as far as i'm concerned, it's still friday.

thursday was fine with the work and all, but then friday came along and then everyone had a party at my place because we just had chicken and waffles at the house of chicken and waffles at jack london square. wicked awesome food to be had by all. it was insanity.

everyone came over afterwards to finish my alcohol (no more leftover vodka nor gin nor kahlua, no more red stripes nor guinness extra stouts). we actually got knocked on by one of my neighbors at around three in the morning because we were being just a little bit boisterous, so we had to tone it down. (mind you we were watching south park, 48 hours investigates, and listening to built to spill and mae on my stereo.)

there's no cable internet at my place yet, but it will be there soon enough.

saturday woke me up with the extension calso, the last one of the summer. it was a little sad since all the counselors were being all sentimental, but it was great since we played for the pre-freshmen and they were all really, really excited.

(side note: this new blogger text interface reminds me a little too much of xanga.)

after the calso i headed the recruit tour to tellefsen hall, where we had our annual northern california barbeque. we had a nice turnout for both the band and recruits. it went over real well, considering we only had about twenty recruits but around fifty bandsmen there. hopefully next week we have the same numbers or better for our southern california excursion.

after the tiring saturday afternoon, i went to vallejo for the solano county fair to watch tower of power give a concert. the berkeley crowd (basically our entire group) were the only people there standing for the whole time; everyone else sat in between songs. it was an amazing show; their musicianship and their energy really got us pumped. a few of us were hoarse afterwards merely from singing along. (i even nearly broke jimbo when they started playing you're still a young man because i just started smacking him. i think he was afraid for his own life.)

the concert ended, and so decided to head over to nation's on san pablo and central to enjoy the ritualistic chili cheese fries and strawberry tart. can you say damn that hits the spot after an awesome hour and a half concert?

and jon swung by after his shift ended, so we got to watch a bit of the eukanuba tournament of champions dog show on animal planet before we both passed out on my futon. we even caught the south park movie on comedy central, uncut and uncensored. amazing times to hear all those curse words on the air.

i went to dim sum today at ten, and then had to give a tour at noon. i'm currently mulling over details for the upcoming weekend, basically so that i don't have anything to do for this next week.

i am so tired, but i feel great.

the summer finally began.
