It’s time to write again. After all, TJ is going to kill me if I don’t.
I got into Reno around 4:30pm on Friday and it was like 95 degrees. We have two rental cars right now until my parents drive to Carmel on Wednesday. I’m driving a Nissan Xterra which is actually pretty sweet. Sadly, I’ll be giving it up soon.
I saw the Mailanders on Friday night. That was a good time. It was me, Jim, Caitlin, and them, and we talked for about three hours. And we ate Lydia’s cookies which were tasty. On a side note, earlier that night I had my first In-N-Out burger in four months and it was amazing.
Saturday was the best of all days so far. Mark Sexton had a giant party officially titled “Summer Phun Thyme” and it was basically a sequel to the Rocktoberfestapaloozastock that occurred last year, which I missed. We built a stage out of plywood and cinder blocks that actually looked pretty professional once finished. There were three bands lined up – The Yavin Four (obvious Star Wars reference), The Stately Gentlemen, and The Mark Sexton Band. The Gents played a few Beatles covers and some of their originals so I was able to play with them.
After the bands played, it was your typical college party, except that there was a shitload of people there and Eric Paulsen was there! That was the highlight of the night because he doesn’t usually go to parties. But I think he’s going to more often. That’ll be fun.
The night ended with Alex Vaughn driving Anthony and I back to Anthony’s apartment, but first we took a detour at Del Taco. We got six tacos each and we realized later that it was a lot of food. But we ate them all anyways. I crashed on their couch and in the morning we went back to Mark’s to finish tearing down and also to get our cars.
I want to write about last night (the brobecue) but right now I have to leave to go to Jesse’s to work on some songs. Maybe I’ll write more tonight.
