We were supposed to go to Delaware to play the Brandywine disc golf course, but we got rained out. We decided to play the home course anyway. It wasn't raining too hard, but at one point it just poured for about fifteen minutes. We were soaked but we played through. The rain stopped and the sun came out for last third of the game so we dried off a bit.

After we all changed and dried off completely, we met up at Bob Evans for "breakfast" at 3pm. The pancakes I had were really good and we discussed ways for Nate to hit on the waitress.

In the night was the show at Hangar 84. The Crosstown Rivalry, winners of the battle of bands we were in, played first. Moneen was up next and they were pretty good. Anthony Green was next. He played most of his newer solo stuff and they played a super fast version of one of their songs after playing it at regular speed.

Saves the Day came out to greet the excited crowd with "All-Star Me." It felt like being at a show seven years ago. They played a great mixture of all of their albums, even gracing us with a track from Can't Slow Down.

There were only a few songs I could have even hoped they would play that they didn't. It was amazing.

I went to Jimmy's to hang out with him and Nate for a while after the show. I came home and caught up on Life on Mars then went to sleep.

I substituted at Lakeside with another student teacher so I had a lot of free time. I spent most of the day on the internet looking at maps of cross-country routes and disc golf courses around the country.

After reading about it all day I had to go play a game with Chuck after work.

I got some Chinese at the mall, where Chuck had Saladworks and we sat at what might be considered a food court.

Later, Katie and I went to Philly for the Copeland show. It started really late so we had time to find the Maoz on Walnut Street.

Once we found the First Unitarian Church, we descended to the basement to find the hot, muggy atmosphere of a show that I haven't experienced in a while. Lydia was the first band we saw and they were really good. The crowd seemed to like them too.

Lovedrug played next. They were good, but the crowd didn't seem to be too into them for most of the set.

Copeland played last, of course, to a sing along crowd. They mixed up the set really well and played so many great songs. They seem like nice people and very appreciative of their fans.

We talked to Aaron for a few minutes after the set and got pictures.

Everyone cleared out and we eventually left as well.

It had warmed up outside a lot. I was pretty tired and wanted to get to sleep to get up early the next day.

Long class day today. First, I had to give my presentation on the artist I chose for Color Theory. I actually really enjoyed giving the speech and I wish I could do more things like that because I'm good at it. Figure drawing was awful as usual and I got to hang up my finished large pen for Expressive.

Our plaster projects were due in 3D today. We did the two plus hour critique and got to leave our sculptures behind for a while.

After class I got some supplies at Wal-Mart and we watched The Office and It's Always Sunny. I am planning some things..

I started the day subbing at Lakeside with an extremely easy assignment. The Social Studies class I was in for had a student teacher that had already been teaching the class for a while so I just sat back and did my research paper. It was nice.

I met Chuck at the course for a game, Ryan and Nate couldn't make it. Another patron of the course, Dave, tagged along with us as well. We played up until hole 15 before it was too dark to consider trying anymore.

After I had something to eat, I went to my grandmom's to work on the large amount of artwork that I had due. I had to do a six foot drawing of an object that represents me (see the pen,) a painting for Color Theory that I'm not good at, and I had to milk paint my 3D sculpture.

Chuck came over instead of going out to Applebee's like we usually do to work on the script. We got some good revisions done in the script and I managed to finish all the work I needed to.

Another long day of classes. We watched an interesting documentary in Color Theory, then we drew a new model in Figure.

We did more light and shadow drawing (which i hate) on a still life (which i hate) in Expressive, then I spent class sanding my model down in 3D Design. It's almost done.

I came home, watched House and had dinner before doing some research for my paper.

Oct 20, 2008

I substituted for a science/anatomy class in the morning and got to do something great. I got to watch House with the class. They are supposed to learn terms from it. They have watched about five episodes from the second season. I love teaching tools.

After teaching I went to class of my own and got my test back with an even better score than I hoped, but only by eight points. I got a 128 on the test. Not something I'm proud of because it didn't take any effort or brain power to get it.

I left that class early to finish up work on my sketch book. I watched Chuck and drew myself for a few hours but I finished.

I still went to bed early even though I was up doing homework.

We left early for Philly this morning to go to the Art Museum. The AIDS Walk was going on so traffic was a little hectic.

We had to get a picture with an artwork to prove we went to a museum for Art History. This will be accompanying my paper tomorrow.

We went to the Whole Foods near the Parkway and got fake chicken for lunch. It was amazing.

When I got back to town I met Nate at the course only to find Matt there ready to play a game also.

Nate has been constantly improving a lot of his shots.

Dave Hunter was back in town, which is why Matt was back also, and he joined in on the fun for his first time. It was a great day for playing, the weather was just right.

Matt mentioned a trail off of Delsea Drive to check out so Nate and I headed over there after our game.

There were old furnaces lining the banks of the river in ruins. They looked pretty awesome though.

It was a nice, long trail that was scattered with random bursts of color in between heavy sections of pine trees.

There was an area where vines were taking over everything, climbing up trees and pulling them down.

We got a chance to climb up a train car and walk on it. I haven't done that since early in high school behind Wheatons.

When it started to get dark, we headed down the train tracks and back to the car just before we couldn't see anything.

I came home and wasted time not doing the papers I should have been doing and then went to my grandmom's to watch Dexter. I'll do them tomorrow..

I went out in the afternoon and played half of the course by myself. I wasn't really in the mood to play alone so I didn't stay too long. I went to see my grandmom and then came home to have something to eat.

I got my "costume" ready for the show, then eventually headed over to Jeff's. I was Mac from It's Always Sunny. What's up, bitches?

Sweet Dee has a coke problem.

My friends Alex and Alisa from Rowan came to see us also.

We took the stage pretty late to a fairly empty room.

Our guitarist, Silent Bob.

The show was fun and we played well despite the lack of enthusiasm from the audience.

We went to Sam's house after the show for the end of the barbecue that was going on. Sam was still grilling food and made me a veggie sandwich that was awesome! We hung out and ate for a while, then sat around the fire laughing and trying to stay warm.

It was a fun night. Nate and I stayed out around the fire until the last log had burned down and it got really cold. The switch in temperature always seems really sudden.
