I went to Dirtfest today. I was looking for Michael, but I couldn't find him anywhere! I was about to give up hope of finding a friend when Gretchen attacked me from behind while I was watching The Junior Varsity, and after that everything was dandy.
We watched Houston Calls, Quietdrive, The Spill Canvas, and assorted other bands, and observed the marked difference between the HXC section of the show and the happy-scene section. It was a splendid time.
Gretchen was solicited by the drummer of Self Against City, so we chatted with that band for a while. Everyone enjoyed themselves.... I also struck up a conversation with the colorful Oriental keyboard player of Houston Calls. I (in the Alex and Sam fashion) asked him what he would do if he weren't a musician. He replied that he would either be a history teacher or (GET READY, SAM AND ALEX) A CHEF. He honestly said that. But anyway, he has a four-year degree in East Asian history from Tufts University. Cool. Then I bought a shirt that says, "Let's Dancing!"
What a dayyyy. :D
