Jazz fest this past weekend was awesome. Saturday was rainy, overwhelming, and slightly miserable. i left grumpy, cold, wet, and disheartened. i'd tried to see the whole festival in the hour that i was there before my shift, and obviously that didn't happen. and my shift was spent standing in the rain helping people get in and out of the musicians shuttle for which i was the assistant. no, i have no idea who i met.
But day 2 was a thousand times better. we got there first thing, so we got to see about 3 acts before our shift started. and the rain didn't come until about 10 minutes before our shifts, so i did get wet, but then i was under a tent selling tshirts and able to dry off. AND, i got to see 1. a great zydeco group. name? no idea. 2. asheson, a group from cuba, so awesome. 3. SHAMARR ALLEN. i'm going to be this guy's number one pr and advertiser from here on out, beware. but he's amazing. trust you will be hearing this name more as time passes.
And next weekend, we're working saturday, and we're working the early shift, from 11-3. which means we'll get off in time to see the roots! and the evening shows include: diana krall! and jimmy buffet! i don't know how i'll decide! well, i'll probably go to diana krall. but so cool! and a lot of us want to stay for sunday, and more than a couple people are willing to pay to get in sunday so we can see the final day, it should be pretty amazing.
oh, school's ok.. kind of meh. i won't go into it.
but we did PT on the beach this morning, which was awesome. it was amanda (the other one)'s birthday today, so it was a day for her. she led pt, which was great, we played games the whole time. and tonight we went to the casinos, where i won a dollar at the penny slots. and we played arcade games and got ice cream. all in all, i think it was a great birthday. i hope she thinks so too.
and the cake didn't get to happen tonight, so it'll happen tomorrow. which really just means her birthday gets to last just a little while longer.
(if you can't tell, i'm much happier here, despite my indifference to the project)
