If there is one thing we learned this weekend, it's that our maturity is inversely correlated to the temperature outside. The lower the mercury dips on the thermometer, the more elderly we become, and this weekend as the temperature plummeted we started applying for our AARP cards.

-During the show we are PISSED when, 20 minutes into the performance, a group of obnoxious highschool age kids sit behind us and begin chatting to eachother loudly, talking about drinking 40's and NOT turning off their cell phones, glare at them then finally loudly call them assholes.

Forever Your Girls,
Paige and Holly
