Oct 28, 2010

After deciding not to go to class and stay in bed through the morning, I decided the day was too nice to waste. I started playing a game of disc golf at the course but I couldn't even play. I just went to the bench at hole three and laid on it, listening to music and looking up at the trees. I probably stayed there for the better part of an hour just staring. I didn't feel like doing anything at all but it was nice to be outside.

Later that evening I went to Philly with Chuck for a house show for Gardening, Not Architecture. After going to Bishop's Collar for The Quesadilla, we went to the house. We were early for the show even though we were an hour late and the guy at the door said we could hang out in the back. We assumed there would be other people out there but we found this empty yard instead. There was no light on when we first walked out.

We spent some time in the yard, mostly alone, and then went inside to see the first band. We stayed outside for the duration of the next reggae band. We seemed to be the only people at the party who didn't know the group or live there. We talked to Sarah from GNA outside for a while. She was very friendly and talkative. We went inside together to watch a guy from the band 100 Acre Woods play acoustic.

Sarah set up her stuff and then turned the lights out to play six songs. It was a short set but all of her stuff was really good. The people in the crowd were drunk and annoying but she was very passionate about her songs and sang well.

We talked to her for a while after the show and got an awkward picture.

After the most confusing and backwards exit of Philly that I have ever experienced, we headed back toward home.
