man, what a great weekend this has been. i already explained my friday night, which was rad, but last night was really rad, and today was rad as well.

so we headed down to USC 6 around like 9:30 or something after a few minor set backs (the usual, waiting for people to get money, peopel to get ready, etc.) but we made it down there around 11 or somethign and we were kinda bummed cause we already missed bad company and ed rush and optical were already halfway through their set. but we were trying to schmooze one free ticket from a person that adam knew but wasn’t going to attend but she wasn’t on the list so that didn’t work out. so we were very grudgingly going to shell out 50 bucks a pop just so we could get in, but lily saved us outright. it was funny apprently she just had this one girl’s name and that got her a ticket for her and her friend, which also happened to be VIP. she was so rad and gave us the two tickets for 30 bucks, so we ended up only paying 80 between 3 of us, which was alot more reasonable than 150. so then when we were trying to get in, one of the security guards told chanta that she couldn’t get in with her belt because it had metal studs on it and could be used as a weapon. bah, i swear…i mean technically i could use any piece of clothing on me as a weapon. i mean my phat pants probably weigh 7 or 8 pounds, and if i took them off and twisted them i could probably hurt some ont that way. i could also take off my shirt, twist that and choke someone with it. or i could take off my shoe as well and bludgeon someone with that. i could also put my keys between my knuckles and use those as weapons. really, its pretty damn rediculous. so they had to walk back to the car and drop that off, and while i was waiting in line, some guy asked me if i wanted to make some money, so he handed me the ticket he had bought and asked me to sell it for him. it was rad, i was running around tryign to barter with people, making up stories about how i just bought it, and my friend had showed up with my free ticket so i was just trying to unload it and get in. and i managed to unload it on someone for 40 bucks, so that guy ended up giving me 10. that was pretty rad.

so i pretty much headed straight for the jungle room and looked for my friends there, cause the jungle room was kinda our rallying point, and i got there in tiem to see the last half hour of ed rush and optical, and those guys are “on the chain” to put it as MC RhymeTyme did, i thought that was a great saying. so i danced and danced and generally went nuts to jungle. and dance i did. despite my injured knee, i did a pretty damn good job schooling alot of the people there. i mean, there was some pretty good dancers there, but it seems like there were alot more when i started out. it just seemd like alot of the people there were not really as intot he dancing. they also seemed really young to me though. sigh….guess i’m just getting older. there was this one guy though who was all decked otu with glow rings all over his body, and he asked me if i had been at endfest, and i told him i had, and he was like “yeah, i remember seing this awesome dancer there, and i thought i recognized you”. that was amusing to me, seeing as that was about a year ago, but i still took it as a compliment.yeah although most of the rooms were dissappointing, it was cool to see swamp and the crystal method would have been a whole lot better if they had been playing a live set as opposed to a DJ set, but they still played some rad enoguh tracks to keep me in there for more than 10 minutes. but the jungle room ownd me, seeing ed rush, optical, diselboy, ak1200 and dara was just awesome. hearing such dark and evil jungle is great when you’re in a dirty, dark warehouse. the mc was actually good too, most of the time i think they detract from the music, but the mc’s were rad this time. they did clsoe early this time, like around a little after 5 which was kinda chus, but i still got to end my night with donald glaude, which is just kind of a tradition with exhibition center parties.

so i talked to alot of interestign people, i danced like a maniac, and i had a blast with my friends, so in the end it was very very rad. but i just found out like 10 minutes ago, that my brother had been there. dammit! i wanted to be with him for hsi first party, and i technically was, but it was way too crowded to really run into people you weren’t looking for. althoguh that did happen quite a bit, i wish it had happened with my bro…sigh….oh well, maybe next time. he told me he had a blast though, and i think that’s pretty cool.

but yeah i woke up pretty damn cracked out today, but it was beautiful out, and i layed around the sun from like 1 to 4:30 alternating between lying on my back and listening to music, and lying on my stomach and studying bio. i actually managed to accomplish all my reading, so that was cool. then mikey showed up and we went down to the samish river and mikey caught 2 minnows, it was great. taking beer with you and just shoving them in the river to get them cold is so great. i couldn’t fish with mike though cause he forgot the reel for his other rod, so i got to toy around with his for a bit, but i really need alot more practice to fly fish, i’ll get there though if i keep going with him though. it was rad, tryign to feel those damn minnows pull on the line, that is some difficult shit, i only felt them hit like twice, but it was still rad. i spent most of the rest of my time trying to name as many plants as i could and i was surprised at how many i remembered but i wished ben had been there, or i had my pojar or something, cause i got stumped on some of them and i was like “wtf? i should know this shit” but it was still rad.

so we chilled and got a little buzzed and then came home and got a nice, sluttly, papa murphey’s chicken garlic pizza. oh god, i love those pizza’s. got mangled, all my homework’s done, i’m looking forward to doign nothing tonight. i swear, sometimes my weeknds are more tiring than my week, but i’ll be goddamned if i don’t have a shitload more fun durign the weekend. wudar.
