But now let me fill you in before you enjoy the video. So Summer and I went to college in San Diego and met these super HOT firefighters. These boys went to see this cover band every Wednesday night in PB called Metal Shop, so guess who our favorite band was... you got it... Metal Shop. Well Summer and I ended up seriously loving our Wednesday nights and even after the fire crew fell off the bandwagon we didn't care because we constantly were recruiting friends to join us(I think Shawna and even Autumn were regulars). Doesn't sound so bad right? What I haven't mentioned yet was we traveled 30 minutes one way to see them every Wednesday and one of our crazy friends ended up introducing us and we would talk to the band before or after the show. Serious groupies! haha! For a cover band! The band changed their name to Metal Skool and now many people recognize them as Steel Panther. If you have ever seen their shows you would know they are SO raunchy on stage, but when we knew them they could not have been nicer to us.
One day near Summer's birthday(August) they emailed us this You Tube video and seriously we screamed! So happy! So in love with them! Needless to say I was SO, SO JEALOUS! Every time I hear an 80's metal band(our faves were Def Leppard, GnR, Poison, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Warrent, Whitesnake, and even our former neighbor in Vegas, Slaughter!) it makes me SO happy. I get teary when I hear Sister Christian(by Night Ranger) because that is the song Summer and I dedicated to each other since Metal Skool rarely played it.
Steel Panther still play in LA and I keep telling the sisters that we need to see them soon. Maybe if we can recruit some old friends and new friends we could make a night of it! :)
By the way... we ARE still fun, but in a more chilled out way!
I love reading all your blog posts! You guys are all as beautiful and funny as ever:)

I still see them from time to time in LV :) It's great when someone sees them for the first time.
