do you like depeche mode?

So this past Friday was one of insanity and stamina. I awoke to my alarm before the sun was even awake. I drove to San Antonio to give my support to my step mom, Mel, before her major surgery. She had a tumor near one of her kidney's and they had to remove the tumor as well as the entire organ. At that point they still were not sure if it was malignant. So after a few hours at the hospital I hopped back in Loofa and headed home.

Rex and I made it to ACL that afternoon just in time to see Gogol Bordello. This is a band that has sparked some interest in me over the past year or so and they blew me away with their energetic live performance!

So earlier that day I figured I would try wearing a skirt and leggings so that I would be comfortable walking around and probably cooler. Well of course my rare idea of a skirt is black as turned out to be the rest of my ensemble. So there I was in black from head to toe with the exception of two purple flowers I plugged in my pigtails. (start wearing purple - wearing purple! - this is a line from one of Gogol Bordello's songs - hence the purple flowers)

Rex is taking a quick restroom break and I'm alone in line for another margarita. I'm already low energy and a space case because of the long day and a guy turns around and in front of his friends looks at me and says "do you like Depeche Mode?"

I kinda smiled and just stared at him as if he were speaking a foreign language. Normally I'm quick to chime in in most conversations, I just didn't have it in me. I admittedly, was very confused by the short question. He turned around to his friends and they all laughed. Another one of his comrades comes up to them and he says to him, you missed a good one! Ha ha the joke was on me... and I was too dazed to have a quick come back. It was actually hysterical. I suppose I looked like a little goth kid, mary janes and all, lost without her lunch box purse.

He later turned around and apologized, which almost made it all worse. I will however give him some credit as mean/funny as it was. I think most of us are guilty of assuming things about random strangers and how we perceive them. He just was a big enough ass hole to say it directly to the target instead of out of ear shot. I still wish I would've said, "Why, are you the president of the Death Cab for Cutie Fan Club?"

On a much lighter note (no pun intended) I have officially lost 12 pounds as of my Monday morning weigh in! And that was fully dressed and with wet hair!
