so i saw hot rod circuit and mae and snake cross crown last night. my whole mission to attend this show revolved around seeing mark again. then i ended up shooting photos for hot rod & doing photos of mae for work. the highlight of my evening was when i got to see mark play, and i couldn't be more proud of him and that band. it's one thing to be happy for one of your best friends, but to really feel proud of someone -- thats amazing.
you know how you get excited to see someone you haven't seen in quite some time, and you have this buildup of 'omfg!!!!111111!!!!!!!1'. and then when you finally see them where you can talk to them, there is this constant exchange of some of the best hugs you've ever fucking had in your life. for the short amount of time you get to spend together, there is an awful lot of remininscing about the old days, an awful lot of 'i've missed you, how is your mom,' and serious heartfelt inquiries of each's personal wellbeing, not to mention the sharing of the i love you's & i'm so proud of you's. only when you're convinced that you're both OK & surviving your lives, you promise to keep in touch better than in the past and to never let so much time pass. and while all this goodbye-ing is happening, you're (again) realizing what a tremendously good person this friend is & how much you value them & what they bring into your life. and you get to do it again in a month and a half. but you can't wait.
i miss all of y'all that i don't get to see or talk to that often anymore. linzey & kelly -- my gals! i love you both oodles, and i miss you to pieces. tod lewis, you piss me off, but you're still for whatever reason always my buddy that i've much love for. mark, you are truly one of my best friends, even though you live on the other coast i know that we're just as close as if you lived nextdoor. michael, you know what's up. matthew, you've been one of my best friends since the 6th grade, and i love you very much & we must hang out over a brew, asap.
and of course, brian you're not included b/c i miss you everyday like i'd miss my leg if it fell off.
