mark had to work instead of going to the gorge with us!!! but it was awesome anyway. so here is my blog post from bodymod, followed by the email i sent to mark, so i don't have to write it out all over again.(Friday) - so here i am, in moses lake, about 30 miles from the gorge. when we got to spokane we ate at denny's, then went to the guitar center, then walked around the mall for awhile, then drove here. there's kind of a weird wind storm going on even though it's pretty hot. but anyway, on our way here we made friends with some people on their way to the gorge campsite in a subaru. it's actually pretty easy to do because it's easy to pick out the warped crowd. we were bunny hopping each other and making faces as we passed for awhile, giving fake road head, holding up money and gang signs etc, and finally one of the guys wrote a phone number on his arm with lipstick, and my bro called them up and talked for awhile. pretty hilarious. maybe we'll meet up with them tomorrow...bye for now :)
(Saturday) - All That Remains was the first act. somehow they had at least five wallets that had been thrown up on the stage by the end of their act, so that was funny. pretty sweet, blah blah blah...RISE AGAINST...nothing of note there, but of course they were awesome. Every Time I Die was good, but instead of the wall of death, they did the CRAWL OF DEATH. lawl. the singer from Street Dogs (I think...I don't quite remember) jumped into the pit and started the circle pit while still singing the whole song, then threw a couple things of mayonnaise into the air and got back on stage. i dunno.
the lead singer from the Human Abstract smashed his chest into my face/arms for a good five minutes. it was nasty because he was sweaty as fuck and screaming his lungs out. nick says i should feel blessed.
AVA played at six. it was heavenly. that's all i have to say. tom was beautiful, and the sun was setting, and just enough breeze to catch his hair. they played a few of the hits along with this punk song i didn't recognize, i could pick out lotsa dirty stuff though. dedicated Secret Crowds to Jerry Finn because...well, look it up. I had no idea that happened. I hope he doesn't die. during It Hurts, 'not your girlfriend' was replaced with 'a dirty slut.' then after one of the songs where he wasn't playing guitar he was on his knees singing 'poopoo caca' and was too into it to realize the tech guy was trying to hand him his guitar for the next song. i wish he didn't have to leave me.
but he promised he'll be back in 2010 to kiss all the girls. and that includes ME!!
