I Like Hot Weather

Yesterday we went to the Appel Farms Arts and Music Festival. Rob, Brandon and I and Brandon's friend Nick and his father. Alyssa was invited and said she didn't want to go. Of course, yesterday she and Sheila were wandering around here complaining about being bored. Sheila was mad when she found out Aly had said no she didn't want to go. Rob wanted to give in and let them come but the tickets prices started at $30, went up to $35 and were $40 day of so I said nope. We got there around 3 and man was it hot!!! I had to adjust, at first I thought I was gonna barf, but then I was ok. There was a band playing called Enter the Haggis who sounded pretty good. Then we saw the Smithereens. After that we moved over to the other stage. There was a lot more shade there but you couldn't feel the breeze so I am not sure which one was better. On that stage we saw...well, heard, They Might be Giants. We left around 6:30. Sheila said "why are you all wet?" when we got home.

Today I stayed inside and cleaned. There is just so much to get together around here some days I don't know where to start. I did a bunch of laundry, washed some curtains. Rob helped me hang a new curtain rod and I put the curtains up. I also tried to fix the end of the one that broke. I thought it was fixed but then the glass ball fell off. Miraculously it didn't break. But since I thought it was fixed, those curtains are back up too. Exciting stuff.

Friday night we went to Philly and saw an improv show. A guy I work with is in a couple of improv groups and he always gives me flyers. It's pretty funny. We saw him one other time, that was with his other group, I think the first one was a little funnier.

Last weekend we went to the TLA to see She Wants Revenge. When we got there some band called the Switches was playing. They were pretty good. I have heard one of their songs a couple of times on Alt Nation. Then it was Be You Own Pet, I think I would be able to stand them for one or two songs. But after a couple of songs it was all starting to sound the same to me. Just punk screaming. She Wants Revenge was really good but their set was kinda short because the singer was sick. Oh yeah...I make a really bad groupie...when we were out front getting tickets, the singer was standing about a foot away from me. I looked at him, thought "huh, he looks like he might be in the band." I said to Rob "I think that guys is in the band." Then when he came on stage I said "yep, he is." Haha. Suzy has a better handle on the whole groupie thing.

The next day I myspace commented their page that it was a good show. Some guy then requests me as a friend so I added him. He had pictures of himself with the singer, apparently he recognizes band members. Says he's been following the singer for like 15 years or something so, with his other endeavors and whatever, that might be why he recognizes him and I don't.

Next weekend is the autism walk. Then only one more day of school with kids. Yay! I am looking forward to being home and getting some stuff done around here. It's neverending!
