i thought they were common knowledge but i was met with blank stares at their mention. 5 bucks for good beer with a heavy a.c. not bad.
however, you're not allowed to bring them into the filler. what you are allowed to do is
wright on the
walls if you're so inclined, and you're equipped with a sharpie.
but my main point is that Cal, Nicole, Cory and the Nathan-doppleganger known as Max played a show at the filling station. they played well, and the highlight for me was when they covered sleep walking by modest mouse who also
covered it. here are photos of it taken while i was there:
One2three4the next day, i went to the volcom peanut-butter and rail jam at moonlight basin. it was kinda cool, if you're into that kinda thing. it might be like john watching bmx, which parallels fixies as they are both affiliated with bicycles. there were dudes doing twirls on and during and off of obstacles. for an event where i don't know anyone, i sure saw a lot of people i know up there.
the following night was similar; we went to this random party where there were like
this many people there. again, random place, but i knew like half of them. ok, not half, but you know. the cops came so i headed towards one. "you gotta leave the alcohol," he says to me, but i respond saying, "well, do we have to go? can we stay and hang out?" but he told me the party was over. so we left. once people got into cars, i started driving. some dude stuck out his thumb, so i stopped and let him and his bro in. they were gonna walk, like way far, so they were grateful that i stopped. i'm not sure i'll ever have the chance to pick up hikers again, so i thought i'd take my chances. plus, i had Cal and Nicole with me, so i was safe.
after that, it was lame so that's it.
p.s. the best thing i saw written in the filler bathroom was "cut off your taint"
