The last few days have been a whirlwind of emotions for us here at SoS. Everything started so great– we picked the winner of our ticket giveaway Monday, announced it Tuesday, which was also the day that brought us Sam’s new album AND some effawesome pics of Marcus.
Naturally, because the Universe hates loves me, that was were our goo fortune ended, i.e. when the shitteth hit the fanneth.
In my real life, I work for the public education system as an athletic trainer and part of my job requires that I travel with any teams that make play-offs. Usually this isn’t an issue because for the most part I have always worked for schools that are, uh, let’s just say, more “academically inclined”. Moving back to the Metroplex found me taking a job with a school that has A LOT of success at sports.
I never worried about it because I thought, what would I rather do then watch my team advance in play-offs??
Uh– watch Sam Bradley and Brooke Fraser at the HoB in Dallas, that’s what.
If you don’t follow us on twitter (shame on you if you don’t) then you have been spared my virtual wailing and gnashing of teeth as I tweeted the progress of my volleyball team on their quest for the Texas State Volleyball play-offs. As you may have guessed, they have continued to win, sending them, and by them I mean me, to the Regional Tournament…..wait for it…..THIS Friday. Yup. The night of Sam and Brooke’s show. I mean, don’t get me wrong I am proud of my team and truly hope they make it to State…..
but I am selfish too.
I mean, I will be missing moments like this:

Butts grabs and shots? Um. No. I will not be denied. Therefore at 11am, yesterday morning, Amber and I activated Operation Determined LiLi.
I shall not be left out of potential drunkenness from Amber, or meeting Skuck669, the lovely winner of the pair of tickets, or my chance to finally touch Sam’s hair word vom and be socially awk. No. I shall rage against the dying of the light.
Dramatic, I know. But it’s late. And I am in my jammies. So love me through it, yeah?
So here’s what I’m gonna do people….stay with me. We play at 5pm and will be done by 7pm at the latest. I will only be two hours away, so I am taking my own car and driving back to Dallas after our game instead of riding home on the bus. I mean, getting to go to the show AND not having to ride a school bus with 22 teenage girls….uh….WIN-WIN my friends.
And I will get to see Amber in PERSON not just virtually through our daily gchats. And not let this kickass ticket go to waste! double bonus WIN.
So, in exchange for my uber creepy fangirl ways dedication to this blog, I only ask one small favor of Sam. Please to be wearing a deep v-neck tee like this one:
ohaithere manfur. please to meetcha.
deal mmmkay?
What do you think– how creepy am I to drive back right after we play our game? A little? A lot? Restraining order amount?
Amber
Li Li
I <3 Determined LiLi!!
And um, Sam, yeah. The things we do. Oh, you have no idea.
And now that I know you are handing out butt grabs, I'm gonna go ahead and say… Save one for me!

Oh Lili, i feel your pain. Go and have fun!!!
Amber, I want a lot of pics!!!!
Hey girls!
Sam is in Nashville playing with Brooke tonight and I wish I could say I had tickets but sadly no. The line to get in stretched all the way down the street. They were sold out a long time ago. I did go eat have some drinks two doors down at Sam’s bar and grill. I tried to strain to hear him but couldn’t hear jack but the Patriots game on the tv. I yelled out the car window on the way out- Good Luck Sam! We love ya! Oh and Im with Amber on the butt grabs, save one for me!!
