Detroit rocks!

The electronic music festival was more fun than a barrel of monkeys! i don't fully understand that expression really, seems like a barrel of monkeys, if anything, would be most everything but fun. and also really stinky. However, not even the thought of that can detract from the happy vibe i am still riding on from the past weekend. Benny Benassi ( www.myspace.com/benassi ) played on sunday night at 8, here he is in all his cute genius rocking my pants off, or um, something like that. Whoever set him up in one of the smallest event areas was a big ol' nut cake, because people packed in there like nobodies business, i am in there in the general vicinity of my well placed pink arrow in the next pic, probably on my tippy toes busily squealing or something equally as dignified.
On saturday i got to see the Egyptian lover himself. Pelvic gyrating was involved on his part, and more squealing was once again involved on my part. he sang freakaholic. holy holy moly. if you care to see more of his sexy sexiness (you know you want to) www.myspace.com/therealegyptianlover
During one of his songs he walked up into the audience... he eventually stood about 5 feet from me and sang, but in this pic he is just on his way in, i am probably about 6 yards in the direction of my green arrow of awesomeness. at that exact moment i am probably busing myself trying hard not to have a stroke. though if i did stroke out, i don't think anyone would have noticed, thinking i was just a really spastic dancer or something. which i am, but thats beside the point.
Another cool thing on saturday was getting a chance to see Moby. i put in the wrong pic here without my arrow, but i was up on the balcony right above the sign..ish. somewhere in there amidst the throbbing masses. and you know how i love the throbbing masses, or, wait, what? I had so much fun, and by the looks of this blog, i also managed to killed several important brain cells removing the ability to articulate myself any better than saying it was awesome about 40 times. but, no really, really, it was awesome.

awesomely awesome awesomeness

We had a garage sale! Granted, it was several weeks ago, but whatever, i've been too busy running around in circles and freaking out about school to blog. Anyway let me tell you, this was the most awesome garage sale in the whole world! It was comprised of crap that my mom had hoarded away through out the basement cleaning process. 99% of which i would have chucked, and/or tried to chuck in the first place. It was bad enough that i was on the verge of being embarrassed to be seen outside in association with this junk. I thought of disguising myself in some neon leg warmers, golf hat and Una bomber beard kit (never leave home without it), but as it turns out no one came to the sale, so i had no one to hide from.

The day was overcast, with rain predicted. i think we had a total of 6 shoppers, and 3 buyers, netting a total of 2.25$. Then it rained, and mom cracked, and decided the sale was over after a mere hour and a half. we ended up in the hole 1.25$ being we had to shell out 3.50$ to join the block sale in the first place. And so, all the crap was soon hauled to the salvation army in a last ditch attempt to prevent it from being trashed. So, overall, this garage sale totally rocked my world. But at least it got a lot of stupid crap out of the basement, one more step toward my basements enlightenment and ultimate bliss. Or something.
