Common… five more minutes!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

F***ing awesome. I <3 everyone I've met, and everyone I've watched, and everyone I've learned something from. The not-wanting-it-to-end feelings are definitely settling in as it's been brought to my attention I fly out in a few hours. My wounds are sticking to my bandages which are sticking to my shirt, so this should be interesting.

I knew there was a reason I wanted to buy a fish eye lens. (My apologies for the complete lack of photoshopping… since there's no Photoshop on my lappie!) I also apologize if I've mistakenly cropped anyone out in this photo, I'll re-do it when I get back to Canadia.

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-04-18

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
  • 4 hours at Kinkos. If I never see another piece of paper again, it will be too soon. Of course, I bloody work in in a printing plant! BAH! #
  • is in a supremely “not wanting to be awake at this hour” mood right now. Chalk it up to not leaving the downtown Kinkos until 1am. Damnit. #
  • ARRGH! Not only does “Max sheet size 28×40″ NOT mean I can fit in a piece that’s 35″ wide… I also can’t fit a piece that is 27-7/8″ wide! #
  • is in the state of “really doesn’t care anymore” in the stress factor of “Swimsuit top not matching swimsuit bottom” Makes life easier now. #
  • can always count on Rob @ http://www.indielove.ca 2 play @awakingstate whenever I beg him 1. Will make no mention of promises though. -Love, Fuck! #
  • is more excited than necessary @ using TwitterFox @ work. This may cause me to switch back 2 Firefox from Google Chrome! Is still deciding. #
  • is somehow still packing for TX even though she thought she finished it all five days ago. WTF. Where did all this extra stuff come from?? #
  • has not actually gone to bed/sleep yet. Is currently passing 24 hours of being awake, and is not going to be envious of her travel buddies! #
  • is fucking in Texas. Well, not actually fucking in Texas. But is in Texas! Kick fucking ass! #
  • is watching season 2 of flight of the conchords with 3 sleeping dudes in the hotel room. Damn U internal clock of doom waking me up early!! #

Indie Night in Canada 2009 – Awaking State

Indie Night in Canada 2009 – Awaking State, originally uploaded by lilfunky1.

What can I say… it’s rare I’m happy with a photo of a drummer. And Brandon’s hard to get photos of. I just like that you can see the movement in his stick but for the most part everything is pretty crisp. Drives me NUTS when things go out of focus.

I AM HERE

Fun never stops. Not only was I at Kinkos in Toronto until 3am the morning that I was flying out for Texas… I ended up at Kinkos in Dallas at midnight (Toronto time) too! I swear… it's as if everyone thinks I work in printing or something.

SO EXCITED!!!

Dallas Texas Day One (and the beginning of two)

Friday, April 17th, 2009

First things first. Wednesday night? I didn’t get to sleep. I ended up going to Phil’s house (because we were being picked up early in the morning for the airport) but we needed to go back to Kinkos for another midnight running. Which turned into two different Kinkos for said midnight running. That lasted until it was time to go back and create some posters & stuff. Which we did while the sun was rising.

I didn’t sleep at all, didn’t sleep on the ride to the airport, or either flight. I was okay for the most part. Felt queezy after the landing in Chicago but was okay after some $5.00 smoothie. Felt queezier during/after the landing in Dallas, and finally forced myself to vomit to try & feel better. It worked until we were driven to the space… which also made me feel queezy.

Reduced the queezyness feeling by jumping into whatever work I could do, mostly lifting/moving boxes, holding ladders, fetching tools, laying down plastic tarps in rooms with support-poles.

Still haven’t slept really. Ended up at a tex-mex place with a burrito the size of my head (could only finish half) and it was off to Kinkos (in Dallas this time!) to print the posters designed the night before.

Still not sleepy, super energetic, finally fell asleep. Woke up way early this morning (damn internal clock) finally went downstairs for the hotel continental breakfast, and find that I will be eating a little bit of Texas:
