with a broken stick in dirt we scrawled: ARCHIVE -- edgefest, eh?

this weekend was fucking crazy...thats all i can say...FUCKING CRAZY!

i would just like to say that i love canada...they have a lower drinking age, nice people, strong beer and good concerts....what more could you ask for, eh?

as usual, i think i'll start from the beginning...

thursday at 1030 i find out we are leaving friday at like 8....and i have to work friday...fun FUN...i got home from work at almost 7:00 cause of stupid 80 west being closed AGAIN...damn kids....so i packed and we all got ready and all....and we left my house at 12...went back to wayne cause john forgot his ticket....everything else that night was a blur...i was falling asleep at like 11...i stayed concious til like 2/230 and then i guess i passed out for like 2 hours...

at about 7/730 we went to niagra falls...it was kool...we hung around til the tours started and we got to walk down like almost under the smallest of the 3 falls...we got fucking drenched! but it was awesome...

then we crossed the border, got our car strip-searched and went to the hotel...we found out the drinking age was 19 so we got beer at 'The Beer Store' and went shopping and fixed the car (i didnt know it was broke!)

we went to some bars and a restaurant...it was fucking awesome... i just love that i could have a beer with my dinner...thats the greatest thing in the world...but shawna is only 18 so she couldnt really get in anywhere...but it was fun

after walking like 2 miles to this bar where they wouldnt even let shawna in the builing, we wound up at a gas station where all these kids were hanging out...jon was so messed up it was so funny...shawna went to smoke so mee and jon hung out with these kids for a while... shawna got screwed over by those other kids but she stole their scooter...damn kids

got up sunday and went to the concert...fuck yeah!! got some beers at the concert which is just so nice...god i love that...we went to the main stage as soon as they opened the gates at liike 130 and stayed right in the front aaaaallllllllll day...3dd was sweet, gob was kool, so was finger 11...

i got my ass kicked as much as you would expect being in the front for about 8 hours straight...this one guy saved my life like 10 times...people for the most part were really nice...a few guys apologized for squashing mee...thats a little unusual...

i met this kool kid named josh...he was from like 4 hours north of where we were...he had kool dreds and a goatee and all...and he was cute too! i hung out with him for the last few bands...shawna was in the front and jon was in and out drinking all day...so i hung out with josh...

tool came out and it was flashback to metallica at woodstock...fucking massive craziness everywhere...it was awesome...but i was worn out from fighting for air all day so i couldnt hold my ground too well...so i was about ready to give up...especially after i practically hung myself on some huge guys arm...

so the easiest way out was up and out the front...so i asked some guy to put mee up....so he did....then some big dude was also crowd surfing got like bounced up and he landed on mee and we fell through everyone onto the floor of the pit...lets just say that was the scariest moment of my life...i am on my back on the gorund under a fat guy with all these people not seeing mee and stepping on my head and shit...oh my god was that freaky...

someone helped mee out and put mee up so i could get out...and i stayed in the back....i lost shawna and jon (but we figured out where to meet if we got split up) and i lost josh and his friend too...he asked mee to smoke with them but i told him i didnt smoke, but they were going to come out with mee and we were gonna chill...but of course i lost them when i got DROPPED....i saw him before we left though...that was kool....oh well

anyways in addition to losing everyone i knew....i lost MY ID!! stupid mee needed it to get beer so i brought it in...and when i got dropped it fell out...some wonderful canadian boy found it and is mailing it back to mee...i think i love him....yes i do...

i thought i wasnt going to be able to get back into the country though...that wallet had my lisence, my fdu id and my ss card in it...all i had was a birth certificate...we spent like over an hour looking for it all over the place...well mee and shawna did cause we couldnt find jon...

we helped some guys try to jump start their car and we chilled with them for a while...then we walked around more (actually limped around more) and when we came back jon was at he car....

this isnt dont but i am tired...ill finish tomorrow....

 

 

CANADA Continued

we made it back to the hotel and got cleaned up a little and i passed out...after my leg decided to lock up like a bitch....fucker didnt feel like standing for 10 hours i guess....whatever...

so we get up the next morning and pack up and make some phone calls to try to get my wallet...but all the offices the security guards told us to call are closed cause its CANADA DAY just my luck....so i finally get a hold of some operator chick and she is like "well do you have to get back to the states today??" umm yeah i have to work tomorrow... damn kids...hah

so she puts some supervisor on the ohone and he says i should be ok with a birth certificate if i have other people to vouch for mee....ok...so we leave

we wind up in a movie theater at one point...we were going to see the fast and the furious but i guess its not out in canada yet...so we got some food

jon was drunk as shit and he kept bugging the waitresses and stuff...it was really funny but i was kinda embarrassed...its only funny for you long, eh? (haha i love when canadians say eh....heheheh) so yeah we get to the border and we go in the duty free store..there's not taxes on anything cause its between the 2 borders i guess

jon wants beer to bring home and they wont let him buy it cause he isnt 21...so he gets some guys to buy it for him...so now we are smuggling in beer and mee with out any id...im like fuck we are screwed...so maybe i came up with this plan subconciously or maybe i just have no sense of direction but i tell shawna to go the wrong way....we wind up going back to canada...so we tell the border guard and she gives us a pass saying that we never left the custody of canadian customs.... WE WERE NEVER IN CANADA so they dont need to search the car or check IDs...HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS THAT?

so we drive all freaking day...wave canadian flags at truck drivers, and hold up "HONK IF YOU LOVE MULLETS" signs to everyone we pass...we got a l ot of laughs...and the finger...stupid people piss mee off...assholes...

yeah we get home at 1ish and the first thing my parents say is "we took your keys, title and registration away and you are not going to work tomorrow" fuck that!...i wouldnt have come home if i didnt have to work!! they give mee this whole speech about how they have to protect mee from getting in trouble and blah blah blah...

if i get myself in a situation like this...i dont want mommy and daddy to kiss it all better...thats so stupid...so i wouldnt let them got o sleep until i got my shit back

i went to dmv in the morning and get a new license...and all is good now

here's the weird part

this kid found my wallet at the concert and tracked mee down and mailed it back!! i love canadians...they are the nicest people...he didnt even take the $5 that was in there....i didnt think there were people that nice in this world...maybe just not in the US...hah...he also sent mee his business card...he's a tarot card reader...HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

if i knew the words...i would sing O CANADA right now

all i can say is i love canada!! they have nice people, good concerts and a lower drinking age...and STRONG BEER...what more could a girl ask for???
