03:38 pm - late entry: on the road
last week i went on the road.
saturday night; after getting heavily inebriated at natalia's house we all made it over to nam's for the KCPR summer trainee party. around 10:30pm, alex called me and we met at the barn, loaded the car and headed over to cass'. after sharing two j's with cass and brandy, alex drove us to his parent's house in santa cruz.
we woke early and drove to the russian river. there we went to healdsburg to drink delicious ales at the the bear republic. we cooled off in the river, finding solace in the water's restlessness under the redwoods. we set up camp on the grass next to the river in guerneville, the night was clear and the stars were spectacular. i woke up early everyday last week, i think i was just anxious to be out there everyday. i made potatoes for breakfast. we rented a canoe, it was only for a few hours, but we made it count.
we drove as far north as we could go without leaving this state behind. feeling our minds expand, we ventured into the redwood forest early in the morning. the forest was covered in ferns, and the trails followed creeks. we found elks, climbing trees, and ancient bridges; we found ourselves. we made it back to our beach camp just in time to open some good beer and watch the sun set.
we drove down the one with haste and set up camp in mendocino at the russian gulch. knowing that it was grown there in the woods, it tasted all the better. we found a waterfall and struggled with our fire.
on our way to yosemite we stopped at lake berryessa and cooled off in its shallows. we made it up to my friend phil's cabin before him and his friends. phil is my best friend from growing up, my oldest friend. it was the end of the week and my beard was long, i looked incredibly haggard. walking into the cabin in their abercrombie outfits; phil and his friends were appalled at my bare feet, my open beer, my cutoff shorts, and my ferocious beard. all their doubts about me were forgotten when they tasted my cooking. we went to a swimming hole under a waterfall with surrounding cliffs. i totallly did a couple backflips off the cliffs into the water. the last one that i did summed me up; i spun out of control and my body/ face hit the water with such force that i was red for hours, the bruising subsided after a couple days; i had so much fun.
katielane came back to san luis obispo yesterday. i move into a new house in a couple weeks. my parents think that i am throwing my life away, but i wake up happy everyday.

yesterday from 1-4 pm, I took my last undergraduate college final. I graduate this Saturday with a BS in Civil Engineering and I have no clue what I am going to do with my life.
The economy is in ruins, and the building industry is basically shut down. There are very few jobs out there, and although I have been applying for jobs the last 4 months, I can't find anything, at least I'm not alone. I have an average GPA for my major at Cal Poly, and unfortunately it is not good enough to get into any graduate programs that I would like to pursue; BUMMMMERRR.
my current course of action will be to stay here, in san luis obispo in the BARN, and work my hardest to get by. I plan on staying here until I can find employment in the field of civil engineering, or until I figure out my next step.
living at the BARN will probably be a little strange. betsy and matt are moving into a studio together (all my friends are growing up) they are getting a cable package that includes MTVJAMS! and moving right next to a liquor store, so many 40's will still be enjoyed with my dear friends. this BZ named helen is moving into betsy's room, I don't know her, I have just met her once; sharon (my landlord) made the decision to have her move in, didnt really give us a chance to look for a new roomate, whatever though, I live my own life, and I'm sure she'll live hers. nick will continue living there. nick is really weird, he needs to learn about personal space. my good friend collin is moving into katie's house, so that'll be fun.
I am going to go on a road trip in mid July with my old roomate Alex. we are going to drive north and hike/camp/fish/live the dream in several forests over the course of a week.
katie flies out of SFO on tuesday to go to peru for 5 weeks, I am going to miss that girl more than my stolen/lost copy of abbey road.

folk yeah!'s festival in the forest was quite possibly the greatest weekend of my life
so we arrive in the beautiful big sur friday morning. the first thing we do is eat burritos in a creek, yeah, we sat down in chairs that were in the middle of the creek. we then went to our campsite, first night we camped outside of fernwood at a different campgrounds about 1 mile away. after setting up the tent and drinking some beer and chilling out a little, we hiked to fernwood, there we signed in and were given our volunteer wristbands. katie and i had to go set up the merch table, and grahm and geoff had to set up the entrance gate table. the merch table was just slightly out of the site of the stage (blocked by a tree) so we asked sarah (homegirl that was in charge) if we could move the table about 20 feet so we could see the stage perfectly, she was totally ok with this and even offered to help move it. at the merch table we met pretty much all the bands as they brought us their stuff, it was awesome to converse with these brilliant musicians, and most of them gave us free cd's for our radio station (kcpr had a nice presense there) anyway, we only had to work a total of eight hours and we could see and here all the bands perfectly. every band there was absolutley incredible, i didnt dislike a single moment of any band, and a lot of the bands i hadnt heard that much of or any of before, so i was exposed to a lot of great new music. also, the real kicker was that there was a cabin there that was preparing really great food, most of it vegetarian yeahhh, the whole time, and it was conveinently located next to the kegs of stella artoir, newcastle, and some really fucking good ale; and all this stuff was free to bands and volunteers. saturday morning we moved our tent to fernwood. we also saw millie from freaks and geeks on saturday. oh and in the morning katie and i took an incredible hike all through the beatiful redwood forest, and meadows, and creek... i would go into detail about everything but it would take like 80 pages; so to sum it up, it was just a weekend long party in beautiful big sur, where we saw incredible bands play, while drinking free beer, and eating free food.
school has started, its alright, and it also means new radio showsss:
regular format with a trainee: wed 10am-12pm
PSYCHADELIC GOSPEL: thursday 5-6 pm this is like my favourite show on kcpr (its been on for years) and my freind francisco asked me to do the show with him. i am super into doing this show becuase i get to play tons of music that wouldnt have fit any other programming becuase when i was doing that other psychadelic show i didnt want to tread on the territory of this one so i only played psych pop, now i get to play so much more
tune in at 91.3 fm san luis obispo or stream live at kcpr.org

i just got the ohkay from folk yeah on my request to volunteer at the merch booth for a couple hours so that i can attend the festival in the forest, and my work is down with giving me the time off too
i am fucking ecstatic; this should be an incredible weekend. ENTRANCE, beach house, and little wings all play sets when i am not volunteering, plus everyone else that i will see should be incredible too, and i will get to camp in fernwood for free with some friends. however, i will need to skip my third thermodynamics lecture; ohnoo
