Laugh and the whole world laughs with you...
Well, this is hardly relevant any more. I am such a procrastonator.
Anyway, here is the action-packed conclusion to my summer.
My last days downstate involved a sweet mini-vacation down to Cleveland, OH. Why Cleveland, you ask? Well because DEVO played a show there and Erik and I decided to finally go see them since we first started listening to them the early days of high school. Tickets were $50 each, and with most of my friends not having jobs this summer, nobody was really interested in going with us. Our concert going party consisted of Erik, my cousin Daniel and I. Daniel didn't really know anything about Devo, but he wanted to go to a concert so he came along for the ride. The only thing I worry about is that Daniel had never been to a serious concert before, and Devo put on quite a show. It was truly one of the best shows I have ever been to. Mark threw bouncy balls at us, Bob1 broke all his guitar strings on the noise part of"Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA", Jerry danced around, and Bob2 looked like he was going to have a heart attack. Despite their old age, they could still rock. I don't think Daniel will ever experience a show of that magnitude again, and may be disappointed in any future concerts.
That night we met up with Mr. and Mrs. Adams and stayed at a hotel to get rested for the next days adventure: THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. It was my first time going there and I thought it was pretty cool. Daniel seemed lost and partly uninterested so I felt bad. Especially after he had to pay $20 to get in. We were there for probably about 3-4 hours then had to get back to MI, for I had to leave for school the next day and had not even started packing.
Back in Brighton, Carrie, Erik and I had our "last supper" at champs which was fantastic, and watched Sarah Brosch's last show. Then, just like that, the next morning I am driving 9 hours up to school. It still doesn't feel like school has started, just because it happened so fast. When I got up to school, we spent the week relaxing, and spent one day at the shores of
The rough black "sand" of the shore
The Breakers
Sunset
The view from the breakers
Richard Leach on the beach
Chris capturing the sunset
Richard by the entance to the canal and my camera not taking good pictures in the night
And with that, summer is over.
