Upcoming Events from back then:
June 10, 2008: The Breeders at Webster Hall, after a nearly 6 year absence the Breeders return!
June 14, 2008: The National, Modest Mouse, and REM play Jones Beach - what a bill! (said in Yaakov(sp?) Smirnoff voice) Only bad thing I can think of is that they don't sell alcohol inside Nikon presents Jones Beach theater, or whatever they're calling it these daze (yes, I went there)
Hello there mawky mawk and the funky bunches, time for one of the annual updates to the Temple. Since last time you have read me (a living website!?!?) the 5k took place, I saw Explosions in the sky, and tokyo police club. This is the story of those 3 events.
5k - good stuff, I secured a clock for it and water for the runners, it was a successful event with bbq afterwards. Not much else I can tell you, the winner ran it in like 21 minutes, I would have crushed that when I was in High School, now, ehhh not so much :( Oh well, some cultures consider being fat a sign of wealth, so I guess I would be like upper middle class in one of those societies, 400 pound guys would be king. Next on the docket...
Explosions in the sky, put on another good show, getting kind of bored of them, seems like the same show every time, and it seemed short. Crazy donkey was oversold methinks, it was packed in there, so I dunno. Me, Bernie, Brian, Michelle, and last (but not least!) Caitlin went, a good crew, and we saw Olson and Gorman there (say their names Ol-Son and Gor-mon and they sound like guys from Krypton) anyway, all there is to that. Next!
Tokyo Police Club, now here was a whopper of a night, Caitlin and I drank on the way there, I sold an extra ticket I had to a girl through Craig's List, and she showed us this bar with $3 tap drinks so we drank a bunch there. We got to the show and TPC played well, but the crowd just didn't seem that in to it, so I felt I had to let them know they are appreciated. Dear Mama, you are appreciated. Anyway, so I started to work my way up to the front. This one kid had a backpack on, I was like "oh man, I can't get past this giant backpack" I thought it was funny, but wtf? Why are you wearing a backpack in the audience of a show? At least put it on the floor by your feet. Freakoid! Then this other kid, I kept trying to go in front of him on his sides, and he wouldn't let me, so he turns to me and says like what are you trying to do? where are you going to go? So I said well if it doesn't matter, just let me in front of you. He refused. I ended up in front of him somehow, and shot him a smile but he didn't see it. Then I was talking to what I think was a mom and her daughter, the mom seemed vaguely intrigued by me, I guess she wasn't really a fan of the music and my drunken self was more entertaining. I think I told them they should dance, or jump on stage, not entirely sure. The girl didn't seem amused by me though. Can't win 'em all. Then I got to the very front! I told the guy next to me to jump on stage, he said no, so I said fine I will. Now watch this Video Here and at about 1:51, you see yours truly. Fanfictitious!
Summer is near, hot dogs and beer. Baseball too, get a clue!
Q: Who is cooler, me or you? A: Me. ;)
So my mom loves that commercial where the guy is driving a jeep and the animals sing rock me gently and the wolf eats the bird and then spits it out, I told her, I said, I was like "i'm not really a fan" Sometimes people agree to disagree.
Whaddup wuttup boner busters, check it out, website for that 5K I am actively working to put on St. John's 5K Is the 5k owned by St. John!?!?! Hardy har har, he was decapitated because he was a badass and the queen was all worried so she was like bring me the head of St. John. Not actually sure if the school was named after that St. John or a different one, one day I hope to be remembered as St. Chris. There already is one, though I think he was recently stripped of his sainthood, perhaps I fill the void? Aye yay yay.
