Why Do Dogs Smack Thier Lips While Sleeping

The Concert - Part




"Angel" PJ Harvey




The days flowed quickly and Jack had only vague information by phone. Was busy, he said, a lot, but he lacks, he said. I did not know what to think, if I wanted him to finish his term and that I wanted to embrace him once more soon. After all, she then not much, just spend some 'quality time with him.
came the fateful Saturday. That's our first gig in a local case. The excitement was great: we had tried a lot, yes, but it never seemed enough. However, Saturday morning we headed into the room to carry their instruments and know the owner of Violent Sound, who had just spoken by phone to Elvira.
"Beautiful as the first place to play, no?" Said Elvira excited before the big dark door.
"Yeah," Jamie sighed, taking a hand behind his back to pull the muscles. After all, the infamous work of loading and unloading of tools had been his job. "I always bring the memory" a vein of sarcasm in her voice and then again a big sigh.
"I do not like this tone, Stone. Not at all, "urged Elvira. "You are not load!" Almost annoyed.
"They are load" snorted exhausted ... But .. "
" No, I do not want to hear! "Interrupted" You make me anxiety. We're going to talk with the landlord to fix the tools. "
The owner, Mr. Jones, welcomed us with great fanfare.
"Hello, boys! You must be the Flaming! "



" ... Stars, yes. "Elvira He said, raising an eyebrow. When it came to business was cold and still as a marble statue. We noticed right away that she was a girl punctilious in which little joke.
While Mr. Jones was a strange ... Very strange. forties, dressed as the best heavy metal of the eighties, but with short hair, baldness was clearly being felt. His way of ask was to limit dell'angosciante: gesticulating like a madman, made sounds like interlayer and spoke at a staggering pace. I admit I understand the half of what he uttered, while Elvira seemed, as usual, juggle the best among the tangle of words.



"Great! I have spoken highly of you ... So do not delutemi!" Laughed loudly and then ushered us inside the room, "Come, come, put your instruments on stage there too! "
"Do not be worried a little bit?" I asked, whispering to Jamie, who just shook his head and almost incredulous smile.
The owner gave us the green light to organize ourselves as best we thought and at last the work infamous touched again almost entirely to the poor Jamie. After all that blame us if we had one with the muscles he had?



The Violent Sound was a very nice room, located fifteen minutes walk from our dorm. Behind the big door was concealed a small dark hallway floor where there was a small table used as cash. The small lobby and then back down into the center of the room. Prints and paintings on the walls of bricks made him master, but the thing that struck me most, perhaps with excitement and emotion of playing for the first time on a mezzanine floor, was the stage. The groups made their triumphant entrance on one side. Entering from a door at the side of the bar, just opposite the entrance, and through a small maze, you came out right there, above the stage in front of everyone.

After the dirty work we walked toward the dormitory to prepare well and try to release tension somehow. Both Jamie
Elvira, after all, seemed calm, after all, was not their first performance, had been part of other groups, and a little experience could say it.
As for me, the speech was totally different and it troubled me not a little: the verdict that could have other than me, the fear of making mistakes so the first time.
The fateful hour arrived without even me noticing, overwhelmed by all these thoughts, and in a time that seemed like a second I was there, one step away from the stage.
"The show begins!" Elvira looked at us with considerable excitement, as you would not give to see.



And I found myself on stage singing in the middle of a small crowd of people staring at me and studied me and judge me. The first legs trembled, her stomach twisted and then I ran over a thousand thoughts of a key and do a single wrong.
Jack was not there, no one to whom I held actually was present that night for me is so important.
I sang with all the voice I had, sfogai the anger that I held inside.



Elvira and Jamie, worthy fellow, what seemed like the perfect companion for my agony more than just a concert so much fun.



beat Jamie on the battery powerful, beautiful and unattainable like a god, Elvira took a different air while delicately touched the strings of his bass-colored fire. Sweet and aggressive at the same time.



Nothing mattered but the voice coming out as powerful as I had never sung. It reflected well on my mood: I was well off, fully integrated into my little body, but inside ... Inside was seething with anger, frustration, sadness, only bitterness and confusion.
I wondered if she could only imagine how much he cared for him, what he represented to me. I loved him, I had no doubts, though it was a buzzword. I loved him. Point.
Occasionally his eyes fell on the uncontrolled crowd. I noticed the band of Jack. Chiatarra immediately lowered his eyes on taking breath and spitting out the voice again violently while singing the songs I had written for him. And he was not there, he preferred to be alone ...
Ridiculous, is what I was. Like a child who is disappointed by their parents who come to see her dance recital. For him I was canceling, I was changing, I was destroying.
not fool me, Jack. It would die. I thought the guitar strings vibrated again and again.



After half an hour of covers and spare our poor, for whom I felt my throat burn, we finished our performance.
got out and threw into the crowd, the evening after all was not over yet.
Elvira went straight to the bar to drink his beer every day, Jamie will find its cheer, eager to embrace and to know his impressions of the concert. Mary did not lose the opportunity to do the first woman as usual, having no eyes for Jamie and of course for herself.



While I went to wash my face, I needed to refresh their ideas. I leaned against the front of the bathroom mirror and sighed loudly. I wanted to break the damn mirror with your head, but I avoided. I stepped slowly out of the room and saw Mary with a fast pace. I went over to Jamie.



"Why run away?" I asked, watching her leave the room.
"has much to learn lately." The air maliconica staring at the door.
"At least she's coming ..." not too confident and he chuckled in reply to me put his hand on his shoulder.
But at that moment we were met was a girl. On the 17 years, dark hair, doe eyes that gave it an air of gentle but mischievous at the same time. He flung himself straight to embrace Jamie.



"Uhm ... He has already made breakthroughs! "Compare Elvira giggling with a glass of beer just got to the counter.
" ... Ehm Not really ... "Jamie pointed out changes color purple" Girls, I present to my sister ... "visibly embarrassed.
" Yes, I'm MaryAnn! HELLO! You were great! "Embraced, or rather, crush the first me then that Elvira had to fight to overthrow the glass between his hands," Jamie, give me the sticks I'm going to do a bit of a mess! "Said enthusiastic .



"Annie, no, please, you've already created quite a stir." Then he turned to us "Scusatela, is a little bit restless ... It would not even have come tonight, right?" The tone of disappointment that concealed a long losing battle against his sister to try to convince her not to come up there alone.
"You're a ball!" Then turning to us, "True that my brother is a ball??"
"This girl I like!" Elvira laughed.
Jamie's eyes widened "Elly, do not put us too though!"



"No, no, I'll put all right! She's right, you'll be even a good drummer, but you are a moralizing to be frightening!" encircled the shoulders of Mary Ann.
The little girl clung to Elvira "Jamie, mica, but you told me to have a bassist so cool!" crystalline laughed.
Jamie rolled his eyes heavenward in exasperation, had just Coalition created a diabolical between his sister and Elvira "Is not it time to go to bed, Annie?"
"Come on, Shut up, hell!" snorted, crossing his arms. You could not say for sure that the girl did not have a good temper.
"Yes, Jamie, shut up!" Elvira approffitta now, amused laugh, "I offer you a drink?" Yeah, ok! Hello! " Jamie did not allow even challenging, went off arm in arm towards the bar.
The poor man turned to me now resigned sigh, "What have I done wrong? Eh, Lu?"
"But, come on, be nice!"
smiles "Yeah .. that's not you live with her for years but 17 years!"
laughed taste of "Go to school, right?"
"Yes, and it is worrying ... does not stand still, but it is one of the best in class! I'm sure Elvis makes me drunk!" looked around worried.
Jamie always knew how to take care of everyone, especially his sister, who, nevertheless, seemed to hold much.
"How do you say ... genius and recklessness is not it?" I continued to laugh.
"Come on, christ, I can not stay with an eye on her and one on the people who talk to me! Sorry, Lou, I'll be back ... "and if he went to the counter to prevent her little sister ended up getting drunk heavily.
Maybe it was fate that he wanted it, but I was alone in a corner of the room. I leaned against the wall looking amphibians totally immersed in my world when a voice woke me up.

"Hello, Mon!" a male voice known and not very pleasant.



I looked up, Alan was the bassist Jack. A full bully himself, thinks he has everything he wants just by snapping your fingers and even convinced one of the best bass players around.
"Hello, Alan!" without enthusiasm and with the expression of one who does not want to be annoyed. He sat beside me
"Really nice the show!" leaned against the wall with his shoulder.
"Uh, thank you!" riabbassai smiles and his eyes.
"Yes, maybe you should refine nell'arpeggio something."
chuckled out without me thinking about what would break every time the balls with the technicalities of his cock.
"Yeah, thanks for the advice." It was not suitable for entertaining evening with a speech that barely stand it.
"Yes, maybe the voice ... I do not know ... It has something ..." I sighed and went back with her eyes on him, pretending to listen


.
"Uhm ..." I nodded blankly.
"Jack could not come tonight." He did not understand that I had no desire to talk to him and especially to talk about Jack.
"Yes, I know. He told me he had to do." Dry.
"Yeah, maybe right now is thinking about you. That's nice. "And giggled that I piaqcue at all.
" Oh really? Just sweet, eh? "The instinct to jump in my throat rose even more.
" Yeah ... A bit like with all the girls he had. "He laughed. I ran a hand over his face, was absurd.
" Yeah ... Already ... His girls ... "he repeated.
At that point it was just too much. I had a lot to say, there were two alternatives: either tear him to pieces, or turn a blind eye. I chose a good middle ground. I stared into his eyes a hint of a smile and showing off the best middle finger and then scanned with a shrug and go from there. make me take the piss out of him was too much. Already thought about Jack to make me feel bad that he had no fun to torture just for the sake of seeing me sick.
I walked to the bar where Elvira, Annie and Jamie will stage their theaters: Annie wanted to drink at all costs obviously instigated by Elvira and Jamie tried in every way to persuade his sister not to do so, failing to warn her.
"Hey, Lu .." Elvis turned to me, running out to harass Jamie for a while "the sonoiol'unicobassistasullaterra you have spoken? Wow, an event ... "
I nodded," Yeah, I also sent a fuck ... "I sighed.
"What happened?" Turned serious and vaguely worried.
"Nothing nothing ... I'm just pissed on his way to be boastful and conceited ... "sbuffai, visibly irritated.
"Ok, Lu, calm down. It 's just a loser, but you see it? You should not blame him. Ok, I know I would be kicking every word he utters but ... Your problem right now is Jack .
I rubbed my face, "Yeah, you're right, cabbage." actually I'd taken with him. But I had always provacative.
"In any case if you sent to hell you did very well, eh!" Sweet Elly smiled, rubbing his arm.
smiled in my turn then drives away the evil thoughts from his head.
"So? Who gives me something to drink?" I turned to the two brothers engaged to quarrel like children.
"C'mon, Jamie, another glass of rum & fruits!" Annie protested.
Jamie's eyes widened in disbelief, "It 's the third drains you, enough!"
"Up, moralizing, from the Alcohol!" Elvira fregorosamente laughed, amused than ever.
"Elvira!" ammonium Jamie. Risi
of taste, for the first time all evening.
If I had had with me my friends would go crazy.
The owner of the club was delighted. He told us that a lot of confidence reposed in us and that even if we continued like that and if he could find the right contacts, maybe we could have a pace with our demo tracks. We do not promise anything for sure, but it was a lot to us. We certainly would call for us to play again.
forgot everything that had happened just before, I was raised not to say almost pleased to have been well appreciated.
was to get back. MaryAnn was shining, inarrstabile, had drained all that his brother had not managed to miss drinking. Would be home by taxi, but decided to stay with her until they arrived.
"Guys, if you please while I go back to the dorm? I have a headache crazy," said Elvira, she probably ofuscata the fumes of alcohol, too. "Mary, next to the color fuchsia, eh?" Jamie laughed and started watching walk, after all were only 10 or 15 minute walk.
"Of course, Elly!" shouted Annie happy. Jamie
both teams and a serious tone, "Hey, what color??"
"Nothing, brother, our business!" and his brother laughed and shook his head looking up to heaven. No way, had lost all hope.
The taxi arrived and after we make sure it was back home safe and sound, the we said goodbye and set off towards the dormitory. We left the tools in charge of the Violent proprierario of them we were going to resume the next day. There
incamminanno slowly enjoying the fresh air and the silence around us. A long silence get turned into something embarrassing, at least for me.
I stopped to look at Jamie's face, so sweet traits. Noticed it and looked at me raising an eyebrow.
"What?" I have something to do? " rubbed his face in a comic. I laughed.
I shook my head "No, no ..."
"Why not?" he laughed. Then he leaned toward me with an amused grin, and I stopped tickling.
We were hugging, laughing for a minute when we became aware of the situation rather embarrassing and Jamie withdrew their hands raised in surrender.



"Ok, truce." He reached for my "Come, give me his hand, Lu. "
" I'm not a girl! "took on a fake pout then took his warm hand.
incamminnamo And we alone in the dark hand to hand. Like two good friends and once again I felt protected .
