Music: "In This Diary" -The Ataris
Just got back from the ataris concert. It was really loud. It wasnt my favorite concert in the world, only because I was involved in 3 separate mosh pits, the last of which was a little painful and I would have rather avoided it. The drunk guy standing behind me got up on the stage 4 times because of the incompetent event staff. I had a good time though, only because it ended on a really really good note. I was leaving with kim, sarah and cristina and we saw a big bus. I was like hey, I bet that's the ataris' bus. And then sarah said yea, that's the guy that was on stage, remember? He tunes the guitars. And so I was like go say hi to him sarah. She didnt want to, but then I saw that they were in fact roadies and so while they were all walking off I said hey guys, why dont we hang around here for a minute. So they were still kind of walking off, but I didn't want to go, so I stayed where I was. The roadie looks at me and was like hey. Are you bored? I just went...yea. And he's like cool, wanna help me unload all this stuff? So we all got to be roadies for the ataris for 20 minutes. I got to touch kris's (with a K) very own bike! *sarcastic enthusiasm* It was cool though to be a roadie for a few. We asked the guy all about working for the ataris. He was a cool guy. He would have been cooler if he would have given us something for helping him out, instead of just taking his paycheck that we earned for him, but it's all good.

My new clarinet came today too. It's so pretty. I am, however, in love with the case. It's like the case of my dreams. lol. Now I don't have to worry so much when I'm playing in the stands. Stupid wooden clarinet and it's ...woodiness. I'll bring it on monday so everyone can see it.

I'm a little pissed off at the amount of crap I am anonymously taking for what I wrote. People are being assholes about it. If they don't know why I did not want my name announced like that to the whole band for writing it, then they should deal with that. Magda is freaking telling people that she wrote it. Yea right.. So many people though are saying crap about it that is really just rude, and I know that they wouldn't say it if they knew it was me, but still. If you don't know about it, then dont make a comment on it. Perhaps it was a bad idea to im that thing to ale. Only bad has come from it. But I guess I should have known better, since everything that I touch anymore turns to...something bad. The expression is gold, but I couldnt think of anything good to put in its place.

Ok, I'm gonna go watch the Cubs kick the crap out of the Marlins, as is Mr. Lerner. Haha. They're going down.

Can't BELIEVE you got to be a roadie! GRRRR!!!

New clarinet is.. not.. wood? HAHAHA I have no idea what you're talkin' bout in this paragraph.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of talk about that letter too.. but mainly just stuff on, "Do you know who wrote it? Was it really a student?" etc. I haven't personally heard anyone say crap about it.. but I don't doubt it. I however, don't think it was a bad idea to show it to Ale and to have Ale read it to the band. I am positive you got people to think and even if they won't say anything positive or voice what they're thoughts on it were.. I'm sure they're thinking. Some people are just like that... everyone else says bad stuff about it so even if they agreed with you, they'll pretend it's something stupid or whatnot.
Definitely the right thing to do. And so well written! Just remember that what you hear from someone may not be what they really believe or are really thinking.

Lucky! : P Hahaha, was Sara incredibly jealous that you touched Kris' *imitation-of-dreamy-sigh* bike? LOL

I wants to see the purdy new clarinet! Hehe. New stuff is always fun.

Aww, that was sweet, Kristen. : ) She really did sum it up. I know I'm pretty negative about band, but I do want to see us do well. I just wish Lerner would quit throwing setbacks at us... And Magda writing that?!!!? o.0; That's just something out of the Twilight Zone. She never stops complaining about band. -.-

Why thank you!
^.^

Ditto. I do try hard all the time.. near to my best and pushing the others to do their best too.. but it's hard and draining. Still, my goal is a superior in one way or another. (Sorry bout this one Amanda:) Something I remembered not too long ago.. was that percussion has it's own category. If we can't get a superior overall then dear God let's aim for a superior in that category. And you being in pit means you're in that category.

HAHAHA Twilight Zone! I agree there. Freaky.
And setbacks.. don't even get me started. LOL

Yea, we talked about the percussion category today at practice. Tom was telling us all about how we should screw the rest of the band and just try to get superior percussion. We spent a lot of time working on our "visuals" (when to bring the sticks up before you play). All (most) of the people in pit are working really hard. I think having Tom come and help us out is really going to be beneficial because the guys seem to like him a lot. He asked them today what they wanted to get at festival and they all really thought about it for a second and said superior. We got a lot done at practice after that. Props to Leah for bringing him in, even if he is a pedophile. ;-)
