whoa. first full night's sleep in 7 days, fucking awesome.
++ high fives and stagedives ++
+ all the amazing bands this week: faction, battalion of saints, discharge, voetsek, caustic christ (holy crap), municipal fucking waste (duh), stfu esp. the accused cover.
+ free shows at slims + free drinks + best bands ever = insanity.
+ super huge circle pits at giman
+ bonfire with half the gilman show a couple blocks from my house.
+ cops at the bonfire
+ party at my house after the fire.
+ jess aaron's new warehouse/show space
+ the heat at the warehouse
+ really nice people who give me rides at 2:00 in the morning even though they're way tired and cranky.
+ trouble and his lady.
+ margaritas ghetto style while walking to west oakland bart.
+ making new friends with people i've known for a while but never really talked to.
+ new band is rad.
+ mexican food and real magaritas after the trek to the city.
+ caustic christ 12"
--low fives and jock pits--
- no more than 4 hours a night of sleep for a week straight
- ex girlfriends
- walking to west oakland bart in the scorching heat on sunday, blech.
- flat broke and I just got paid.
- internet being down so I can't work and fix the above.
- computers
- feeling like a jerk for asking for money from my friends
- mom in the hospital
- moving
- missed agents of satan at gilman
- being all wasted from drinking in the sun all day, and sleep deprived, only to realize I had practice for the first time with my new band in an hour. yes. I sucked.
wish I had some time to recover, but now I have to work 50+ hours and move into a new house and play a show and be all stressed about nothing anyway and find money for smokes and get free food somehow and try not to drink for a few days (yeah right) and take care of people and write songs blah blah on and on
despite stress and deadlines things are going well, feeling pretty good in general about life. whoa did I just say that? weird.
