Over on the Absolute Chaos boards, we have a "Warm Fuzzies" thread and a "Pet Peeves" thread, and I thought that something like that might help boost the number of posts over here as well. So... I decided to make a "You should've been there!!" thread. Post your highlights of the day, funniest thing you heard of the day, annoyance of the day... whatever makes you go "You should've been there!!" Post any day, everyday, all day... just post.

I'll start us off...
Today at my new job (I work in an office supply store), I was following one of my bosses and we passed by the tech. dept. and he introduced me to someone, saying, "He's our geek." And the "geek" was like, "Oh. We've MET." And nodded, very serious, as though he were saying "Trust me, this girl's trouble. I got this one." And gave me this look, like joking that he was keeping an eye on me, it was hilarious! I get the feeling he and I are going to become good friends. LOL

Well good! You should be excited!
It was so funny, there was this girl in the audience standing there with her arms crossed, and Brian started mocking her and making goofy faces, and she started laughing, but she never uncrossed her arms. LOL Brian singled out everyone he could see that wasn't having a blast and made them laugh.

Doesn't anyone have anything they wanna share with the rest of us? Come on people! Lets make some more effort to keep this board going, I miss you all! You must have SOMEthing you want to share. Estrella, you're going to college right now, aren't you? or did you take the summer off? But there's gotta be something happening at college that you wanna share. Kat, you always have stories about work! Lets hear some more. Favi, you're starting college soon! And I heard about a little mishap recently... eh? And everyone else too! We all have interesting lives. I promise. Whether we personally think they're interesting or not. I'm getting bored on here without anyone posting! Give me something. LOL

Sure Amy! I'll oblige. I'm not in college at this moment. I took the summer off (I don't know anyone who takes classes in the summer) and I have about 3 more weeks left. But here's one... I went to the beach today (the Mediterranean looks beautiful right now) and I was riding the waves on a tube when a huge wave came along and I flipped over completely. It was funny but I guess you should have been there!

OMG That scares me so much when that happens! LOL There was one time when I was little, I was standing in like one foot of water on the beach and this wave came crashing in and I did a backwards summer-salt (sp?). It scares me so bad though!
Thanks for sharing, Estrella!! And that seems odd to me that people there don't take classes during the summer. A lot of people here do. Not everyone, but it's certainly not uncommon.

I've been on vacation, so no stories from work this week Did go to the BSB concert last night, and some asshole security guard told my friend and i we couldnt use our cameras, which annoyed me greatly, but after like 10 minutes my friend just started using hers again and i watched for him and poked her when he was coming by..and then at some point i just said screw it and started using mine as well lol

Ugh, that is annoying, but glad you got to use it after all! Is it a video camera or just a regular digital camera? I've seen them get tough about digital camcorders, but not regular cameras, even if the venue says they aren't allowed. I used to always take disposable cameras and hide them to sneak them in cause I was afraid of my camera getting taken away, but usually it seems like they don't make a big deal out of it these days. I guess it depends on the venue, though.

It was because we both own dSLR (ie. "professional") cameras, and i get the whole reason behind it, but really, if i was going to take pictures for commercial use, would i really be in the 20th row with a 200mm zoom? I dont have video mode on my camera, and there honestly were people who got more "close up" pictures than i did, the only difference is that mine came out really clearly because i know how to set my camera up.
I would have brought my back up camera, but i lent it out to a friend and didnt have time to get it back before the show. Whatever, the worst he could have done was kick us out, and by the time i started using my camera again it was close enough to the end of the show that i would have survived heh

Dang, that's lame. But not too bad. The security guy at the bsb concert I went to a couple weeks ago just didn't want people in the aisles taking pictures. He didn't care other than that. But cool that you were on vacation!!

Which dSLR do you have? I have one too Mine is a Nikon D80. I have 2 lenses, a Nikon 28-105 mm and a Tokina 100 mm F2.6. It took me forever to save enough money for it, but it's so worth it!
