intimate dinners at home & watching one of our Netflix rentals to yet again, avoid the above. I’m sure you get the point. I do not subscribe to Valentine’s Day and all its little gimmicks. You cannot fool me, Hallmark. I am on to you.

However, this year my husband decided to throw a complete curve ball at me and state that he has a surprise for me Saturday night. So surprise, in fact, that I will be blindfolded to our location. And I can’t help but smile. Or obsess.

See, I love surprises a lot, but I drive myself completely insane until I discover what said surprise is. And this one has me stumped. My hints? Here you go:

1. You can eat there, but it’s not a restaurant.

2. It is grouped as one of my many fandoms.

3.Not a lot of people will be at this location on Valentine’s Day.

4. This would be the worst idea with anyone else, but absolutely perfect for me.

What could this be? At first I thought it was a concert or some sort of performance, but I bring my A game to Ticketmaster. I know who is coming and who is not. There is no way that a band I love is coming to town on Saturday and I don’t know about it. Impossible. But what else? What is this elusive surprise?

Although I have a no clue, I can say for certain that I have the best husband. Afterall, he’s managed quite the feat: I am now excited (for the first time in my life) for Valentine’s Day.
