Try not to melt!  Then again, given where you live the weather is probably about the same.  :lol:

Had a fantastic time in VA. Did tons of stuff and got to hang with old friends, which was amazing.  Was there from Saturday-Thursday AM.

Got to DC on Thursday evening. Went to a hotel pool to watch "Wet Hot American Summer" on a big screen, which was cool. But the rest of the trip was down hill. My friend in DC (we'll call her 'S') was NEVER known for her hygiene/cleanliness, but when I went to visit her in March things were surprisingly in good shape. This time around- horrific. Kitty litter tracked all over the apt. Overwhelming smell of cat piss in the air. Sheets and pillowcases REEKING of cat piss. I went with a friend on this trip and neither of us slept well that night.

We wake up Friday morning knowing that it is going to be one of the hottest days of the year. S had told us that not only did she have to work all day, but she was going to a work BBQ after work and wouldn't be able to meet us until 9 for dinner. My friend and I decided at that point to drive home to Boston a day early. It was def. WAY too hot to be galavanting around DC, and spending another night in her apt was not an option. We didn't feel like getting a hotel room, either. So we hit the road. My car did great (2002 Civic) but the SECOND we got home it started making a horrible noise. Boo. $800 for a new AC compressor. :( It just sucks that the trip had to end on such a bad note.

So I'm here for the next week and a half, then I'll be in L.A. from the 3rd-10th. Woo.

K: You'll be here in time for Hardfest on Aug 6th. Also have an art show that night too. Let's hang out that day!

I'm heading down to San Diego Thurs - Saturday.

Obviously, didn't make it down to SD! My friend wanted me to join him when he headlined Voyeur down there, but got booked for a couple shoots instead!

SLIGHT possibility I might make it up to Montreal sometime in September!
