Well well, I've been very busy doing fun and a little bit crazy things. I don't have the energy to really explain everything now as I am a bit sleep deprived and I get nap time after this.
Friday my jug band played on the street at Arts Walk in downtown Oly. It was awesome. We constantly had a huge crowd around us, people were dancing and if they had an instrument would come up and start playing with us. We started with eight members, but by the time we stopped playing two hours later we had fifteen. We made 38 bucks too, but split so many ways we only really got five. But thats cool, the money wasn't important at all. My right index finger was so swollen from my hardcore spoon playing, and I bruised the palm of my hand and thigh as well. We have now aquired a singing saw. I realized right when I got on the bus to go to Oly that I had forgotten my camera, so I have no pictures to show you, but we have a show on Saturday and hopefully I'll get some then.
Saturday and Sunday I stayed up all night. Saturday I don't really know why, just couldn't sleep so I took a walk at 3 am and Jesse and Adam were outside their house so I hung out with them for awhile, and then Nick and Ramsey got home and they were on acid so we hung out with them until 7 am when everyone went to sleep, but I decided to take a long walk down the roads and watch the sky change from night to day. It was so beautiful and inspiring. Sunday I went to a metal show, and ran into some car trouble on the way home. I borrowed Ryan, my roomates car, but Willie was driving because his jeep scares me. So we're coming home and get pulled over by a cop cause a headlight is out. No big deal, doesn't give us a ticket or anything, but he stopped us en route to the gas station which was about five blocks away and when we tried to start the car it wouldn't go. So I walk to the station, get a tank thingy, get gas ALL OVER myself, and teh car STILL DOESN'T START. After about an hour I finally try starting the car in neutral and it works. By the time we got home me and Willie were in no condition to sleep, so we decided to hang out and stay up all night again. We didn't do anything too excited, just talked a lot and kept switching from my house to his house. We found some cool stuff on the roof of one of the buildings that I swear are designed for people on hallucinagens. Class was a dissaster. I started hallucinating myself during an art history lecture, and just fell asleep during the second part of class.
And last night This Bike played at this house somewhere in Oly, but me and Will didn't know it started at 6 so we showed up at 9 and only got to see This Bike. It was sooooo much fun! It was the best show by far I've seen since I've gotten here, and reminded me so much of Oakland warehouse shows. I missed smelly people. Bad news is I twisted my ankle and now it really hurts. But I don't care too much.
Alright, well, time to find something to do. I hope everyones doing well!
