grab on.

the four day memorial weekend was one of my favorites thus far in 2009. friday was spent around the house, followed by saturday doing much of the same. that is until I went to help my aunt move, which I thought would be an entirely strenuous and boring experience. I was proven extremely wrong though when I happened upon an 8mm film projector, which, when I asked about, I was told I could have. with that added to my collection of random media junk, I'll finally be able to play my 8mm film captured by my 8mm camera. rad. alsssso, I met one of my cousins tenants who was extremely cool. not only was she a stencil artist and into extremely good music, she also rode fixed! I find it fascinating meeting fascinating people on off chances. 

saturday turned out alright, but the epitome of the weekend was definitely sunday. it began by having Laura, Zach and April come over to help cook for Food Not Bombs Pomona. we danced and cooked and cooked and danced, life ruled at this point. after serving Zach and April headed out and me and Laura stuck around my house, enthralled in deep conversation until she had to leave. this is where I thought my night was going to end.....but no. shortly after Laura left, Joey texted me asking if I had any interest in riding the route of the L.A. marathon early in the morning. not wanting to miss out on what sounded like a promising chance for fun, I happily agreed. Joey picked me up at 10 p.m., which is when I found out that the ride started at 3 a.m. I was already exhausted from cooking and serving that day, but I said what the hell. what ensued was a night of pure insanity. the following video no where near does it justice. 

oh, also, come out to my house for this:


more deets later.
