Hey folks,
It's been a full day! I decided to take most of the day off work at about 7:45 this morning, when my mom called and said that she'd be in Rutledge, MO., shopping at a flea market. (the sign says, "Rutledge gun and dog exchange". Awesome!) Pretty convenient, considering that, as usual, I haven't mailed out my Mom's day card yet and it would never get to Iowa in time. So, I went to work at 8:00, left at 10:00, drove up to Rutledge, hung out w/my Mom, and had fun. I like flea markets, and more importantly, road trips on beautiful hot sunny days. I took a roundabout way back, and got back to CoMo just in time for band practice. We got shut down a little bit early, 'cause the animal shelter next door was having a picnic, and it turns out that people that attend such things don't appreciate loud obnixous metal music drowning out their guest speaker. Whatever, we were about done anyway, and the cops were cool. After that, I called my friends' house and got Ben, who was just heading out to the "Big Free" concert featuring Mission of Burma and the Jurrassic 5. We cruised to a nearby mexican resturant neither of us had ate at, pigged out, and walked from there to the show. We met the rest of our crew and after J5 were about done, headed back to the bar at the mexican resturant for a beer, after that the liquor store and to Hubbell St., party central. After some beers and a brief trip to East Side Tavern to see local favorites Trebuchet, we proceeded to drink mass quantities. Fun for everyone. Especially on "No Shirt Fridays" - a new theme at Hubbell St., evidently.
Culito out. Hope every one is being safe this No Shirt Friday.
