free friday

So Thursday was a long day. I had a project I worked on with my friend Ashley M, another girl from SPU, for a couple hours before class. Class was exciting because we get to choose any retail concept we want to base our projet off of. I'm bursting with ideas and talked my mom's ear off this afternoon about them. Last night after class my other friend Ashley texted me and invited me out.

A brief history on Ashley, we met over myspace when we were talking music tastes, and she mentioned her band, Darci Cash, and that they would be touring thru Seattle. So I went out to their first show in Seattle and met Ashley, Mack, Ben and Jeff. Ever since, every time they came through Seattle we've hung out. I think it was the summer before my freshman year that I met them and haven't seen any of them in almost two years, except the occasional myspace exchange.

It was fantastic that she texted me, I has just recently been thinking about them. She invited me out to see the Parson Redheads, some friends of theirs, who were playing in Silverlake at this venue called the Spaceship. I got out to Silverlake and the bouncer scanned my id with some gadget that must verify if they are real or fake, but do Washington state id's have those metallic emblem things embedded? I know my californian friends have crazy ids. Anyways, the inside was funky and covered in these metallic curtains. The band wear all white whenever they play, and there are tons of them on stage. It all felt very interactive, they were really fun to see. After that Ashley took me under her wing and introduced me to all her friends. I've met some of them before, when other bands accompanied the Cash on tours. They are all fun and sweet and way friendly, I felt immediately welcome and like I hung out with them all the time.

Ashley works at this place called Doughboys in Hollywood, actually about 5 mintues from where I live. She suggested I come in for breakfast and I thought it was perfect because I don't have class on Friday mornings. So this morning I met Ashley, and a bunch of others from last night for breakfast. It's a lovely thing having friends!

It is super hot out today! They told me last night it's been kind of cold recently, so the weather decided to show me what it could be, and blinded me on my way out the door this morning.

Tonight I'm having dinner with Beth E from Seattle, and then hopefully attend another show this evening. yayyyyy.
