good week for a media experience

well for starters, i would like to appologize for slacking on the whole class attendance thing, but i have way too many damn papers to write. i know, no excuse...

anyway, so on saturday +44 was at the rave. for all of you who have no clue who that is (as i did not), they're the guys from blink 182 minus the tall/whiney/kind of hot one. though i had to work at 5 that night at my stupid restaurant, i was still scheduled to "banner the rave". little did i know, at first, that bannering the rave equaled getting to meet the band.

so first we went in to watch their soundcheck. they were pretty decent. i'm sure if i knew songs it would've been better cause it was hard to understand what they were singing and it kind of sounded off key to me, but then again it was just a measely soundcheck...

what WAS cool about it was that travis barker the drummer broke one of his arms or something so he had to pull a def lepard and play with only one. that guy was nuts.

so whatever, after that we went to one of the back rooms where they were going to sign autographs and whatnot. on the way to the rave i was even thinking of things i could say to them and planning it all out in my head, but of course i just ended up sounding mentally retarded when i was talking to them. i said that it smelled real sharpieish around here...cause they use sharpies to sign...yeah....i got a nervous laugh out of them for that one.

so anyway, that was cool and mark hoppus is way hotter than he used to be.
