today
i ate caviar
and i felt like i was eating the ocean
allow me to explain: you know the taste you get in your mouth when a wave sucks you under and it's salty and organic and sandy and all those things? well, put that on a cracker and you got caviar
the rest of the day was hectic...my thighs hurt from taking on hundreds of stairs
got to school around 10...after walking across campus and got to the tsu and went up 2 floors...got the parking passes from marisa then walked down 2 floors to see how the sound guys were doing then up 1 floor and around to the front so i knew where the band could park then around to the back where i caught dave and walked back to the front again to show him where to park...then down 1 floor to show him where to play then up 1 floor to show him where to load in stuff then up another floor to get fliers then back down and around front again to meet the other band then down 1 floor to show them where to play then up 2 floors to get water and soda and ice and all that and to call chris and see where he was then down 2 floors to the pub to oversee what is going on then up 2 floors to get more posters and water in which i locked the keys in the room (though for an hour or so i thought i lost them) also on the to do was ordering the pizza and getting people to see the show......
but it went well overall and it gave me a nice feeling to bring a band together and friends together and to pay too much money to people who are deserving so it was worth it
and each band gave me a cd and signed my poster and andy drew some odd looking teddy bear with a penis pointed at dave's head...symbolic perhaps
then went over a senario of how to talk to my dad since we were getting together but all dad and i ended up talking about was the weather, the water (got to sink my feet into the ocean on dad's swim step on the boat) and the possibility of dad buying a house in hawaii when he retires with the money that he will get from grandma's estate (ocean side home worth a million at least)
and it's 9pm and the thought of hawaii made me feel all relaxed and then i got lost in a seedy suburban ghetto of la and had to sit in traffic for an hour on the 91 (once i found it) and i feel all tense and shit
lawd lawd get me outa this place
