Immovable

I'd like to add, since I failed to in the past weeks, how much Burning Fight has changed my outlook on life.  It was a spiritual experience per-say for me, and very enlightening.  Just the crowd, what people said in between bands with random speeches, what the bands had to say, their song meanings in general, and what is said in the book Burning Fight, it makes me feel so great.  I feel a sense of being able to express how I feel, even if it is through singing along, I know everyone there has the same or at least similar opinions as me.  It just feels right.

On Saturday night, after Katie's going away party Becky, Rae and I started driving up to Burlington, Vermont to see Outlast and surprise all of them.  The drive wasn't that long, I was just tired, and after awhile, switched with Rae, then switched again.  We finally got there about 9AM.  Most of the day was spent by Lake Champlain and sleeping at the skate park.  Got food at this awesome co-op.  Went to an organic pizza place, and the vegan pizza wasn't vegan because it has eggs in it, wtf?  But the guy gave us walnuts covered in deliciousness.  Feel asleep there.  Went to another co-op for food.  Why can't co-op's be as common down here as they are up there? Oh because I live is suburbia yuppie vill grrr.  All hippies up there, loved it.  The kids were adorable. Everyone had kids and dogs and bikes.  Later we went to the co-op again, saw the boys and there were definitely surprised, :).  Went to the show & it was awesome.  Everyone up there was really nice, talkative, accepting, and friendly.  Matt was right (as per usual) & it just made me realize how stuck up people are or can be down here about irrelevant things like whose got the best this that and the other thing and who is the hardest, who listens to better bands, got better older shirts and shoes, just silly stuff that shouldn't be worried about because it isn't a competition. But anyway, the show was a lot of fun, even though we (at least Becky & I) saw them on Friday.  We then left around 10pm, got home at 730am... we stopped and slept for 2 hours.  

The trip was so much fun, I wouldn't mind going up there for shows and going away for 2 days, it was a lot of fun and my kind of environment.  Now I'm back to down here and have work tonight from 5:30-1:30am.. maybe I could get out earlier.  Matt's here :)
