Tuesday April 1, 2008

     6:20am  I just woke up. I got seven hours of sleep.

     6:59am  I just checked my email and my twin sister Laura is getting married and pregnant with another kid. Oh my gosh.

     3:50pm  I had another productive stint of typing. I didn't log yesterday and that's it. I haven't typed that up. Tonight is the big party at The Blueberry Patch. I am thinking about heading out afterwards. Like the next day or something. We'll see what happens from there. I have had such a great time at The Blueberry Patch. It's like heaven. On the East Coast. I almost can't believe it. This is right where I needed to go.

                   Mike's Cadillac

                   Dave-O just recommended something I can't understand on my recording. Sounds like "Brader 11, your something at work."

     7:35pm  I'm going to take a break. I'm still typing up yesterday. It was a pretty exciting day. Umm, I'm on 35 right now, so I have to go back to 0 on the tape counter. Because I am typing up stuff from the same tape I am recording. I have to be sure to remember to go back. I'm a little hot inside the house. The party is starting up, I guess. I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigarette.

     9:55pm  I made a new friend. Echo was nice enough to feed the peace machine at tonight's party. I appreciate it, Echo. Everybody gets credit, thanks. Echo lives nearby and her mom cooked me a big plate of food and she brought it over.

     11:22pm  I've had an interesting night so far. There are a lot of people here at this party. I actually got to tell my story up on stage. Before it got dark, so I didn't have too big of an audience since not that many people had shown up yet. More people were listening in the back, so it was more than these two people. I really shouldn't have told them my whole story. I shouldn't have gone into the Odyssey on stage. I should've just told them the important part and the two favors. Then jump into the note from the rich, hehe.

                   Cute girl

                   Me and I forget her name

                   Marsha

                   Tonight I met this pretty hippie girl named Echo. She showed me a van I can crash in, if need be. Maybe I'll stick around.

                   What did you want me to remember, Echo? Echo: "Ron Bubsby Dream Theater Sedona Arizona. Tell them you know Echo. And Ron, take care of him, brother. He's The One."

     1:42am  I haven't been updating that much at all. The party started up around six or seven. All these people showed up. I didn't take pictures because it was too dark outside. It was a big bash. There were people spinning hula hoops of fire and stuff. Still early I got to tell my story on stage. It was mainly these two kids sitting up front. They heard the whole thing. There were some more people in the background listening to me. Mike Stanley actually sat and listened, even though he had already heard my story when I first got to The Patch. It was an alright night. I didn't get to tell my story that much. It was a party with lots of alcohol.

                   Oh yeah, I met Echo, this pretty hippie girl. She's crazy too. She showed me her van I could crash in if I ever needed to. It's like a couple blocks away on the other side of the Winn-Dixie. Oh yeah, Echo took me over to her house. She got me to tell her mom my story. Her mom was an old hippie. They gave me food and stuff. I kind of feel like it's time for me to leave already. I've been here for about ten days. I might get out of here tomorrow. I don't know. Let's see what happens.

Next day..
