I'm ranking these because, unlike with the other lists, there is a clear favorite. Here you go, best things that happened in 2010:
5. Fourth of July
Independence Day was so memorable because no one actually remembers what happened. We kicked it so hard that by Sunday, the 4th, I was absolutely exhausted. Michelle was working the door at MAI, and I decided to leave and come back when it was over. I left and came back and ended up falling asleep in my car before I could get out and go in. Further… any time we're trying to figure out when something happened we have to ask, "Was that the fourth?" It's kinda bad, but kinda awesome at the same time.
4. Memorial Day
This was the first time we heard "Power." And it was a reeeally random night for a lot of reasons. This makes the list because a nice chunk of inside jokes start with Memorial Day. It's also perfect because I went somewhere I wouldn't have gone and made it an absolute blast.
3. My Birthday Weekend
April 30, 2010 it started raining and didn't stop until some time on May 2, 2010. And so occurred the Nashville Flood of 2010. The third season of The Boondocks premiered on May 2, so for my birthday (May 3) I planned a viewing party because The Boondocks is one of my favorite things. Of course, it didn't go as planned. I ended up playing bartender for my mom. But it was cool. On my birthday, the sun came out and it was really hot. I don't remember a whole lot about that night but I hit a garbage can driving home…
2. LoveNoise Fridays
Me and Michelle had a nice little routine. I was working at Jacksons, she worked the door. She would come to Jacksons every Friday before LoveNoise and I would go to LoveNoise after Jacksons. That weekly routine kept us sane for a while. We came up with certain rules about who can sing what songs (e.g. NO ONE can sing Jill Scott except Jill Scott.), we accidentally went to a Bone Thugs N Harmony concert, and we discovered that there are some clubs that mix your Henn with flat coke from a 2 liter. It was a good time. I kinda miss those nights.
1. Epic Weekend
By far, my favorite thing about this entire year was the EPIC weekend of September 24-26. Friday was the awesome Hispanic Heritage Celebration that Michelle and her coworkers worked SO hard to make happen for most of the year. It turned out really well. Saturday we saw the Nashville Symphony with Michael McDonald. It was beautiful and we discovered that Michael talks just like he sings… Sunday we saw Janelle Monae live with of Montreal. It was… indescribable. It was a really great weekend. We had been planning all of those things for most of the year, but we didn't realize they fell on the same weekend until maybe Tuesday of that week. It worked out perfectly and it's the highlight of an awesome year.
