1) Meet up with friends at a downtown bar.
2) Go next door to The Dame to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
3) Enjoy the music fully.
4) Say hello to Michael Been of The Call, father of Robert Levon Been of BRMC, and sound man for the band.
5) Resist singing "Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya" to him.
6) Sing it anyway, because it's a fucking great song. And then take a crappy cell phone picture with Michael Been. (Because HELLO, STARSTRUCK!)
7) Go back to the bar next door and have another beer or two.
8) Flirt a little with Peter Hayes of BRMC while he plays darts. (Because HELLO, STARSTRUCK! And also, ADORABLE TINY ASS!)
9) Think about the fact that I gave Michael Been and Peter Hayes my MOO card(s).
10) Hope that they see this blog entry. Hello, fellas! Thanks so much for coming to Lexington!
11) Thank the Internet Gods for helping me find Radio Paradise five+ years ago, because that's where I first heard (of) BRMC.
12) Smile wistfully, because my kids are now safely back in France.
