BACK TO CALI.



more to come.

end of the line.

back in PA.

didnt sleep for two days straight.

exhausted.

casualties include six bottles of faygo and countless cans of soda, several feet worth of subway sandwiches, and a couple hundred dollars. i bought sixteen shirts at sound and fury and met dozens of awesome people.

i really dont know what else to write.


peace.

last day/goodbye cali.

today was the last day of sound and fury. it was pretty rad. warpriest were awesome, as were soul control, mother of mercy, and the mongoloids. sinking ships last show was seriously out of control. some of the craziest stage diving ive seen in a long, long time. ceremony was ridiculous.

last night, super late, ki-seok and preston crashed at our place. two totally good dudes. we stayed up late talking about korean cinema.

this trip has been really fun. ive met a handful of really cool people from the area that i hope to run into more often than not at shows in jersey.

some of the dudes in the mongoloids, including the always wonderful joe kane, are crashing with us. its awesome.

ill write more later. im super tired. this trip was wonderful. im bummed that theres nothing really left to look forward to in life. oh well.

sore.

the trip is almost over. im really bummed.

today was uneventful. i wasnt that into too many of the bands playing, so i didnt really spend too much time inside. trapped under ice were good, but not good enough for me to actually watch their whole set. cold world, for some reason, played again today, but better them than i dunno, trash talk. guns up got a retardedly insane reaction because, for whatever reason, kids eat their shit over that band. whatevs.

i dipped my feet in the pacific ocean super late last night. it ruled. a lot. some homeless dude was sleeping on the beach and i almost stepped on him. bummer for him. and for me too, i suppose. on the way to the beach, some dudes drive by and yelled 'fuck you, you fucking tourists.' jokes on them, i guess, cause without people like us the economy of this town would go belly up.

today, we went swimming. we've been sticking with a crew of mostly PA/NJ kids, like manny and the dudes from the mongoloids. one of da mongos, this kid ray, is funny as shit and reminds me an extra from 'stand by me'. totally good dude. some lady was bitching at us today by the pool for splashing her (which we didnt) and he replied 'if you dont want to get wet dont come by the pool.' i guess you had to be there for it.

i also spend a goodish amount of time today listening to ogden bitch about europe. hilarious.

tomorrow, mother of mercy, sinking ships, bitter end, and soul control. and then a thirty hour drive home. awesome.
