"C-stone or bust...."
So...we're back from five days of camping in hot morning heat and cold late nights... It never felt SOOO GOOOD to pee or wash my hands in a public restroom. But it feelt even better to lay in my own bed last night. ahh, was in heaven. I love camping and everything, it just felt good to be at home
-I'm BURNT
-[BAD ALLERGIES] Congested from all the freakin dust
+ but BLESSED (I missed hitting a deer by a few inches...God was in that...that was definiitely the scariest moment in my life...no joke.)
[a few] Band Highlights:
Flatfoot 56 [They amazed everyone last year and did the same this year. They're seriously some of the most positive and humble guys out there. Their manager, everything. Their music kinda reminds me of the Dropkick Murphy's...kinda Irish punk w/ bagpipes]
FBS / O.C.D. split set
NIV [he said some good stuff from the stage]
Benjamin Del Shreve
All But Screaming, Kingston Falls and Kingsdon [All three of these bands are seriously going places]
Bradley Hathaway [the poet] & Project 86
When Sorrow Fails [stl hardcore], The Huntingtons farewell concert (even though I didn't catch all of their set)
seeing Staple and Spoken is always a pleasure
Downfalls:
I think my only downfalls were that LA Symphony wasn't able to make it and Blindside wasn't scheduled to play at all this year.
--------
It was definitely cool hanging out w/ Tonja, Bryant and Cassie the whole weekend. They're three of the most amazing people and I'm greatful to have them a part of my life. I definitely got to know Cassie a lot better. She's one amazing woman of God. We laughed a lot and even cried together, ha. Having a good friend like that has definitely gotta be a gift from God, ha.
Racheal, Josh, Aaron, Micah, Dorothy and the girls were there, too. It was so much fun. Micah is one crazy dude. He's SO random and cracks me up like no other. Seriously.
The last night there was a lotta fun. We basically just broke a lotta things....on eachother... Like our styrofoam coolers. Karate and WE Wrestlin' style, baybeee!!! ha...I never knew that anyone could have so much fun with that crap.
Today is Independence Day! My boss is having a cookout / pool party, so it's off to her house...
maybe I'll post pics later...
