friday night... went to see running with scissors with ciera, also known as posh spice. crazy weird movie and crazy weird people. when i got home i packed some clothes and got ready to go up to rogersville. on saturday i got up and drove 2 hours... used a chainsaw and axe all day... drug limbs from trees with ropes and trucks... made a big pitfire... got really dirty...
then drove back to bham and got home by 9:30. that was just phase one. i went out with ashby and brett who were dressed as magnum p.i. and ali g. i didn't have time or the will to dress up.
we hung out at brett's for a while and went down to rojo and had a beer. then we walked across the street to party #1. very cool house and cool scene. a bunch of my friends magically appeared at rojo, apparently looking for me to get them into party #1. so i did. i met up with the hostess... who was a bit tispy, hung out for a few and left for party #2.
party #2 was an invite from katie and was a better party for chatting and drinking, mainly because there was still plenty of booze. met a girl from orlando and hung out with her for a while. its weird meeting floridians who are new to bham.
we got a posse together and went back to brett's then a few of us went to the plaza until 4am or something stupid.
and i had very little to drink all night.
sunday i recovered, did laundry, hung out with the moms and the grandmoms and went to workplay to see broken social scene. a lot of my friends were there, along with some famous comedians and rock stars. and wanna be hipsters. and boys with messy hair. and it was all so indie.
workplay charges 35 cents for you to print your own ticket online from your home printer. i'm getting someone on the phone. i talked jessi-co into coming out... and she did... briefly, then she disappeared again. she seemed intent on finding sarah leah... and when she didn't, she bolted. weird.
when jessi-co got there, i was at the bar ordering a drink and watching people stare at zach galifianakis... and a girl behind be walked up to get my attention... it was an old friend from last year, kristen. she used to live in tuscaloosa and has been here for 4 months. i think we went on a date around the time i turned 31. its weird when people pop up like that.
broken social scene was really good. i was impressed. i'm a fan. it was also 10.29, which is my favorite numerical day of the year.
tonight i have to catch up on some projects and tomorrow is the actual halloween thing, so i'll probably be a loser hipster and go to bottletree. and i'll check back in later.
PS: here's the poster from the show last week at bottletree. one of the best electronic shows i've seen here...
