Look at this picture! Look how young I was! This is taken in the basement of our Monroe St. House, near the lettered streets. This is after a Autumn Poetry practice. I don't know what I'm doing, but I like this picture. I hated living in that house, though I have some interesting memories--and I DID like living with David Woods. We were sort of the butt of everyone's jokes. We were liberal, while almost everyone else was not. Was really NOT. Like ignorant about anything that didn't fit inside their sheltered suburban, Christian bubble. I left six months into living there with extreme writers block, no money, and a broken heart (or ego, I couldn't tell you which was which then...but I'd bet it was more of an ego thing). Anyway, I left.

We'd practice in the basement, right next to the bag and box full of discarded, nondescript porn, next to the hole in the concrete wall (that looked like someone out of a war zone (just the hole...nothing else). So, we had an upstairs neighbor that used to come down in the middle of the day and ask us to stop playing, one time he said, "Can you practice with acoustic guitars?" We laughed at him and said, "We're a rock band, dude."

So, this is moments after Autumn Poetry ran into the ocean. Our bass player, had the keys on his belt loop and lost them. We had to find some PVC from a landscaper and unlock the door through a cracked window. It was quite a feat. Anyway, he's smoking, and we're all smoking outside the frame, because our smokes were still in the car. Wow. We never let our bass player live that one down. Though, we probably should've he was having a rough tour, and actually, was probably on his way out. I miss that kid. Kevin, I miss you. Later dudes,

AUTUMN POETRY!!!!!!!!!! I miss listening to that cd on the bus until you would get on, and then I would turn it off so I was less of a creeper!
Worst Lyrics EVER.
Best rides EVER.
Biggest Creeper EVER.
That picture is of Chad. I meant to say "Chad is smoking" instead of "He is smoking" or whatever I said. Sorry for any confusion...I think Kevin actually is taking the picture, maybe caleb, whatever, kevin is not in the frame...
"We're a rock band, dude." Oh man, that was some funny shit. I totally forgot about the hermit who lived on the second floor. I remember he got a little upset over our X-mas rager - perhaps rightfully so.
I need to start a Last.fm page for AP.
