Charismatic Cory

It's been a couple of weeks since the tragic news of Cory Monteith's death. It was a shock and I've been in denial ever since. Not only did I fall in love the character Finn Hudson but I was quite fond Cory as an individual. He was such an amazing person and the world has lost a great man but he will never be forgotten. I'm sending out a virtual hug to all  gleeks worldwide. I'm grateful that GLEE helped introduce Cory to the world.

 

I always thought Cory would be the perfect boyfriend, if I was into guys. Anyhow, I can still appreciate beauty and he was one tall glass of handsome. He was: good looking, in shape, tall, athletic, a talented singer, musician & actor; he had: great skin, cool hair, a lovely smile, healthy teeth, a nice personality, and a  great sense of humor. He was full of energy and although he was only my friend in the gleek world, I wish I could've been his friend in real life.

And The Drums

The drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, oh!

I just love GREAT DJ by The Ting Tings; just as much as I love drummers. Okay, so it's no surprise that I'm a total GLEEK! Last April, my niece and I were in San Francisco looking at colleges and it just so happened that Bonnie Dune (Cory Monteith's new band) was performing. We went and it was a fun show!

I make little guitar pick necklaces for people I admire. That being said, I wanted to do something a little different for a cool drummer boy. I got a drum key and inscribed Cory's name on one side, and a star on the other. I then attached it to a key ring, with a chain for clipping on pants and easy access. Cory totally loved it and the band members said that he is always looking for a key. That was so cool because I gave him a gift that he would actually use.

A few months later, Cory tweeted about the drum key! That was just AWESOME! 

Bonnie Dune

The new & upcoming band that everybody seems to know is Bonnie Dune. For me, it was by association. I heard that Cory Monteith was in a new band and just had to check them out. I instantly liked them on facebook and friend'ed them on myspace.



I checked out their songs and really enjoyed them and was looking forward to seeing Cory, the drummer boy, in action. I missed their first L.A. gig, due to prior plans, and was going to try and see them in San Juan Capistrano but there was a major storm and couldn't make the drive.



So I didn't think I would see the band anytime soon. I ended up taking a family trip to San Francisco because my niece was going to check out a college. A couple of days before the trip, I saw that BD was playing at the Bottom of the Hill, which happens to be in San Francisco and to top it off, it was an all ages show! My sister dropped my niece & I off and we got to see the band and hang out after.

The band was awesome! I enjoyed their set. I really liked their songs but unfortunately they didn't have any music at the merch table. The guys were super nice =] and good looking ;).



Cute girl after the show ;)
