I'm vowing to document this whole summer! So, I'll start with... Saturday!
Saturday: Hmm... got up at 11 (reasonable, reasonable) then went to my sister's dance recital where I saw Mike O'Neil! I felt his pain. Scurried on home. Went over Matt's in the anticipation of going to the Get Up Kids concert! Matt's friend Ryan from Nova Scotia came down today JUST to see the concert. What a dedicated fan. He was super friendly too! (As all we Canadians are...) Around 5, we left for the Palladium. The car ride was full of really goofy pictures of me and Kay, high hopes for the summer and awesome tunage. Got there around 6:30 and waited in line for a bit. Went inside. It was really really hot, but we managed to make it 2 hours through the opening bands who were absolutely terrible. By this time, really hot, really tired, really sort-of not feeling too well, especially since there's a huge fat guy in front of us who forget to shower the last couple years on account of he couldn't really get into the tub. THEN the fun started! The Get Up Kids came on. Madness ensues. Crowd surfing, terrible moshing, crushing ribs and slippery floors. Kayla faints. I can feel claustrophobia kicking in. Can't get out of the crowd because everyone's pushing up front. Matt carries BOTH me and kay out of the crowd. (Matt is a very skinny boy, and helpless nonetheless, so he deserves LOTS of props!) Kayla faints a total of 4 times throughout the next 10 minutes. The paramedics arrive. Figure out she has no water in her, so we get FREE WATER (what a concept). I felt like a V.I.P. After awhile outside, we go up onto the balcony. They don't end up playing Anne Arbour or Newfound Mass. Despite everything, we're oddly is really great spirits and the ride home is full of a Kid A, beautiful weather and a creepy red moon leading us home. So. There's a lesson to be learned here. If you ever want free water, just faint.
Sunday: I slept over Matt's that night, so when I woke up I hung out with Kay for a little and then headed back home. Tried out the pool for the first time this year! Went to go get Del's with Alexa, and then Matt came over and we swam again! Matt & I headed over to his house for band practice and Jay was already there so we went to Stoppies really quick. I saw Russell there! I don't think you saw me, but you seemed really sad. I wanted to rescue and take you to a place where they couldn't hurt you anymore haha. Also, I saw Robert's parents, which was sufficiently weird because I can only imagine what Robert has told them about me now that he hates me. Went back, and had a really productive practice which never really happens haha. We recorded our new song, which is really low quality, especially 'cause I have a really shitty pick-up. I think we have a show on Sunday in Boston, so you guys should come!
What's Katie doing tomorrow? Will she ever find out who stole her sub? Will she hurt them? Find out!
