   So I got there at 9am, earlier than I've been on campus for months, to help with load in. Not knowing what plugs into what and where things go makes helping difficult, but I did my best and plugged in some monitors.. then we put up barricades.. then I had to go tour a winery at 10:30.
   The entertainment council had scheduled us so there were at least four of us in freeborn hall at all times, so my next shift was from 12:00 to 1:30, during which time none of us did anything because there wasn't anything to do.
   We weren't particularly excited about the opening band (I never learned who they even were) so a few of us took advantage of our special ability to go in and out of the venue to go get icecream from the COHO.
   Then I'm sitting in the lobby with two volunteers whose names I don't know, and the guy sees someone come out of the staff rooms with a cup of water. Deciding he wants a cup of water he goes over there to inquire about water and gets sent somewhere else. Then I says to the other "you can get whatever you want from the staff room if you just look like you know what you're doing. For example, I'm going to get some coffee from them," and I proceeded to go in and steal some of their coffee. Meeting up with Arya and Vanessa after that, they asked where I got the coffee and I explained it to them. A minute later they come back with sodas and I'm like "you got sodas from the staff room??" and Arya was like "haha we one upped you." I was about to mount a further raid to one up them, but Pixies came on.

   Pixies are excellent.

   Helped evacuate the opening band's stuff from the stage before the Pixies came on, distributed Shins flyers to people trying to escape after the show, helped with load out after the show. Arya and Yadira ([livejournal.com profile] porcelain999) helped a bit with load out too, but they soon disappeared.
   Head sound guy asked if I was working the coachella show. Then he joked "can we request you?" Head of the freeborn staff: "if you ever want to work for freeborn..." me: "you have open positions?" staff member: "we could make one for you." I think the promoter said something nice too.
   I don't know about working for freeborn; the one thing that wild rivers taught me more than anything else is that while hard work may impress people not expecting it, as an employee you'll be constantly overshadowed by people that work less hard and shmooze the higher ups constantly. One of their employees had a small mohawk though, so I think I could keep mine.

   Then I walked home. It took 45 minutes but I thoroughly enjoyed the night and the solitude.

   And saw two cops that actually looked young to me and I was like "wow I'm getting old."

PS: Tickets to this pixies show sold on ebay for like $500!

Thursday
   Stopped by The Table in the MU, where five people were at the time sitting. The two I didn't know turned out to be [livejournal.com profile] blueliquid13 and [livejournal.com profile] sivart13, two of the others were [livejournal.com profile] blushbystander and [livejournal.com profile] pavelthegeek, the remaining person was my friend Yadira. Though I'd never had the slightest incling that she may have an lj, seeing her present company I asked, and indeed she is [livejournal.com profile] porcelain999.

   Then I went to the barbershop in the basement to get the sides of my head shaved.


Friday
   It was my Uncle Ben's birthday so we had dinner at their place on J Street. And by "we" I mean Kristy and I. Kristy was terrified at first, but she survived. The food was sooooooo goooood omg. It was like.. the second best food I've had all week. It was like.. this thai food. With tofu.. yes I even liked the tofu it was that good.
   Pictures were taken of the Kristy and I. I haven't seen them as of yet but they should be available very soon.


Saturday - Valentine's Day
   So Kristy and I went to the Farmer's Market in the morning. This of course prompted me to retell my favorite Lame Story, about waking up in a frat house and going outside to find a farmers market raging outside. While there we ran into Kristy's italian teacher, and city council candidate Lamar Heystek. We also bought a half gallon of delicious apple cider before moving on to Baker's Square for breakfast.

   That evening we had a candle-lit dinner at Kristy's place. The dinner was a surprise for me, and it turned out to be "fire-cracker pork fusilli" Kristy had gotten from Fuzios. This is my all-time most ultimate food ever omg just thinking about it mmmmm... Kwisty also made garlic-bruschetta appetizers and tiramisu. It was all so so so so good omg. Sensory overload.
   Unfortunately last time Kristy had wine, [livejournal.com profile] slosha got her trashed on tiquela, and Kristy subsequently developed an aversion to wine. After unsuccessfully trying to enjoy the wine at dinner she made light of this. I offered to make her a drink with vodka or peppermint snapps or something. She thought for a minute and asked for steel reserve. I was soo proud. (=

   And then Courtbutt came pounding on the door and a ringing the door-bell. No romantic valentines day dinner is complete without that.

   Yes, that is the first conversation Kristy and I ever had. Apparently I had recently forgotten I didn't know her and waved to her in the MU.

   Kristy's entry on the same
   My entry from a year ago
         It just occured to me that in keeping with v-day tradition, I did in fact wear all-black THIS time as well. Black dickies, black docs, black braces (suspenders), black collared shirt, black tie...


No picture today, I'm in a hurry.
