some time in 2004

i was in the mountains in peru. there was a lake - it was the most beautiful color of blue i've ever seen in my life.

i was on the amazing race. the competition was fierce, but for some reason, one of the challenges involved us being at a circus. i thought i could live my real life, and still compete in the race, so i booked a show at the circus for yellow. for some reason i was wearing a wedding dress. it was so hot out, and the wedding dress made everything worse. in order to win the amazing race i had to find a certain pop vendor and buy pop from them. the rest of the contestants made fun of me.

i was playing in fredericton, but the bar felt like stage 9 and the manhattan / paramount altogether. there was a crusty old lady working the bar. everything was made of wood and glass, and you had to climb a long flight of stairs up to a balcony thing to get in. we were so drunk that someone had spilled something down their shirt, and we had to sneak past the front desk or they'd know how drunk we were and not let us in. there were hippy guys everywhere and the worst girl singers in the world were playing the opening set. we were acting very conspicuous. i was worried about how our set would go since we were all so drunk.
