Second Leg.

i knew it.
i knew that green day would come back for a second leg of the US tour. it was exactly on this second leg of the american idiot tour, 5 years ago, that dorian and i went on our geek-er-ific green day blog road trip and followed the show to 7 different stops... and i was 5 months pregnant.

here i am again, 5 months pregnant, and yesterday was the pre-sale for the next phoenix green day show. which is in august. which is exactly when im supposed to be having a rocket baby.

due on the 16th, concert on the 30th... baby rocket will most likely be born already.

my thinking was, hey lets bring him! the show is at an enormous outdoor arena, we could easily find a nice little patch of grass on the lawn. it would be like a really loud picnic, with my favorite band playing in the distance but still not far enough away to exclude me. picture it, nursing a happy newborn at the rock show. its what jane austen would have done if she had been a green day fan.

i told dorian this plan and he agreed. and then i found out he thought i was kidding.

plan b? i hold the baby in for 2 extra weeks with some determined clenching and we all enjoy the show, still from the cheap seats as im sure dorian (who didnt approve of my collander strapped about the waist method of baby protection in 2005) will surely not approve of strainer-based armour in 2010, and everyone will be happy with a nice uterus barrier between noise and second hand pot smoke. right?

leave baby rocket with a baby sitter, you suggest? that may be an option, except for the fact that i know good and well that a two week old baby knows only one thing about babysitters- 'youre not my mom and i dont like that about you'

i didnt buy presale tickets, though i may still have a few days to convince dorian that my jane austen plan is solid. till then, im open to suggestions.

and i, i just wana see the light.
and i need to know whats worth the fight.
