I've had a good couple of days, I think.
On Friday, I waited waited waited. I had my eye appointment, and then spent the rest of the day pretty antsy. I wanted to go see some ska! Eight finally rolled around, and I met up with Calvin at Safeway when he got off of work. It was a little awkward, actually. I went upstairs with him, and when we were walking by the deli, one of the girls working their called out "Heyyy, Calvin! Is that your giiirlfriiiend?" Ha, he just said no and we both ran upstairs. It's not the first time someone's asked that. I think most of the time it happens at Safeway, actually.
Anyway, he got his paycheck, we grabbed Tera and booked it to Seattle, and we didn't get lost this time! I rediscovered my hate for giving directions from the backseat, though.
Get Down Moses was awesome, though some of the kids in the crowd were really really disrespectful. But Easy Street was pretty packed. I have a Get Down Moses button now. :D
Rude Tuna was up next, and I guess it was thier first show. And then we found out where all the disrespectful kids came from. They were all kids that go to school with the guys from Rude Tuna, and we were pretty sure they'd never been to a show before. A couple of them tried to start a fight. And Calvin complained a little that none of them knew how to skank and just stood around looking confused. "They don't really understand the concept of a circle." Well, except for Dreadlock boy.
When Rude Tuna finished their set, most of the stupid high schoolers left, leaving the kids who actually came to see some good ska. And the Diablotones were amazing! I'm kinda dissappointed that we had to leave a few songs into their set, but we had to get Tera home by midnight.
....
Except Calvin's Jeep did not want to start for us. That poor little red car. We finally flagged someone down to jumpstart the car, and I had to talk Tera out of yelling at the man for charging Calvin. It is really stupid that a grown man would charge a stranded teenager money to jumpstart his car. But we finally got moving, didn't get lost this time leaving Seattle (like we did last week, we decided Sonya was our bad luck. <3 Even though we love her.)
Yesterday was an early morning, though. Rehearsal was okay, but it didn't seem all that productive because we had a few people missing. I went to Ladro three times yesterday! Once for every shift, haha! Saw Drew and Annie in the morning, Jared in the afternoon, and then I decided to come back after my meeting to see Sima. <3 I missed that girl. She's so adorable!
Calvin finally showed at Ladro, and we went and wandered around the mall. We snagged Ashlyn a little later and went down to Richmond Beach. It was kinda nice getting to sit there on the beach in the dark and just smoke and talk. Oh, and sing. Haha, I miss singing with that beautiful girl.
We finally decided to venture forth for food, so we hiked up that big ass hill from the beach and hopped in the car and went to Beth's! I miss Beth's cafe, and I'm really glad we went last night. Calvin and I annoyed Ashlyn with our 'silent conversations', which I thought was hilarious.
We took Ashlyn home, and I saw Cole! And got hugs! It was awesome, I miss that kid too. And I worry about him. I really miss our talks in Play Pro last year. :( Nostalgia, sad stuff.
Calvin and I decided we didn't want to go home, so we went and got bubble tea and just sat and talked until we both realized we were tired and wanted to sleep.
That's what my last two days were like. Today I kinda just get to veg until NET tonight. And Vespers after. Hopefully we won't fuck up as badly as we did this last time. I hate how music team has just been crashing and burning this year.
I think I'm going to watch Robin Hood Men In Tights, and then maybe do something productive. Maybe.
