Oh the stories we'll have to tell the grandkids

In our short time together Dominic and I have had no shortage of epic moments. Moments we experience together that beg to have their stories told even though words cannot do them justice. Moments that burn such intense memories in our minds they defy time. Last night we were lucky to experience more of the same.

We thought the last encounter we had with Chris Conley was unbeatable, that was until last night! Saves the Day was playing at the Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and we, of course, were there with bells on. Dominic and I were walking up to the doors and saw the STD tour bus outside. Inside the bus we see a pink haired kid who was unmistakeably Chris Conley. We decided to write him a note thanking him for the unforgettable gift. Dominic lifted me up to the window, I gave a knock and handed Chris the note. He quickly closed the blinds, surprised that he'd been spotted by fans. As Dominic and I turned to go back inside Chris opened up the window and invited us over. He asked us to show him the finished product and his reaction was priceless. With the window open he hung half way out to see the tattoos and talk to us. We thanked him and he thanked us. He said he loved our tattoos and he was happy to be a part of it. We talked for several minutes but i cant recall everything that was said, just that what we were experiencing was incredible. After the show we talked to him again and he let us know that he had told everyone about our tattoos. He seemed really excited about them and told us we're the only people with tattoos hand written by Chris Conley.

It's really crazy to think that we've made such an incredible connection with someone like him. We certainly will never forget him and I don't think, after last night, that Chris is likely to forget us either.

There were some other noteworthy events that took place last night but they dont quite match the tone of this story so I will let Dom post about them.

I don't know if you know it, but 'this is not an exit' is from the book American Psycho. And of course from the song. But it's weird cuz I finished the book last night, then just now saw your tattoos. Weirdness, huh?

But the conclusion represented by "This Is Not An Exit" in American Psycho is a completely different creature than the song title tattooed on my arm. However, if one day I run across a hardcore American Psycho fan and they point out that they understand my tattoo I will probably just let them revel in their "understanding" rather than crush their small little world supported by capitalism and its ironies.
