Oh boy.

Alright, here goes an attempt to try and remember the events of my chaotic weekend.

SATURDAY

Woke up. Duh. Sat at the Rice's for a little while. Came home and we had band practice. Things are starting to shape up. I hope that trend continues. The new songs are dope and our new lineup is even doper.

Later in the afternoon Brian, Mike, Ron, Sean and I all headed out to Ann Arbor for the Swellers/WATU show. First we made a stop at Qdoba. I knew the day was going to be great when I went to pay and found out that my burrito was free. YES! Then some stuff went down outside Qdoba that I'm not going to talk about...

We got to the show and found out that two of the bands had cancelled. Oh well, the three that we wanted to see were still playing. Take Notice was first and they were ok. Way better on recordings, but they're a new band and I think they show a lot of potential. Swellers were up next. They were pretty much the same as they always are. They still don't have the stage presence like they used to which is the biggest bummer to me. I think they made up for it with their new song, though. It was very Polar Bear Club-esque. I dug it.

We Are The Union came on last. This is the second time I've seen them upstage The Swellers on a show that they played together. They are getting ridiculously good. So much energy and everything is spot on. Vocally, all 4 of them that sing are stronger than ever. They said that they were taking time off to write. I am excited.

After the show we got Jimmy John's and went back to my apartment. I was super tired so I ended up falling asleep on the floor while we were watching BASEketball. Sweet, we're staying at my place and I end up sleeping on the floor. haha.

SUNDAY

Sean, Brian, Ron and I woke up gradually and ended up watching about three hours of the show Cash Cab at my apartment. Some of the people on that show were sooooooooooooooooo stupid.

We went back to my house and practiced for a little bit before Ron and I had to go to the show. Saints and Solidarity were playing at the HPAC and I was excited. I set up the lights and hung out before everyone showed up. Pretty typical day. All my brighton friends started showing up and it was nice to see people that I don't get to see often enough.

The show was sick. Wes killed it. I am so happy for/proud of him. I could just tell how much fun that he was having. He's in an awesome bands with a bunch of awesome dudes. It was weird watching him play though. It was the first time EVER that I have done that. haha.

Solidarity was awesome too. I bought their CD. It's dope fly. I like getting more music like that. I can only listen to Comeback Kid for so long without it getting too repetitive.

Anyways, after the show I went with Saints and Solidarity to BDUBS. They're all really funny dudes. Nothing topped when I told Avery that Max (Saints) was talking crap about him. I was completely joking, but Avery thought I was being serious. So Avery texted me and asked if Max was really talking crap about him. Little did Avery know that when he sent that text Max was looking at my phone and opened that text. I laughed super hard and had to explain what was going on.

We went back to Wes' house after and watched some youtube videos and the bands were wayyyyyyyyyyy into these animal books Wes had in his basement. haha. When all the bands went to sleep Wes, Ryan, and I went up to Wes' room where we hung out and talked for a while. I stayed up way too late, but it was worth it.

Heroes season premier tonight.
