yeah so anyway friday... first we (me and garrett) had to get notes to leave early after 6th and have mr. mahony sign us out. but they gave us shit at first. around 4th period, we went to ask again, and were there just in time to sing happy birthday to mr. petrilak, it was pretty funny. we also found out dave's mom works at the school, which i never knew. anyway, i think she pulled some strings and let us get out early with mike's dad. it was chill. then we went to mike's, destroyed the van, waiting for derek for a long ass time, went to alto, on the way we saw the brand new 'feeny cows', we rented mike's and derek's amps, came back to mike's, dropped off his dad, went to derek's, got his shit, went to my house, picked up my bass and the beast, then off to garrett's for practice. we practiced only for a little bit but it sounded good anyway so we figured we were ready. his mom got us pizza, cuz she always gets us food, and then we panicked about garrett's bass drum, which he though was broken, but wasnt. then we packed up the drums, and left for el show. i went with mike so naturally we picked up courtney on the way. first we got there around 5:30 but there were 3 cars in the parking lot, so me and mike and courtney decided to go to cvs to pick up my pictures from the other day. mike's dad and grandma were in there. i was like "whoa, i just saw you guys", yeah anyway, i paid for the pictures and left. on my way out nichole was outside of subway and had her arm in a sling, she told me she couldnt come to the show. i felt bad about her arm, but mostly about how i blew her off because i was in a hurry, ill hafta be nice to her on monday, cuz she kicks ass. anyway i ran to the van, and off to the show, again. this time, it was about 5:45, and the parking lot was packed. we unloaded all our stuff, and wondered why the crowd was 2 emo kids, and a whole bunch of little kids. one lady kept talking to me about a towel my mom ordered but never got. i had no idea who she was. at around 6, all the little kids left, turns out it was a boy scout meeting. we were orginally going to be on 1st but derek got us on 2nd. as the show began, alot of people showed up. it was nuts. even pete, martin, and dave were there!!! me and ilyana kept talking about how hellcore we are. we went inside and wacthed the band not quite famous, they were pretty good, and really young, 12-15, i wish i started when i was 12. anyway after there set, it was feeny time. morgan told us that we took too long to set up but it was ok cuz we had no idea what we were doing, being it our first show and all. we then were ready and the show began. we played (in order) you suffer, clear sight, off to the deathcamp, bananas dont float, finite, through hell, and tourettes. we were gonna play japan four, but morgan said we didnt have enough time. it was pretty cool actually. i messed up on bass alot but i dont really think anyone even noticed. garrett fucked up a few times too but again, noone noticed really. and mike was way too low, but thats ok. i heard the pits were good but i couldnt see it at all, because people were standin in the way. during the first song someone knocked my mic down, but matt picked it up for me, and derek sang the part i obviously couldnt. derek really has good insticnts on stage, he surprised me. he got everyone into it. also in a song someone hit derek's amp, but again, matt was our trusty stage crew and fixed it. thank you matt. before finite, i did the classic blink joke "please dont listen to me for the next 2 1/2 minutes" at least people got the joke, which was good. during bananas dont float we got people singing along which was awesome. and i heard during tourettes that people were getting yelled at. carvajal, and courtney taped the show. after the set, we panicked to pack up and i blew more people off cuz i was in a hurry. and jojo even stole my 'sex list' (my pun on a set list). then we all enjoyed courtney's feeny brownies. we brought all the equipment back to mikes, and on the way almost killed a little girl, it was really funny. me, mike and courtney watched her video of the set. it was cool, but alot of it was cut off. i really wanna see carvajal's video. we came back and it was pretty chill. we watched one other band play, insult to tradition, they were ok. after that, i went outside. alot of people were asking me to sign there stomachs, it was kind of akward, but cool, at least when it was a girl. anyway after that, more very cool stuff happened, and i would just like to say that i am 100% in love with kathleen cisek. although i kinda feel like a dick making such a big deall outta it (sorry...). soon after, we left, cuz it got boring. i came home and chilled. it was a pretty cool night. saturday was ok too, no great, but ok. in the morning we had bowling, i did good 2 out of 3 games, but we still lost all 3 cuz we suck. then after me and mike went to middletown to return the amps and look for cocoa bat peeps. the guy at the dollar tree said they would get a new shipment in friday (they were sold out), so mike is gonna be awesome and go up for me even though i have work. we got mcdonalds, and wendys, cuz were pigs. on the way home we talked about this kid at bowling with the most annoying laugh ever and the kid that comes to shows who has a starring problem, but is the coolest kid ever. then i came home. got yelled at by my dad. went to work. got yelled at on my way home. came home. signed up for my road test (oct 25, 2pm), got yelled at again, and then just chilled. today i can do niothing cuz i have work right in the middle of the day. it sucks. my schedule for this week is so shitty. i have no days off, except for thursday. derek wanted to do another show on the 15th, but i dont really wanna. id rather do one a month, at the show each time. but w/e i dunno, ill do it if everyone else in the band wants to. anyway, after an awesome friday, and a decent saturday, now my week of hell begins, its gonna suck so much, i dont have anything to look forward to. its not like i can hang out with my friends. and i dont have a g/f so its not like i can look forward to that. its just the week of hell. bah. longest. entry. ever
