The thunderstorm followed me all the way from Lansing, as did my dissatisfaction in music.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got to the fest, I felt completely in my element.  My trench coat billowed perfectly in the wind leftover from the storm, and I wandered throughout each area&#8230; I can&#8217;t even describe it.  Saturday was a wonderful night.  I got to see tons of people&#8230; <lj user=\"riccer\">, <lj user=\"cre8tvegrl\"> (which was nice, because I hadn&#8217;t seen her in a long time), <lj user=\"cavingman\">, Keltoid, <lj user=\"isolt\">, <lj user=\"pfrank\">, <lj user=\"chimalis\">, <lj user=\"benniferus\">, <lj user=\"peculiaire\">, <lj user=\"thebobber\">, <lj user=\"pathwalker\">, and so many others&#8230;.  just a fantastic night.<\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n<p>Sunday was bright, sunny, warm, and did I mention sunny?  I&#8217;m red.  Like a f&#8217;tomato.  Anyway, Sunday was good too. Dinner with the DetGoth crew at Niki&#8217;s Pizza in Greektown was a good time.  Wish I could have eaten more of that pizza, it was really good.  Katester and her friend (can&#8217;t remember her name for the life of me) were very cool.  Back at the fest istelf, I got a lot of writing done, and got to talk to two bums&#8230; one was more educated in literature than I am, and one&#8230; emphatic doesn&#8217;t begin to describe the man when you start talking about George Clinton.  Heh.  Unfortunately, I only got to hear the latter from a distance, but DJ Bone tore that shit up&#8230;  I started to feel sick, so I headed back to Shelby Twp.  Probably let myself get dehydrated.  I felt better today, but decided not to go back to the fest.  Hung out with <lj user=\"chimalis\"> and <lj user=\"benniferus\"> and worked on my paper.  Good times.  Now I&#8217;m at home, avoiding finishing that very same paper.  Ah, well.<\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekend was fantastic. Lansing feels foreign.
