good lord the insanity of yesterday, i hadn’t done that much driving in awhile…

but yeah, the drive was long, but luckily the police decided to spice things up and pull me over, for jay not havign his seat belt all the way on, and because i was riding the yellow line cause my steering wheel has a whole lot of play. guess he thought we were drunk or stoned or something cause he had me get out of the car and grilled me about how i knew these people, and what we were goign to see, and if we had any dope. i thought he was gonna make me do sobriety tests, that would have been funny. but yeah he checked my license and shit and just let us go, he was actually allright for a state trooper.

but yeah we got there, and we sat around the parking lot and drank rum and cokes for an hour or so, i had three half and half cans so i was pretty damn good by the time we got to the will call window. ben also randomly ran into friends from puyallp, that was pretty humorous. these other people started asking us for some random ass ride too, like this candy girl didn’t wnat to pay for camping, so she wanted us to help her mover her car somewhere legal, because they didn’t allow overnight parking in the lot. imagine that. but yeah we told her that we would help her if she was around when it was over, but we weren’t goign to wait around for her. of course she wasn’t there when we came out either.

but yeah, right off the bat, digweed had cancelled, which was a bummer, and ash cancelled too, but i didn’t really give a damn about that. the avalancehes were a dissappointment, cause there was only one of them there (out of the five of them) and he was just spinning some low key house, none of their stuff got played, but oh well. diselboy ripped it up though, per usual, and its always great to dance to d&b drunk off your ass (which i was at the beginning of the concert). and then tiesto played and dan plyed. tiesto was rad, i hadn’t heard some good trance in awhile, and it was refreshing since most people just play dark house or dark tech these days. that shit ain’t for dancing as far as i’m concerned. and dan was funky as hell, out of the couple times i’ve seen him, he totally ripped it up this time, it was funky, and it was dirty, and i was dancing really hard for his whoel 3 hour set. it was really rad. i also saw lily there which was cool, we danced for a bit, and talked and whatnot.

i did go out occasionally to see teh other acts though, busta was pretty funny, when i went out there to see him he was immediatlyyelling about weed and telling everyone if they had it to smoke it. you could see a lot of puffs of smoke coming out from the main floor of the gorge, it was hilarious. i also heard form lily that he brought out a this swaddled thign that looked like a baby and pulled out a bottle of cervasze and proceeded to pass it around to the crowd, busta was pretty damn belligerent from what i could tell. saw bowie for a little bit too, i mean the guy is a legend, and its for good reason. he covered some elvis songs (along with everyone else yesterday, since it was the 25th anniversary of his death). and i listened to a few more of his songs before goign bak to see dan. moby is well…..moby, if you’ve seen him once, that’s about enough. he still put on a good show, for first timers, but it was almost exactly the same as last year….and the year before…except he didn’t play the fastest song in the world which kinda dissappointed me, cause that was a great part of his show. guess he had to make more room for smash adult contemporary hits like “we are all made of stars” riiiiiiight. walking out was pretty funny too, apparently the trojan people didn’t hand out all their condoms, so they were swarming people at the door, after i got handed like my 7th condom of the night, i was just like “not gonna use it…” at which the girl who handed it to me, and ben promptly exploded in laughter.

driving back was uneventful, but i was so sore already, and i had to drive all the way to redmond, then to wallingford, and back here, so it was 3:30 by the time we got back and i just went and passed the fuck out. it was a rad day thoguh, but now my entire backside is so sore, i mean, i’ve never come back from dancing all ngith at a rave with my neck this sore, what the hell did i do to it?

fuck, i think its time to read a bit more, my friend mike is flying in around 11:30 so we’re goign to pioneer square.

my kingdom for some greens……
