ricky skaggs has gone grey!!

these boys, my friends, are the avett brothers and i LOOOOOVE them.

this weekend was the 'hardly strictly bluegrass festival' in golden gate park. It’s one of the greatest free festivals in the world, me thinks (as do my sound-kid-friends who were working the stages). No fee to get in, 4 stages, AMAZINGLY TALENTED PERFORMERS, people rocking out, banjos, dogs, emmylou harris, ricky skaggs (awwwwwesome), binoculars at festivals sea world style (beth and paul - you get this one), frizbees, corn, sunshine, a bit of fog in the evenings. Really it was so super freaking awesome. I’ve been in the best mood since – woke up this morning dancing – actually slept last night for longer than 4 hours without waking up in the interim. I had such a great weekend.

You should all consider coming out here next year for the festival, being I’m still here, etc etc.

The rest of the weekend included: yoga, commiserating with heather from couchsurfing, creating long-term, tangible, possible goals for the first time in my life,

INTERRUPTION: I’m at work, and stace just got fired. I cant even believe it. She’s not sure what she’s going to do – she’s trying to go on tour with some of the sound people that were here for the bluegrass festival. Maybe Trader Joe’s (local organic grocery store). Geez man. This is insane. Two people fired in the previous two months.

Its actually a blessing in disguise for stace, seriously. She was NOT happy here at all. Neither of us are actually. Man, this is so crazy. She’s taking it well though – she actually started looking for another job last week because this one was driving her crazy. Everything will work out for her.

Man, I’m NOT getting into landscape arch/ arch as a career. The job market is far too fickle, and the lifestyle far too stressful. Next, please.

Hope all is well out there. This entry went from super happy to super wierded out – but honestly I (and Stacey) think that she will be in a much better place now. Besides, she’s getting paid to not come into work tomorrow. And she can get unemployement! (which pays more per month than either of us made last year).

I miss you kids a lot. More soon –
