OK so.
thursday was the last day of school!
yay!
summer!
as usual it is off to a crazy start.
a story of my mission to have a good time on my last night at school and also make it home by 7am to drive up to my brother's graduation with my parents:
so i got out of my last final thursday at 6, and i think i have like 3 hours to kill before the damone concert, so that's when i planned on packing.
unfortunately, doors were at 5:30
shit!
so ali, charlie and i rush down there and are JUST in time.
they played a rockin good show, and we got to meet them and talk with them after.
charlie asked dustin, the drummer, if they wanted to hang out after, so he gave him his phone number!
so we're all like woa charlie has dustin from damone's phone number!
cool beans.
after damone played, this INSANE band called valient thor played.
i don't even know how to describe them, possibly the craziest rock show i've ever seen.
ever.
the lead singer was jim morrison and the guy from system of a down...on acid..combined into one person.
the guy climbed to the ceiling!!!
while singing!!
and wore really tight pants!!
and had a huge gut!!
but took his shirt off anyways!!
wow they were nuts.
"we are from space, and you are from michigan!!"
alright so after that, we hung out GR for a while.
around 930 we called up dustin and he was all up for goin to a party.
so we picked up him and mike, and headed out to a party...with the drummer and guitar player from damone in the back seat!!
crazy times.
all i will say about the ensuing events is that a LOT of alcohol was consumed.
unfortunately, i was DDing because i had to drive home later that night.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
dustin was passed out in ali's lap from the absinthe on the way back.
but we just dropped them off at the hotel then drove allll the way back to campus to start packing me up to go home...
keep in mind: i have packed absolutely nothing, it's 3:30 in the morning, i have to drop ali off at her apartment, and somehow be home at 7 when my parents are planinng on leaving to drive ten hours up to michigan tech.
my roommates must think i am the craziest person.
i threw everything into trash bags and somehow fit it all in my car in about an hour.
it wasn't long before charlie puked and crashed on my mattress, so i just left him there.
then i drove ali back to her apartment, said goodbye, and got on the road.
it's quarter to 5.
driving home i was so tired, it was probably the scariest experience of my life.
but i made it and pulled up my driveway at 7:15am.
whew.
all that, just to get right back in the car and drive for ten more hours to the almost the northermost point of the UP.
weeeeee.
somehow i pulled it all off and i'm not dead.
michigan tech was fun.
my brother graduated with a degree in chemical engineering and is going to denver soon to start working for haliburton.
yay for giant corrupt oil companies who hire my brother and pay him lots of money!
after the graduation ceremony we went to this river and went fishing.
it was pretty cool, then we walked on the beach and saw these crazy old mining ruins which were crazy.
and wow that was a lot.
now i am back and i still have a lot of unpacking to do.
so i will end it there i guess.
summer is off to a crazy start.
i wonder what else is gonna happen.
