Catching up.

I’m a Pearl Jam fan and thought it strange that would be where Clark takes Lois. Lois has shown interest in jazz and blues so grunge feels a little out of sorts? This concert being the only thing in town that weeks makes it much more plausible. Looking forward to the take on this!

Grunge is all flannel and jeans? I laughed at this and the description of Lois’ outfit. This will be a hoot!

Heehee. I wonder if Lois listened to any of the songs rotflol
Whether she did or not, I think she's going to believe Clark loves the songs when he cites the verses lol

I don't mind Pearl Jam, though I'm more partial to other alternative bands around this time. But yeah it makes NO sense that Lois and Clark would want to see Pearl Jam so their reactions to the band are based on how we feel they would react. Lol. And yeah Clark doesn't get the outfit totally right...

She listened to a few, but not as many as Clark. She did, however get some Intel about the opening band...

Can't say that I even knew what kind of music Pearl Jam played, before I looked that up for one of my own fics. But yeah, it definitely seems an odd choice to go on such a concert for a first date.

Can't wait for the next chapter

I can't imagine wanting to go to a concert even for a band you DO like. No chance to talk or get to know one another. Very odd, so of course we had to do it. Next chapter will be up in a few!

Slowly catching up with this one and having a blast! How did they end up so confused about each other? LOL!

I loved Jimmy being on board with it! Epic indeed! And Cat did a great work with Lois's outfit, wow!

I'll have to put on some Pearl Jam while I read the rest. grin

See ya!

P.S.:

Concerts were unfamiliar territory. A terrible choice for a first date, unless it had been an orchestral concert, a jazz concert...anything but a band he hardly knew and a genre that was a complete mystery to him.

Dinner was the home field advantage of dates. Pearl Jam was...an away game in a land of which he didn't know the culture nor speak the language.

Talk about stepping out of your comfort zone! help

His eyes were drawn first to the deep burgundy of her lips, and for a moment, he allowed himself to imagine kissing those lips. The creamy skin of her neck and shoulders and collarbone was flawless, exposed by the black tank top with impossibly thin straps. Her long legs disappeared under a tastefully short, black mini-skirt, and she was wearing some sort of chunky, industrial boots that were somehow also a clean and stylish black. And there was flannel. But somehow, she made it hopelessly sexy, the long-sleeved red and black shirt was tied around her waist, accenting the whole outfit.

Should we be surprised that Lois looks great? After all. she is a Mistress of Disguise! Flannel and jeans were my husband Ted's favorite outfit as well, since he grew up on a farm in upstate New York. Like Ted, that whole line of atire had to be ditched when he moved downstate and starting wearing suits. Honestly, this is a fun read!

Okay, he would listen to all of them. And...if he had time and could stand it, he would try to learn the lyrics. After all, any one of these songs could be Lois' favourite song.

Maybe he should have asked her which ones were her favourite so he'd only have to learn a few.

Oh the sacrifices we make for the one we love. love lol lol

lovetvfan, this is just so Lois and Clark. You should have been a contributor to the show. Maybe we could have gotten a few more seasons to enjoy.

Hi Sara and Sara!

Clark stared at the contents of his closet with apprehension. He actually had the required clothing elements. It was just...
Combining them seems dangerous?

Quote
No thinking whatsoever. He'd looked right at her nervous yet excited smile and desperately grabbed at the first available option.
Better catch and think later than think first and miss?

Quote
But he'd spent $200 on this—non-refundable.
Pot committed. Its like when Lois is already down one vest and he’s in his boxers. Better to bet it all than fold.

Quote
And Lois had looked rather excited about the band. So clearly she was a fan, and if that was the case, he was downright thrilled that he'd lucked into such great tickets for a band she loved.
I said it before. PJ at the wedding.

Quote
Because grunge was apparently all about jeans and flannel.
Aaaaaahhhhhh…

Quote
But how it qualified as grunge, he had no clue.
They sound just like an overworked tractor engine backed by a stable filled with unmilked cows?

Quote

rotflol

LOIS: uuuuu…the…loud one?

Quote
Yep. To impress her. He'd do anything to impress her.
Except strip down to his big boy pajamas in front of her.

Quote
Last Exit. Okay...was this music?
No, the CD is scratched.

Quote
Was this song about taking drugs?
No, about listening to classical music on a record disk.

Quote
Maybe Lois liked working out to these songs because they were angry sounding and motivated her to work harder, run faster?
Because she’s not agitated enough most of the time?

Quote
Ah, there was the screaming, low-key screaming at the end. Why was this song almost six minutes long?
laugh

Quote
d the messaging about important issues. He just...really, really wished the music wasn't an assault on his ears.
Otherwise people wouldn’t listen.

Quote
but at least he'd be with Lois, and he could enjoy it vicariously through her.
Oops?

Quote
, he realised he wasn't sure if he was sure if he was supposed to tuck in his shirt or not
Depends on the belt buckle.

Quote
I've still got thirty seconds,” he could hear her call through the door, and he smiled. God, he loved her.
She’s a cute one!

So, women dress differently for grunge.

Quote
"Huh?" He'd been staring. Blatantly, rudely staring...but the bashful and slightly amused smile on her face told him she didn't exactly mind.
LOIS: guess I need to get the starter cables…

Quote
"Hey," she said, and her voice had that flirty lilt to it that drove him crazy. “You ready to go?”
Awww, you’re doing one date evening through the whole story? /Gets popcorn/
Hmmm…
/Whispers to other Sara about Lois and Clark spending a lot of parts in a single “date” in certain story.
LOIS: That was a stakeout!
