Rezi weekend
Wow. What a weekend. I had an excellent time again hanging out with my friends from Oneonta. Friday night was spent at the Cafe in Gloversville. The show was superb. The crowd was a little smaller than normal due to the fact that another popular band was playing a half hour away at Beardslee. There was a sick Oblivious into Lemmings and back into Oblivious in the second set that tore the roof off. The Gloversvillians were in full effect again, but this time there weren't any fights like normal. The Rooley monster rickied it up and several new people came out to see what the hype was all about. All of which left with a smile on their face.
Of course being the lazy forgetful bastard that I am, I forgot my blank tapes to record the show. I almost drove back to get them before the show, but decided to just sacrifice the show to the Gods of unrecorded music. I would try the next day to find blank tapes in Oneonta with no success. I could not find Andris's studio for the life of me.
So we leave after the show and drive to Oneonta. That was a hellish drive but we finally made it at 5 AM. I am not a big fan of driving extremely late at night, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. We made it. That's all that matters. 30A has too many hills. My car doesn't especially like it. But it was happy when we reached 88 and I smoked past Ellis and that slow ass van.
Saturday broke apart into four sections. Section 1 was getting breakfast and driving around Oneonta to find somebody that sells DAT tapes. Mark Pawkett had a few good ideas, but I didn't go back to the Eight note to find some Ricky who might have the number to some other Ricky who might know where I could find one. Radio Shack didn't have them. Everyone else said to try Radio Shack. Thanks. Section 2 was spent on the couch at Ellis and Doinks place getting my ass beat in Madden. I came close once but missed a field goal at the end of the game. It hit the cross bar and bounced out. Crap. I easily lost 8 games, then Spohn dropped in to give me my 9th loss for the day. Wow, that is really bad I thought. Section 3 was spent at the Autumn Cafe enjoying another sweet Rezi show. The place was packed. Karibe was off the hook. The whole show was good. Oblivious opened. Section 4 was spent at some random keg party at some random person's house I didn't know. Somebody knew them, so thats all that matters. After that we made it back to West St and thats when Crazy Ellis came over and I had to kick him out cause it was late and the sun was coming up. I watched him fall down the stairs so that made it somewhat better.
The next day I hung out with Travis and Wayne for a good while and then stopped over to Ellis and Doinks for one last call on the Madden reel. I kept it close against Doink the whole game. I stopped him as time was running low in the fourth quarter. I drove and Vick scored. He got the ball and I intercepted it and ran it back for a touchdown. Game set match. I am the best ever. I left Oneonta immediately after, claiming victor, and never looked back. ¶ 2/18/2004 05:58:00 PM
