warped 09.

ladies and gentleman, i have reached an all time record!!! i managed to stay at warped tour for a whopping 3 hours this year. i saw a specific few people and managed to make it back to casa de la darkness by 12:30! im patting myself on the back.

i had a chance to see COURTNAYY!, jimmie (+ the rest of that gang <3 those kids!), the HTL doodz, boner, dylan and a few other solids. i managed to avoid the avoidable and have an overall pleasant night (aside from the wicked stomach ache in-n-out gave me, thanks). if you want to see more just click on any of the photos below!













anndddd, so sadddd...

i miss my fwenddddds!

game over.

bamboozle has ended and i can now disinfect everything i own. day two was so disgustingly wet! the rain mixed with the cagillions of flyers made the ground look like warm quaker oats. my boots had what looked like some freaky glue splattered all over them.. bleghhh! the up side to all of this is that we had a chance to see some really terrific friends. touring friends are kinda the worst - playing the catch up game is practically pointless since so much time has passed. anyway here are some of my favorite out takes:


we got to see the closure dudes - such nice boys.



courtney and i were reunited AT LAST! <3



got to see josh, jimmie & matt tooo! (im not sure why i didnt take any photos with matt & jimmie)


sean and court got milli tattoos! woo 3Oh!3 dudes!


here's nats cousin from france eating peanut butter for the first time:




i have to take this guy back to the airport now :'( he gave me a power crystal so we can connect from 2,500 miles away.

i love him so much.

punk is definitely NOT dead.

i guess i owe this blog a bit of attention.

my head has so many thoughts to compose [and send to my fingertips to type] except its all coagulating in this messy mushpot. i kind of like it. it has been a bizarre few weeks. i feel like a nomad wondering the serpent-like california freeways each day. i kind of like that too. ive been living out of bags, cars, suitcases and friends houses. i REALLY like that.

the downside to all of this is that my existing home base is in the middle of nowhere, highland california. it is an enormous hive of track homes that are covered in so much stucco i feel like im gonna get a raspberry just glancing at them! ive always lived in old homes. creaky floors and dirty grout kinda sealed the deal in the creature comfort department for me. now im trying to get used to this clean stucco life and im not quite sure its punk enough. when i come home and the "anna's" have washed, dried and folded my once white/now purple underwear i cant help but cringe a little... it makes me want to lay some sort of obscenity around the room im staying in, for pure shock value of course. c'est la vie!

here are some photos from the past week or so:





papa dave post softball game. (i wish i had taken a photo with karissa!)

until i get a scanner, thats all for now.
