7:00am I just woke up. I only got five and a half hours of sleep. I guess I can take a nap later on. This morning everything is soaked with condensation, dew and stuff. I wonder if sleeping with a tarp over me would make a difference.
Everybody hanging out in the morning
8:53am I woke up in this field this morning. I should take pictures after I pack up. Dude, I lost my friggin' wallet. I can't find my wallet. It's pretty mission-critical because I have all my webpages in there. It's just not in my back shorts pocket. The only really important thing in there as my ID, but I have a scanned copy of it. Oh well, easy come, easy go. Damn, I had a couple paper clips/scraping tools in my wallet. I remember having it last night at the Jack in the Box, because I gave that guy my website. Maybe I left it in the back when me and Justin were waiting for the guy to give us food.
Oh yeah, last night while we were waiting for the guy who gave us food Justin asked me if I had a marker and I gave him one. I went, "If you're going to tag anything at least put havethisbook.com." He did just that! At first he had drawn a big peace sign, but then he wrote havethisbook.com. Kickass! So that means if I left my wallet back there last night and somebody found it and turned it into the lost and found, since I have all those little slips of paper in my wallet with my website, they'll correlate that with the graffiti outside. Oh well. I'll deny it. I didn't tag it after all. I'll still want my wallet back if they have it, hehe.
Looking back
9:22am I just walked up to the Jack in the Box where we were last night. I'm going to go ask if anybody turned in a wallet.
They told me no.
The taqueria across from Jack gave me the manager's not here bullshit. I'm going to walk over to the 7-11 and buy some rollies. I'm supposed to buy two pouches for everyone back in the field. Wait, I'm walking and I see another taqueria.

10:08am La genta amable en Super Taqueria me estan dando comida. Muchisimas gracias. Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias.
Sweet, I got hooked up. I'm walking back now.
I went to the field and walked back to Jack with everybody else. Oh yeah, last night I had put my wallet in my backpack so all my little papers wouldn't get soaked with the condensation in the morning. I guess I totally forgot when I woke up. I've got my wallet back.
At the Jack Nicole volunteered me three dollars, just like that. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.
3:22pm Oh yeah, we were trying to manifest a dub(twenty sack) by 4:20. Yeah, I've had a big wasted, relaxing day in the field today, just soaking in the sun. We're going to try and get some marijuana somehow. We're going to go fly our signs by the Jack in the Box.
4:04pm Haha, all of us went to the onramp close to Jack. I put on my clown wig and pulled out my Support the Cause sign. Four cop cars pulled up and told us shit for flying our signs. Like less than five minutes after I got on the onramp.
One of the dudes got ten bucks from somebody at the Jack in the Box. We rode the light rail downtown to Paseo de San Antonio and they bought a tiny ass nugget for fifteen bucks. They took hits in front of the art museum and I walked across the street to Cesar Chavez Park. At the first park bench this girl notices my shirt and asks me if I want to smoke some weed! Thanks for smoking a brother out, Star. Everybody gets credit.
Justin: "This is Justin, and I am with Victor and Victor is telling lots of cool ideas about how to bring world peace with marijuana. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good time for Americans to see the light. We are at the park and we're getting these teenager skater kids to do these really stupid tricks in hopes that they eat shit. It is now 6:05pm. There's something in the sky. What's in the sky?"
6:15pm Ha, I've got a sidekick! Justin is voluntarily carrying my bags for me so I can walk around with my shirt exposed. I should take a picture. He's given me this taste of freedom. I get to walk around free without my bags. I'm going to the library now. Cool, it seems to be open. I'll check my email. Maybe I can type.

Oh yeah, I had an awesome presentation with that girl Star earlier. She listened to my story great and reacted at every single point I made, even through the chatter and disruption of everyone else at the park bench. I had her in a trance. Star listened to my entire Odyssey and everything. Not the whole thing. I cut it short after the spirit's part. Later on.
Oh yeah, Justin and I are going to go to the Hare Krishna temple to get food, even though there's tons of taquerias in this town,
8:28pm I find Hare Krishna people a bit confused. It's just plain delusional to think that just saying words over and over again will do anything. Talk is cheap. I wasn't so much in a hurry more than I felt I was just wasting my time there. They still worship a personified God and believe that we are born sinners. They think that there is something wrong with humans to begin with. They just don't make sense to me.
9:00pm We just got on the light rail.
I'm on the light rail going back to the field by Cortner. We went to the Hare Krishna Temple and finally got a great vegetarian dinner. We were sitting there for hours, pretending to chant with them. Justin pretended a lot more. He actually put some makeup on his face, even though when I asked him if he was a Hare Krishna he told me no. I think his act is a little patronizing to them. I was sitting there singing along from a songbook in Indian, I think. Talk is cheap, I still think.
9:41pm I didn't tell you, we already got to the field and I made my bed at a new campsite. I'll take pictures in the morning. I'm going to pinch my huge tarp around me like a cocoon and hopefully I won't get that wet in the morning from the dew and have to wait for like nine for the sun to come up to dry everything off.
