Skater Pants and Sixties Suits
So my last real update was a week ago. I feel like ive been running in a low gear for the week. and you know what? its been sweet.
monday evening my dad and i went to the lions club dinner because i was being honored for my accomplishments (of some sort). So there were six of us: Sarah Nickerson, Vanessa Colesworthy, Thomas Damon, Lynne Stillings (<3), Lawrence "Renn" Barnicle, and myself. We had to sit infront of the lions club at the head table facing everyone as we ate. Then one of the head dudes put us on pedistals (a figure of speach, you dumbass) and listed off our many accomplisments and such that helped us get chosen for this award. it was funny, i noticed the first half of the table was all science students who went to all sorts of fairs and won all these crazy awards for these amazing projects. the other half were community service kids who spent hours and hours helping the environment and their societies (like me i guess). I guess the reason why i was chosen over mark, greg, and dan was because of working all the freakin' time at the camp. i do seem to work alot. speaking of work, i mentioned on my resumé to the lions club when the told me that i was being honored that i work at regal, and when the guy read that to the rest of the club, he stopped for a second and told me that i was awful for my outrageous prices. gee thanks for honoring me and then insulting me. wow that was a first i guess. then after we were all presented to everyone, they gave us these enormous dictionaries. then we went home.
on the way home, i stopped by the legendary andy levandoski's house to pick up the shirt that he picked me up at berklee to pay me back for the shirt i bought him at the reel big fish show. its a sweet shirt. very nice, thanks andy for picking it up for me and john for picking it out. i love it. its nice to have a shirt for my college. yay.
it seems that tuesday and wednesday were uneventful since i cant think of what happened on those days. ehh... meh... ehh...
thursday i went to portland to get my tux for prom. its nice. i got a 50's style zoot suit with a kickass tie and a belt chain! im stoked. rhea better get a nice period dress as well so we look kickass. oh yeah rhea and i will be going together. thanks for saving my sr prom, babe.
Friday i got together with morgan, john, greg, and sky and jammed in preparation for saturday's Safe Passage fund raiser coffee house. it went well. first i picked up carey and headed to morg's house to meet up with the rest of the group. we then drove around portland for an hour trying to find waynfleet. carey morgan and i lost john and greg, we trekked around the west end alone for the longest time. then we finally found the school and unloaded all of our stuff and went in and played after watching the other bands. the first one we saw was this jamaican style reggae jam band who werent bad at all. props to them boys. the next wasnt too impressive at all. nothing too different from the rest of the boring garage cover bands ive seen in all the other coffee houses. then there was this girl on violin and a dude on piano who did this jazz/orchestral improv thing. it was good. then we played. we did pretty well. i believe that morgan will take the audio from the video carey took of us and put it on our myspace account (uncontrolable giggling because were not a real band like that hahaha). its Aural Pleasure if you wanna check it out. morgan made up the name. hes a doofus. i wanted it to be "Julius Caeser and the Angry Senators"
thats bout it.
