Tour Day 10
I had a couple of dreams that literally scared me awake. And I also had a pleasant portion. At least they got me up in time for breakfast. -
Tour Day 9
Today wasn't awkward at all. *eye roll*
Mainly our lovely crowd of 20 people filling up the teeny tiny theatre that could probably seat 200. Or to finish tuning and then sitting there as the First Sergeant who had the mic wasn't around. I think I twiddled my thumbs for at least 2 minutes. Maybe more. Or our commander asking the crowd if they ( Read more... ) -
Tour Day 8
Today was our day off. I expected a relaxing and eventless day. I got up for breakfast (at 9), ate breakfast, Joe Staunchfield joined me. Hung out in the room (a little Photoshopping, a weird CI trip with Aby) then went downstairs to get myself some tea. Ran into Joe again, who asked, "do you know who Miyazaki is?" "Yes." "Do you want to see ( Read more... ) -
Tour Day 7
Today is my third day in Bend, on the bus about to depart for our first concert from this hub. Friday was purely a transportation day for the marching band (the jazz band stayed in Baker City for an extra night to perform a couple gigs). I imagined the drive from Baker City to Bend would be hell in the van, but it actually wasn't that bad. It ( Read more... ) -
Tour Day 4
I got up for volleyball. Turns out, someone forgot to buy the volleyball last night. Also, the field with the net had a lot of mosquitos even at 9am. So I followed Johnny V. to the pool. Surprised us both by ending up swimming, especially since I didn't have a suit. I did swim with clothes on though. Also had breakfast with Johnny V. and ( Read more... ) -
Tour Day 3
Heh, terrible of me not to update. Last night, we performed in Pendleton. Tonight we performed in Ontario. Last night, we performed an encore piece due to the crowd's enthusiasm. Tonight, we performed the encore piece, and then the crowd demanded one more. I think tonight's concert went pretty well compared to the last two. It seemed we were ( Read more... ) -
AT Day 1
Ah, bummer, it's gotten a little late and I don't feel like typing much. Quite frankly, I'm ready for bed. I just wanted to say that my personal performance tonight was crap. But the overall day went better than the first day of tour last year. I think having some recovery time from the long drive off the moving bus (nearly an hour) before ( Read more... ) -
Life in the Lab
I didn't think this would be particularly notable. It's a lot more notable than my time at home, if that's any indication why I haven't updated much this past year. Then again, it's more like, most of my life over the past year I didn't find particularly notable, except the part that I consider too personal for livejournal. Imagine that. But I ( Read more... ) -
At the Beginning
I finally started college this month. It's funny, right? I was supposed to be finished with college a couple months ago and only now do I feel like I've finally started. I'm declaring a double major, going into Fisheries and Wildlife. The advising staff seem excited to have me coming in, this major seems a much better fit than zoology, and ( Read more... ) -
Eugene for a day
Yesterday was rather fun and packed full of stuff. I just wish I had made myself get more than 3 hours of sleep the night before. I went to Eugene yesterday for Jimmy's thesis defense. His mom and dad were there, and it was nice seeing Jim again. That was at 11. We hung out while we waited for his feedback and then went to lunch at McMenamin's ( Read more... )
