Today I'm thinkin', howza-bout a thorough photo tour of my Memphis trip to make you feel like you were right along side with me the whole way (because we all know that would have made the trip ten times better than it already was).
DAY 1.
Tornado warnings in Arkansas prairie land equals a no bueno combination.
Recommendation: drive faster...
Unless there's an antique shop in town. Then you stop, look around, and take pictures.
Kill as much time as you possibly can gazing at old trucks and abandoned buildings, and if you find a sign that says 'do not enter', you enter anyway and take lots more photos.
Even if it is filled with tornado remnants.
Snap a photo of your pretty sister and your pretty friend.
And ask them to snap a photo (or two) for you too, no matter how silly you look.
When you get to your hotel, check to see if the roof is open. The view is amazing and the feeling, well it's quite exhilarating.
But be careful, this is the 11th floor, and you've still got a show to attend!
When you get to the show, stop at nothing to get the best seat in the house because (trust me) it makes the entire experience that much better.
lead singers foot --> my bag.
Take lots & lots of photos of all the handsome band members even if you do look like a crazy teeny-bopper at an N'Sync show, circa 1999.
And make sure someone's getting a video of your favorite song (thank you, Michael).
Be sure to dance your ass off so that your nice a sweaty by the end.
Just don't go too crazy and throw your bra onstage.
DAY 2.
After you've partied til 3 in the morning with an 11 a.m. check out time, wake up early and grab a bite to eat at a local cafe, then thrift your heart out with some of your dearest friends making sure to pick up lots of goodies for your shop while your there. ;)
Do a little number to a 'do-da-do-da' song by yourself if you feel like it.
Don't plan on just 'looking' through American Apparel when you go in. You know you're weak, and you're destined to splurge.
Both my sister and the worker told me I needed this skirt when I tried it on, and I couldn't disagree, although my wallet felt much differently. Sadly, I left the bow tie behind, but I just couldn't justify spending anymore money than I already had. I was kind of disappointed I had to turn down the job I was offered on spot after hearing about their health benefits and clothing allowance, it's just too far of a drive for a AA retail job.
Finally, when everyone is exhausted and ready for an early bedtime, you make a trip by the Mississippi and enjoy the perfect springtime weather.
Then you end it with a roadtrip home and lots of photos to remember it by.
Hope you had fun riding the photo tour along with me.
