So what's everyone up to this summer?
« on: July 09, 2010, 03:37:00 PM »
Anything exciting going on?  Any good concerts or vacations planned?

I'm having a pretty lazy summer.  We got a new apartment last month, and that pretty much knocked out our spending money.  We might go down to San Antonio to see Coheed again, though.

I have been busy with transfer business at FSU.  I was 1/40 students to be accepted into their Media Production major.  I have also been very busy with table tennis.  FSU has a Top 20 in the nation table tennis team, and I hope to make their team.

Very cool - good luck!  I'll pass playing table tennis with you if I ever have the chance.  My skills are very lacking.

I have had a great summer with family and friends.  Our family vacation to The Grand Canyon, Hoover dam, Las Vegas, Zion National Park, The Four Corners (which was closed), and places in between was great.  Also made it to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Mates of State last week.  In the next three weeks I have Telegraph Canyon, The New Pronographers, and a trip to San Antonio for a music convention.  That is a pretty fantastic summer for me.

I know - for once when people at work ask me how my summer was, I can actually answer truthfully.   :stuart:

Summer here has been really Phish oriented - fell back in love with this band.  Doing a lot of swimming in my pool, hitting the Jersey Shore when I can, lots of outdoor grilling, and mostly trying to get this guys bloody image out of my head today...It's a first for me, very weird surreal thing...

I was about 8 floors below having dinner with my friends.  It was a little weird, I saw this piece of hair flying in the air and didnt think much of it.  About 10 mins later I happen to look out the window and see a crowd, I looked a little more and saw the cops and coptape, and then I got an eerie feeling and looked a little further and saw the white sheet, and the blood, and brains, etc.  Spooky shit
