This is how the world works.

So I thought this was really mind blowing, but Laurel wasn’t that impressed.

Last year we camped with random people at All Good. So random that if we had been walking around 10 minutes later Matt may not have been walking around outside his camp and wouldn’t have invited us to camp with him and his group. So we, total strangers, camped with them at All Good 12 and had an awesome time.

Now move on to All Good 13 and we’re camped at the top of a hill overlooking the entire camp. A photographer walks close to us and takes a picture of the sunset. Being good All Gooders we invite him to sit with us for a minute. I think we might have explained that we were looking for our friends from last year, but I’m not sure.

So now move on to yesterday when I find his card under some papers in the living room and give him an email about getting a copy of those pictures. First thing he sees on my flickr page is that we were hanging out with his friends from Blacksburg …Matt, Becca, and Liz … and the same people we camped with the year before!

Maybe the All good community is smaller than I think and everyone knows each other? But I think that randomly meeting 2 people out of 30,000 on 2 seperate years that know each other is INCREDIBLE!

Next year we’re not leaving it up to chance. I’m fiends with Becca on Facebook and we’re making plans ahead of time.

WEST COAST WRAPUP

Entertainment, The Interweb

Sometimes I want to move to the west coast… then I remember that I would be surrounded by these people.

Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

This is the coolest Total Recall poster ever.

Total Recall

When I find awesome things ont he internet they are usually horribly expensive. But unfortunatley for my ba nk account this one is only $30… how could I NOT buy it at that price. I know we don’t really have any more wall space… and I just bought a bunch of prints while we were at ALL GOOD… but look at it.

JUST LOOK AT IT DAMMIT

It might be the perfect combination of illustration/nostalgia/printmaking/poster/kitsch… and don’t forget awesome. So now it’s on the way to my house. I’ll have to decide what Kevin Smith poster gets put in storage in favor of this one.

Impromptu Nats Game

Entertainment, Random

After setting up some lights and beiing generally frustrated with our frame lock system. Wade and I decided to check out the Nationals game last night. It was a really fun time! They’ve set up a “Beer Garden” out side, with a band… and cornhole courts. That’s right Cornhole… the game of champions. So after spending the first two innings schooling fools in some cornhole we decided to go inside. It was like the rapid fire tour of the stadium. First couple innings we sat at “The Red Porch”. Which isn’t bad, Its a really good view from basically dead center field.

You can have a good time for “Cheap”, it’s still the $6 beers, but if the ticket was only $5-10 then it makes it worth it.
After a while we went up to our seats. We weren’t sitting on a light pole or anything, but they were up there. Got a Ben’s half smoke and took in the next two innings. Still not a bad view from up there and the glass railings are a nice touch.

We left after the 7th inning because we had been at work all day and wanted to get out of there. The Nats rallied to win the game (shocking) without us anyway. I think I’ll go back. It’s not a bad happy hour scene, but with out happy hour prices.
