thursdays are always a bit stressful

half the day its as if someone is trying to break free of my left eye and escape to safety
whoevers in there is having a hell of a time getting out, i wish them the best of luck



grabbed a new camera so i can start showing a bit of what happens here at HG
so many shows and so little feedback or reviews each evening.

going to try to give a little glimpse of what goes on here each night.

hopefully ill learn how to use the camera and most photos will be ok.

sunday snow

kind of a late one last night
straight work wise though

day 1 of not drinking

didnt get home til after 3am

good shows though

against me! killed it
just as energetic and enthusiastic as last time they came through, with double the crowd to enjoy it

riverboat gamblers had an amazing dancing singer who went balls out getting the crowd involved
dancing on the barricade, jumping from the barricade back onto the stage backwards without looking and nearly wiping out, getting all tangled in the mic cord and then going onto hype our public enemy show next week

"nothings more punk rock than public enemy"

fake problems were bad ass as well

ninjadrome III killed
haitian, hambone, panda watch and the juan maclean
each event they put on brings out the dancing crowd and good times had by all
wilf fucked up his drums second song in early in the night, but i think it worked out to their advantage cause they were able to get a replacement and play to probably more folks all and all

today
missed a good time
brunch for caseys birthday since i crashed so late



since then

snow

record time walk from winooski to b town

a chair

julia and i retrieved a chair from the langdon street cafe today

heres why

we went there a few months back and had an absolutely wonderful time drawing and drinking tea and such

i drew a nice little pic of the chair on her arm

the next time we came back we saw it again and even took a picture just to have so we could remember a bit more how much fun we had that first time through

after getting home i emailed the cafe and asked what it would take to possibly make the chair ours

a wonderful woman named lisa responded and she ended up allowing me to simply take the chair next time i was there
that next time was today

she was nice enough to share a little bit of history regarding the chair

" The story of the chair: before we ever started the Langdon St.
Cafe, Noah Hahn and I were great college friends. After college, when
I moved to Montpelier, he was known to come visit in his big red Astro
Van. We would drive around and seek adventures wherever we went. We
enjoyed having breakfast at the River Run in Plainfield. One day,
while waiting for a table, we were lingering outside. I saw a chair
next to the dumpster. It was lovely, well-worn, and only slightly
rickety. I coveted it. "When will I ever need this chair?" I asked
Noah. He said, "Who cares? It's great! I have room for it in my van.
Let's load it up." So we did. I hung onto it for about two years. It
became a fixture at the cafe once we opened our doors. And the rest is
history. Now it comes to you! Originally, the chair belonged to the River Run. They did not wish torepair it, which is why it was on its way to the dump. Hail chair
rescue! One of the reasons that I am excited for you to have the chair
is because I believe that you are also rescuing it as I originally
did. I imagine that its life will be longer in your posession than in
the bustling traffic of the Cafe"

You can start the car with anything, no need for a key
Both the back doors dont work, one is closed with a bungee cord
