Big Update

I'm gonna do a weekend update. It's gonna be awesome. I'm not only sure, I'm HIV postive...hahahaha. Gosh, I love South Park

So, Friday I worked the Emarosa show. Not a whole lot to say really. Vanity opened and The Years Gone By played second. Other than those two, I had no interest whatsoever. You can read about what happened later that night in a previous blog.

Saturday:

I went to the Dentist. It sucked.

Later in the day I headed over to the BHS Varsity Hockey carwash. I kid you not, it was the first time I ever got my van washed since I got it over a year ago. I'm awesome like that. Afterwards I drove all the fuck over to try and find a pair of mittens/gloves. No success. My hands will have to continue to be cold. Shit.

Brian then came over and we practiced for Parker's punk rock party. It was awesome. Practice...yeah.

Parker's was fun. We played and I forgot words. I'm an idiot. Apathetic Critic spontaneously played "Cars" by Tips and I sang it with them. It was hilarious. Then we played "You don't stop". I love those guys. Dudes, if you read this, "I love you!"

After all the music shenanigans, a bonfire formed. I wasn't feeling it and really just felt like staring up at the stars. I need to do that often. I ended up in the front yard and for a while I was all alone. It was nice and I did a lot of much needed thinking. Then people started coming and ruining my silence. Major buzzkill.

So, when I was done being emo, we went and side and played guitar hero at parker's house. Then we eventually ended up at Allie's house where everyone was playing rock band. Sweet. The best part of the night was when Brian and I were playing pool by ourselves just cracking up. I'm glad we're such nerds.

Today, I went to the Modern Exchange with the band Take Notice. Really fucking funny dudes and awesome music. There was virtually no one there. Great promotion, man. They played first and then two mosh-metal bands played. The second one kept saying, "Come on you fucking faggots. Hit somebody", "Fuck shit up", "Hit your girlfriend or something," and other various phrases. Awesome, guys.

After them Ambush came on. They were fucking amazing. Before one song the guitarist said that the certain song was anti-sexism, anti-racism, and anti-homophobic and that there was no room for homophobia in the hardcore scene. Totally a middle finger right to the band that played before them.

Now I'm at the student center. Homework later tonight.

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.

SOOOO EXCITED!!
