it's been a weird week. i'm having a hard time motivating myself to work on the million things i know i need to do. friday we playing the florida music festival at backbooth, we played first, which was fine with me, getting a good soundcheck and not having to rush our stuff is something i miss, playing first is awesome as long as you dont mind less people seeing you, and with this show, it was crowded in the place by the time we went on, and after a couple more bands it was almost impossible to get around at all. after 4 or 5 of the bands we decided to split, the whole day jason and i had to wear baseball caps on a dare set by jason, but on a second part of the fmf dares, we had to ride home with no shirts on, while still wearing the baseball hats. jason wants to do a tour where we wear no shirts or shoes the whole time. saturday, i took rachel to the airport, she's going to be gone all week. it's good because i can get a lot of this crap done i need to get done before we leave in june, but it's bad cause when she's not around i dont eat, i drink too much soda, end up feeling like crap like i do now, and end up doing nothing with my little bit of free time. later on saturday i drove up to st. augustine to watch derik get married. it was my first wedding i've ever been to, and i wasnt really expecting my first one to be one of my best friends. i've known derik for 13 years or something now, we have been super-close at times, and other times we hardly see each other, luckily since he moved out of 222 i have let him do his thing, so it's a little easier to think of derik getting married and moving to nyc.
