So we snuck in the back door of the Carrboro chapel hill unc whatever dining hall. food was good i had some fajitas with rice black beans green peppers onions and... pasta? it was pretty good anyway. i also indulged in a huge plate of french fries and a big salad. the grand total was... $0! what a deal! we saved 100% of money on the food! after eating there we visited a collective house called the hillsboro road co-op. they collect rainwater! i was so excited to see it. they also had a beautiful garden and their house smelled like vegan group house. it ruled. after that we headed out for richmond VA (current location). we drove around the city for goddamn hours before finding my friends at the dollhouse. we went to an albatross and my friend john from dc's band called mass movement of the moth (i believe?). they were really good and i liked watching them play. the guitarist was a longhair and rocked it out metal style and the keyboardist was outta control screaming and hitting his keyboard. john played drums pretty calmly most of the time and all those together made for interesting stage presence. an albatross was fucking amazing and we danced hard and after it was over i felt like i was going to explode or have a heart attack or something. their music is so overwhelming and intense. after it was over i was rockin the natural high and loving it. now i'm back at the dollhouse, where i will sleep tonight before heading to dc tomorrow. in dc we get to see defiance ohio, ghost mice, kathy cashel, los gatos negros, and spoonboy. i am super excited.

now for some pre-leaving news. i got to see my amazing friend genna and we ate amazing chinese food and then i gave her a super mini tour of buford, GA. she rules so much. she is the only reason i want to move to atlanta besides the amazing graffiti and the fact that it's the closest city to where i was raised. before that happened though i got to rock out the punk haircut. got bleached sides black hawk and i like it a lot. well i guess that's about all the news that's going in here!

one last thing. last night i stayed at this house in carrboro and next to their free box was this amazing children's guitar that is exactly like a regular accoustic guitar but like half the size. it was so cool but i forgot to ask for it/ ask to pay for it. oh well.
