so it's been quite a weekend--full of ass banging, substance abuse, and eardrum blistering electronic music. soundgard came into town on friday and we spent most of that day abusing painkillers, weed, and jimmy john's. we watched quite a few films as well, but i think i was only semi-conscious for most of them. i do remember spiderman 3, mr brooks, and evan almighty, and except for the latter which was kinda "bleh", they were really entertaining. also we watched "the host" on sunday when we were recovering, and it was FUCKING AMAZING. gard also pointed out to me that the whole movie might be a huge metaphor for the hatred the rest of the world has for america, and how we continue to buttfuck asia and the middle east in their raw bleeding buttholes. i never realized this before. i recommend that everyone check this movie out since it's not just a sweet monster movie with no cheesy moments and has elements of suspense, horror, and comedy.

so.. soul asylum went off without a hitch. we took the amtrak from milwaukee to chicago at around 5 and made it to chicago by 7. we bummed around the city briefly and took a cab ride to a shady looking area of south chicago where it aimlessly tried to find the entrance to the party. while doing that, we saw about 10 cops with vests and swat gear standing outside a warehouse at which point we were like "fuck". so we eventually found the entrance, paid and got in, and it turned out to be an absolutely huge and HOT underground warehouse. we weren't there for more than a half hour until the cops shut it down. at least they nicely asked everyone to leave, and didn't search or mess with anyone. so we stood outside of this warehouse for a good hour, hoping infared (the party promoters) would have a backup location. luckly, a kind dj offered us a ride in his SUV to the new location. it turned out to be the upstairs of a building on the north end of town and within a few hours they had setup the sound. the venue was also cool cause it had multiple chill rooms and such. jade + hyde threw down a bangin' set. there was also some great hardcore played, although i don't remember the name of the djs. we were all dancing our asses off, and by about 5 am we were all pretty beat. so we decided to hitch a ride back to the train station around 6:30 and haggardly chilled there until our train was boarding. it was actually kinda stressful, since we all smelled like a dead gorilla's anus and all the other passengers avoided us like the plague.

so we got back to milwaukee around 10, and fortunately my car was still there even though i had parked in a "no parking zone". thank god for that. we were all still pretty faced (except matt), so we just sat around watching tv and movies. eventually we got a pizza and it was delicious.

i really don't know what else to say. i have been continuing to move all my non-furniture shit out of my house so this weekend i can just concentrate on the big stuff. i don't think living at my parents house will be too bad. free food, no real chores or responsibilities, although i won't be able to come home and rage madd weed like i am used to. i now will have to wait until they are asleep. damnit. and i guess i'm not allowed to have people over at all either, but that's alright since it will now force me to go out more often.
