In The Trust Tree…
So you know how 27 times a day sometimes Amber and I refer to our gchats via twitter?
And every once and a while will post them on here?
Yeah. We like it.
So we are rolling with it. Again.
And we feel like this is something that we will do regularly….so it needed a name.
After much brainstorming and arguing back and forth we went with the first thing that came to mind :
In The Trust Tree
Cause that’s what our gchats are. A safeplace to fangirl and not be judged. Or for us to get ammo to have on each other the one day that this whole thing blows up in our faces and we are called in to testify. Either way. They are fun. And sometimes too good NOT to share with you guys. Especially when pics like THIS come through our feed:
We saw this and immediately had oh so much to say about it.
Check it:

LiLi: bye! So there it is…our latest edition of In The Trust Tree. What did you all think? Wanna snuggle up in the tree with us? There’s plenty of room! |
I’m THIS Close to Pulling the Emergency Handle Marcus!
Yesterday, LiLi and I got all kinds of jazzed up! We were kind of dying for some Marcus news for awhile, and finally last week, you came out of the woodwork and tweeted for us:
Of course, we were walking on air for you! I mean, I literally squeed out loud and did a happy dance. So then, yesterday, Chris Maas (XMAAS on the Twitter) tweeted this:
LiLi was excited. I said WTF. Because back in June, you tweeted this:
Now, here is my question… is the new EP still coming? Or are you ::gasp:: starting over since you got the record deal? Cause let me tell you, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this EP and I don’t know how much longer I can wait.
Since it’s what we do, LiLi and I had a little chat about this. Here is my reaction, in real time:
So there. See what you are driving me to Marcus? Not only am I thinking about pulling out Harold & Kumar this weekend, watching, laughing, and then being all sad panda about not having a White Castle near me, but I’m also getting impatient and am THIS close to pulling the emergency handle.
Give us a little update. Do it for Sam, cause trust. He does not want to be on the receiving end of that awkward DM.
P.S. I just saw and rememebered I mean to ask you about this tweet:
Srsly. Dude. I will blow your ass out of the water on Words with Friends. I am this close to just searching for MarcusFoster1 and starting with this battle royale of word play. Oh, and don’t cheat and use your English words on me. I only can write in American.
P.P.S. For any of you wondering… I would NEVER pull the emergency handle. Ever. And I stay away from that mofo when I am drunk, cause I don’t trust Drunk Amber with the emergency handle. At all.
Amber’s Drunken Concert Review (Cause that’s how I roll!)
Okay seriously. No beer next time I’m at a Sam show. Really.
Actually, I did remember pretty much everything from the Dallas show. I kind of had an amazing time. And the night pretty much ended up being epic, as always.
Let us start from the beginning…
ohaithere Mr. Bradley!
I arrive, and some how I am at the front of the line to get into the show. I don’t know how this happened. In case you all don’t realize, I’m normally not there till the doors open cause seats by the bar are normally easy to find for some reason. Thank goodness our ticket winner Shannon came early and managed to mosey her way to the front of the line. I was lonely. And the girls behind me kept talking about how awesome their recent trip to church camp was, which was making me feel awkward since my boobs were hanging out. No really. They were. We’ll talk more about my cleavage later… I promise!
We got inside, got my $9 beer and I was starting to feel a little bit better. I was right in line of where I knew the eff me eyes would be and was explaining the awesomeness that is a Sam Bradley concert to Shannon, who was a Sam virgin before that night. Woo hoo! Always happy to assist someone with popping their cherry!
Poor LiLi did not make the Sam performance at the show. I was so sad for her. I even saved her an amazing spot (in line with the eff me eyes. duh.), but it was not meant to be. And, while I was hoping Sam might start a little late, he started 10 minutes early. LiLi didn’t stand a chance. Which is why you are getting the “Amber only” side of things right now.
The show starts and I tell you what, the boy can perform! This is why I’ve fallen in love with Sam. I was just in like with him until the first live performance. And now, even at concert number 4 for me, the boy still has it! In fact, dare I say he has gotten better since the first time I saw him? Yes, I dare say it!
Man. I love this picture. :sigh:
My fave songs from Friday? Duh. Lights. Mainly cause I love the f-bomb a lot, especially with church camp girls standing next to me. That was win. Scared was equally amazing. And he busted out this song called Sugar Mama, which just made me giggle thinking about this post I wrote about Sam’s quest for a sugar mama. I’m guessing he’s still looking ladies! I’d volunteer, but I’m pretty sure you have to be rich to be a sugar mama, right? Damn it. He also sung a song written by his mom during the show. During an awkward silence before he started, I yelled out “moms rock!” Yes. That was me. Love me through it.
Overall, the show was major win, with the biggest flaw always being that it is too short. But I guess that is a sacrifice you have to make when opening for other musicians, which I will say, is a smart marketing move on Sam’s part. I’ve seen lots of positive tweets from Brooke Fraser fans on Sam over the past few days, and it’s all about growing the fan base, right?
Do I dare talk to you all about the “meet & greet”? Of course I will. Duh. That was the best part of the show.
So I only went through the line twice. Let’s all be amazed by this, cause you know how I am when I have a couple of beers in me. And apparently Sam does too, cause whilst talking to Two Shoes, Sam waved at me, then asked me if I was drunk. I shook my head no, and then he gave me “the look”, then I shook my head yes. Color me embarrassed.
I talked to Two Shoes for a bit while we waited, and while I apparently thought it was the first time we really met, he informed me otherwise. Via Twitter. Awesome. :facepalm:
@ShackofSoul we defs met in LA.. One can't forget you—
two.shoes (@twoshoesx) November 13, 2010
Alright, enter Sam. First things first, I had him sign the bazjillion things I bought at the merch stand, got my hug, and then took my picture. Which I love, thanks to Picnik’s 1960′s effect!
Love me and my hipster plaid!
Then whilst trying to turn off my camera, I managed to snap a shot of my chest. Sam leaned over and whispered, “I think you just took a picture of your cleavage.” And I pretty much died right there. Cause I did, well sort of. This was what happened…
My failed cleavage attempt. No worries. I got a better one later.
Gah. Embarrassing.
I walked away at that point and proceeded to wait on LiLi, who finally got there and then we got to the end of the line again (which luckily was the end, cause we needed some extra Sam time).
And then…. To be continued!
Hahahaha! LiLi is gonna spill the rest of what happened that night tomorrow.
What will you do till then?!? Duh. Enter to win your own autographed copy of Zuni! Read the instructions in yesterday’s blog and srsly, get entered.
Where we conquer LA. And Amber gets drunk. I blame Jason Segel.
ohaithere Sam and Co....totes forgot my camera ::facepalm::
Once upon a time, LiLi and Amber packed up their little bags (well, mine was little…Amber’s could hold a small child) and flew out West to have some girly time and see one Mr. Sam Bradley at the Hotel Cafe. In case you didn’t know, Sam is playing there every Tuesday until July 13th– so if you are in the area, go check him out. And then send us pics. Word.
Now, if you know Amber or I, or hell, if you have even read one post of this here little blog, then you know that we don’t take things too seriously ’round here. That’s just us. I mean, yes, we like to give the news on the guys but we can’t help but add in our own thoughts to things. So, if you are looking for a specific-music-theory-analysis-complete-with-set-lists then sorry….this isn’t it. What it is though, is a re-telling of two fangirls’ trip to see someone that they really like. Hell, we should like him. We blog about him. But I digress….
So, pull up a chair and take a stroll with us down memory lane as we re-live our Sam experience via gchat:
We try to start off on the right track….but derail quickly:
LiLi: sooooo

LiLi: any regrets?
Amber: um, everything?
LiLi: BWAHAHAHA
Amber: is that a good answer?
LiLi: maybe that 11th beer?

Amber: my biggest regret is that my friends didn’t stop me
LiLi: um, hell to the no
at least you weren’t the one that showed him the pic of Otto.
[LiLi edit: watch this. trust.]
Amber: TRUTH!
Amazingly, I did not have that much beer flowing through me.
LiLi: i was dead that that point. and not in that good way.

Amber: he seemed to be on his game for the night with the fans
LiLi: and during the show– cause let’s go ahead and get this out there– Sam gives good eyes

SoS Concert Review: Marcus Foster
No...don't do it...don't smile. ::phew:: That was close.
Today for your reading enjoyment, Amber and I give you our “Official Marcus Foster Concert Review”….because we are professionals. And by professionals I mean that we got on skype last night and re-lived our night and maybe fangirled a little bit again. So, if it’s a serious review you are after….well….this isn’t it. If you are looking for a “review” that touches on word vomit, short pants and the B-52′s then sit, stay and read.
Where we try and get down to business…but we don’t. At all:
Li Li: Marcus Foster concert….GO
Amber: Let’s get to business!
Li Li: yes– is it wrong to say that that show was my fave so far out of all the guys??
Amber: NO! It was kind of my fave, too. But Marcus is kind of my fave so it’s understandable. He just gets up there and brings it. Like every damn emotion in the book comes floating to the surface.
Li Li: yes! he doesn’t filter…which i totes love…it makes each show so different
Amber: Plus, he was the only one that didn’t recognize me, which made me happy. Was afraid I’d have to go incognito!
Li Li: hahaha…i don’t think he reconizes anyone….even peeps he knows
Amber: No, not at all. That makes me happy. I like being able to fangirl with him not being able to remember.
Li Li: I totally word-vomited on him though
Li Li: i just couldn’t stop myself
Amber: Uh, me too. He actually asked me if I was okay. ::facepalm::
Li Li: that. is. awesome
Li Li: i need a freaking filter
Li Li: i whispered in his ear “I blogged about you today”…..like that doesn’t scream “creeper” or anything
Amber: No. No you didn’t!! STFU!
Li Li: yes. yes i did
Li Li: talk about ::facepalm::
Amber: It’s okay, I asked him if he googled himself. C’mon Amber!
Li Li: and then i totes didn’t back you up when you asked if I googled myself
Li Li: i was like, uh, no…..hahahaha
Granny panties and smells:
Amber: He is kind of touchy feely, which makes Amber happy.
Li Li: um, yeah with the touchy.
Amber: I liked it.
Li Li: he put his hand around my waist a couple of times and all i could think about was that I was wearing those tights…and the waistband came up really high on me…and I kept thinking, “he must think I wear really high waisted underwear”…..he was probs like, wellhellothere granny panties
Amber: No, no way. I’m dying over here.
Amber: Oh well, I got my “uninitiated by Amber” hug and I was happy as can be!
Amber: Cloud 9 baby!
Li Li: word
Li Li: i got to smell him
Li Li: wait.
Li Li: is that weird to say outloud?
Li Li: or type outloud?
Li Li: whatevs
Amber: Whatever, I take a deep breath anytime I’m around those guys.
Amber: Not in a creepy obvious way.
Li Li: ::fistbump::….well, duh
Li Li: no one wants to be caught sniffing someone else….that’s just bad form
Li Li: he smelled like man. and cigarettes
Amber: and sunshine. and rainbows. and beer.
Li Li: yes. yes. and yes. is it getting hot in here?
Young fans and kick ace shoes:
Li Li: okay now srsly…what about those two little girls in the front row??
Li Li: how freaking cute were they??
Li Li: all singing along and shit??
Amber: First off, I was shocked, cause Marcus music does not seem like it would hit home with the teeny bopper crowd.
Amber: Then I wanted to go and hug them for actually waking up and recognizing good music as something other then Miley Cyrus!
Li Li: yeah…but they were like 9. you know their mom probs has his CD on repeat in the car EVERYDAY and had no choice but to become fans
Li Li: little teeny cute hat wearing fans….in the front row
Li Li: if I had had a few more beers I probs would have been pissed that they got such good seats
Amber: Their mom is #normal. I do that to my kids.
Li Li: #duh
Amber: And yeah, how the hell did they get those sweet ass seats. Where the hell were we? Oh yeah, the bar. #whereelse
Li Li: word….I was fangirling over seeing @PangeforPrez and finally meeting my ShinerTwin @tracyvanhorne
Amber: I love, love, LOVE seeing all the ladies. I was fangirling a little on @Ashnanphillips, partly because I want all of her shoes.
Li Li: those shoes were effing BRILL
Amber: Oh and everyone was waiting for me to speak in hashtags. #theywishtheywereascoolasme
Li Li: #doubleduh #hashtagsoutsideoftwitterFTW
Read about shushing, porn and more word vomiting, after the jump…..
