But What Does It Mean?

Auditions, costume shopping, banking occurred before arriving at the scene of the festival at 10pm (man, that was lame late... but the auditions kept me in the NV until almost 9pm).

Toby & Kate. Leaving. At 10. I know! Appalling. Grae, Bob, Rachael and I managed to convince them to stay on an extra half hour. I then proceeded to talk to everyone but them. But managed to steal Toby's phone during the Great Phone Raid of 2003.

The Wallflowers. These people are my favourite and I tend to glom onto them first. They're the kids with one or two buddies that abandon them but aren't socially outgoing enough to start their own inane chit-chat session for 15 or more minutes.

Chino: The American. Lessee... He's originally from Bismark (like the jelly doughnut!), ND. Chino, despite what you think, is not his given name. His parents intended him to be Brandon. He found Karen on Karen's Chicago-and-back bus fiasco and followed her up to Canada when a job fell through. Immigration says he has to leave by August 31st or else he'll be illegal and able to be deported. Sweeeeeeet. He doesn't like regular chips (or Dead Baby Flavour), drinking or Canadian cigarettes.

Paul. Paul gets a mention and award for the following: Being The Drunkest, Begging Me Not To Say Anything. Aside from being really sick everywhere (including hijacking and vomiting in Rachael's bed), he was also too stubborn to lie on his side. There were some murmurs about him getting too drunk, but people were still handing him drinks after I got there and he was already barely standing then. Plus, if you're having a party, you should be keeping some eye on those that are getting drunk and remove the situation (ie all drinks from them) as soon as you see it happening. I think far too many people were encouraging him to get really sick. Not that he didn't start the ball rolling.

Everyone else seemed in good spirits and had great discussions with good section of you. And I now hold Radiohead tickets. Neenerneener.
