Yesterday there was a show at Jesska Ornstein's house across the river in the richer side of town. I need to get the scanner figured out and then I'll be able to illustrate these things with saucy maps and illustrations as well as pictures.
Anyway so I went there from work. As soon as I got there I saw Croat and MtHH hanging out in front. While talking to them some members of Robin Kivlin's band (Jack Bighead) scuttled past. Inside a band was playing, the bassist had a dropkick murphys shirt, and the vocalist was wearing a UC Davis shirt (the dark blue with block letters one my friends ask me if I made myself). Shortly I encountered Robin Kivlin himself, Jessika Powell (eatrice), Lauren Boswell, Knobs (
ambiguouscase), and Jesska's awesome brother Mikey. There are probably others who I'm forgetting and who will now levy unending hatred upon me. Also I met Croat's new lover, Ryan.

So yesterday I innocently head down to Diedrichs, having not actually been there in a few days and been merely antisocial; the people whom I've had plans with in the days previous having all flaked and fuchforth.
So I intended merely to get a cup of coffee but ended up stayed there all afternoon with the dozen plus regulars lurking there. It was cool, I think I bonded with Laney and Dera, whom I don't know very well. Also present were: Katie D'agistino, Alyssa, Jesska Ornstein, Boswell, Christopher Robins and the guy in the Flogging Molly shirt.
Then at like I dunno 21:00 or so we all decided to go to a spa somewhere.. this is like hella people so it would have been intereting if I'd actually gotten there. However, I did not.
"Where is this spa?" says I
"Just call one of our cells when you get to the corner of Marguerite and Alicia" says one of them
Only one problem. They were all in the spa. None of them had their cell phones on them by the time I was out there. Psha on that.
UPCOMING SHOWS (that I intend to go to)
Today - Bullets N Octane, Plain White Ts, Rudiger - at Chain Reaction - Oh hell yea. I was planning on checking the Plain White Ts website next in my search for shows. and Bullets N Octane? Definitely for awesome. I am SO there.
07/05 - La Banda Skalavera - at Chain Reaction
07/12 - Ultimate Fakebook - at Chain Reaction
07/20 - The Israelites - at Chain Reaction - and "Skattish (bagpipes ska from Arizona)" according to the website. I gotta see that!
08/03 - Bullets N Octane, Nural, Locale AM - Chain Reaction - Why does BNO always play with several other bands I love? I certainly am not complaining!
08/05 - Limbeck - Chain Reaction
08/30 - New Amsterdams - Chain Reaction - I am SO there.
As you can prolly tell all I did was check the listing at Chain Reaction. Most of the shows I go to are there.. but if you know of something for awesome elsewhere definitely drop me a line.. or if something for awesome is playing at Chain that I am not yet familiar with... Or if you want to go with me to one of the shows even.
I was there for five days straight once last summer. I wish I could get like a season pass to Chain...
Oh and if you want to see me with my full sideburns you need to go tonight to the show.. cause I have to shave them off for work tomarrow )=
Firstly, I went to TACO LOCO today with Shasta. Mmmm I had my usual calamari burger. ::drool:: soogood.
Then I made some attempts to contact Jenelle Bel Isle, for whom I no longer had a current phone number. In so doing I called Bryant Conger to no avail, and found Katie D'Agistino's number to be no longer valid either. I then proceeded once again went to Diedrichs off La Paz just to see who I might find there.
Upon arriving I immediately found Katie D'Agistino there. I'd hoped to find Alyssa working there one of these times but apparently she quit, so I tried calling her, and just as I did so, SHE showed up. Craziness. Jesska Ornstein also showed up. And then.. who should show up but Jenelle Bel Isle herself. And then, since SHE had Bryant's cell number, we called HIM. Diedrichs is the place to be.
I also briefly met Katie's friend Shalane.
Anyway, then Jenelle and I traipsed over to her place to "play scrabble" if you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, I mean I got violated. If you still don't know, I mean we literally played scrabble and I got the first parking violation in my life.
Good thing I happen to know the definition of "quaff" ("to drink heartily") by heart hehe.
And then there was....
GODLITE
So my seven letters in the game happened to spell "godlite," and we thought that was so funny we decided to put it on the board.
Then I pick seven new letters right? So I randomly pick G O D L I T E. TWICE IN A ROW. Someone with too much free time calculate the odds of that happening. Frankly I'm kinda freaked out.
I am SO back in Orange County now.

I'm still adjusting to getting back.. tonight I didn't try very hard to find something to do and ended up back home at like 11pm. I just went to the local coffee shop, Diedrichs off La Paz, where there was only one person I knew. Then I discovered everyone was at Mikey's (Jesska's younger brother) gradumatation party. So I went there, and there I found Liz, Jessika, Jesska, Mikey, (Lauren) Boswell, Robin, Robin's-Friends/Bandmates-Whose-Names-I-Can-Never-Remember. Then with epic style I spilled soda on myself saying goodbye to Robin and went home and sulked. Well okay actually I came home and played Age of Empires I admit it.
I actually compelled my MOTHER to create a nation at nationstates.net, so she created The Oppressed Peoples of Intersticial Space. I helped her make the following flag, based on the flag of Malawi:
