Tweet! So I posted friday when I was bored... the night proved to be more interesting. Picked everyone up and headed out to sioux city to pick up that one girl... I think sarah is her name. Yeah... she's the one. So we all get in our respective cars and head out to Omaha for the haste the day/ showbread!!!! show. There were other bands... but I'm still using the I'm new excuse and didn't know any of them. I tried to stay behind david but I just couldn't handle the speed. I trusted the people in my car enough to get me to the venue. Well I think my going 80 most of the way was a bit hard on my car. On I-80 in rush hour traffic, my car decided it wanted to take a crap. Not literally of course. That would be weird. So I'm laughing, cuz I find stupid things funny. I probably should have been more concerned than I was. Oh well. Anyway... we were level for a while and the car lurched but ran. Then downhill a bit, so that was fine. Then came our exit... it was uphill. My car hates me so it rebelled at the best possible time. We got it pulled over without incident and all stood there. Triple A was called and sarah and I were left to watch the car. Jon, Tiff, and Kim went with Tiff's internet buddy Jake.
BREAK! there didn't need to be a break. I'm still on the same story. So what. So sarah and I stand by the interstate and watch no less than 3 police cars drive past us. I did a bit of yelling that was completely appropriate. I don't yell. I've now lost all hope in humanity. Granted, we didn't really look like we were in distress. I might have been doing some jumping and making of faces. Who knows.
So the tow truck dude gets there and libby supervises... yeah, I know what I'm doing. He loads the thing and libby finagles a ride to the venue. I'm just that good. I love changing tenses. Keep up.
So yeah... we get there and head inside. I thought the crowd was going to be insane but it turns out there were two shows. First band was bad bad bad. At least to me. Showbread was as good as I could have hoped and then some. Got to watch from the side... worked out well. After that we tried to figure out how everyone was getting home. Some of us were hungry so tiff kim me and jake went out to eat. I assumed we'd be heading to somewhere close and fast. HA, libby should know better than to assume. We headed 15 miles across town to the slowest place on earth... and the waiter was a bit off. So I had an 8 dollar burger... and I missed everything after showbread. Wasn't too happy, but got to be annoying to everyone in the car on the way back to the show. so i enjoyed myself. The words "Libby likes it rough and hard on the table" might have left my mouth. Who talks like that?
So we get back to the Ranch Bowl placy thinger and pile into the van. I found out the dancing got kind of wild and there was also some stalking going on (and I vowed to never leave a show again). I was perfectly content to be smushed together side by side, but I was soon informed that I would have to sit on someone's lap... you'll never guess. Yup... I sat on Jon's lap... I'm not heavy at all. Half way through we switched and he sat on my lap.. The whole experience was more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be ;) What?! yeah... There was also some drunk/sleeping dude driving ahead of us... interesting stuff. I do believe 911 was called. Good going david.
Kim, Tiff, Me, Jon, and Lindsey were all going to be stranded in sioux city. Jon called his mom and we all piled into the jeep. Your mom is so cool. I think I like her a lot. Yeah... I do. Got home... talked with sarah till 4. Went to bed. Got up and it was saturday.
Saturday... don't remember saturDAY but in the evening there was a show in jefferson again. Man, I just don't feel like talking about the whole thing.. you guys were all there... imagine it from a little bit shorter perspective and you've got it. Perkins was invaded after the show and there was some bluntness going on from ryan... but I liked it. That kid is cool. Left perkins only to head back and pick up the wee one. Went to sarahs and waited for her in the back seat... uh... listened to monty python on the way home.
Today (sunday) graduation. Got gifts all wrapped and ready. Left for graduation insanely early because I was told it would be packed. Well it was packed but not till later. I felt dumb. Not because I was there early. I just felt dumb. So we sat there... I read Chomsky because i could. I like the man better now. I'm not nearly as conservative as I like to come off. David showed up.. He came and sat by us. Ryan refused to come sit by us... nerd. We left and stood outside for a bit before heading to the wee one's house. Got there before him and stood around drinking punch. good punch. Tried to get ryan to debate but he wasn't having it. next time. next time. Met some people, talked to a couple. Left. Picked up kim.. took sarah home... dropped off kim... now here I sit.
there was some random spinning, climbing, finger fencing, bird watching, and helipcoter throwing in there as well, but you'll piece it all together. Bye.
