Work was pretty cool today. I got two staff shirts and attended a real meeting.
Last night, I watched 2 BMX videos, learned names for tricks, and got up to knowing 8 guitar chords.
I went to White Marsh to check out MSS and it was inline skating day so I saw the Yasutoko brothers. Also, Jepetto was performing, and I got to talk to them afterwards. They remembered me!
I finished setting up 95% of my room at our new place. I also practiced guitar and drums and did well. How productive!
We got a new Toyota Highlander Limited... really cool...
FOUR COOLEST THINGS THAT HAPPENED:
1) I went up on the BMX vert and showed Rick Thorne our pictures from Warped Tour. He asked to keep them.
2) I was walking around on the event floor and little kids (and moms) kept asking me to get their stuff autographed. COOL PART: A kid asked for MY autograph and a bandana I was wearing. (No, I didn't give it to him, although I should've because it would've made him happy...)
3) I sat up on the skate vert during practice and Tony Hawk sat down beside me and said "hey." We held a mini conversation before camera people got in our faces (well, his). I felt uncomfortable, so I left.
4) I saw Matt Dove and reminded him of Warped Tour (when we met). He showed me his "E$PN" homemade shirt (among other things - wouldn't YOU like to know?!?) and we talked about how we both live in B-more. Later, I saw him on vert and he took my number so we could meet up in Fells Point. An hour after that, he won Gold in Best Trick (Vert)... but he didn't call.

I went to a picnic with my family...played spades and v-ball. (SEE? Not everything has to be media-worthy for life to rock!) Later that night, I went with LJ to the 9:30 Club in D.C. for the first time. The Pie Tasters were playing...I saw Steve (lead vocals) and he brought us backstage. We chilled for a while and watched four bands from the back balcony.

My mommy's 50th b-day.
I brought her to the Janet concert at MCI Center... pretty cool. JC was there, of course. (Someone was scary.) Our seats were close. Too close, actually. The End. Bye.

LJ went to watch a Sugar Ray concert at Pier Six, and somehow obtained a VIP pass. She got to hang out with the band minus Mark McGrath, and when I went to pick her up, Bo and I were able to take a picture with Rodney (guitar).
