stop and smell the roses.

I think I forgot to mention just how wonderful my weekend was. I spent Friday night and most of Saturday crafting with Matt, he made a stencil and a lot of buttons, and I made a bunch of stamps! It was really nice to just relax and make stuff since it was our last weekend of peace before he leaves on tour for a month and a half. Did I mention I will miss him?

On Sunday he had a final for one of his dorky computer science classes, and we woke up at 7am to make sure we would make it on time. Everything is hilarious at 7am. I drove Matt to school and since its kind of out of the way, puttered around Hayward a bit until he was done. I tried to take a nap, went to a coffee shop and got a bagel with peanut butter, and some ginger spiced chai. YUM. Then I layed in the grass on campus and made daisy chains and talked to bees until Matt discovered me and declared that I was adorable and he was glad he stuck around till summer.

Apparently the sunshine, and flowers and bees make me do downright adorable things.

We left campus in search of sustenance in the form of in n out burger. We acquired.

I drank pink lemonade to my hearts content already full of bagel and peanut butter. Matt makes weird faces when he chews. We were headed to San Francisco for a BBQ at 1pm and made a stop off at 924 gilman to drop off some of the buttons I had made to raise funds!

If you would also like to design a button please send them my way and I will make them and drop them off! Some MMA kids came to the club early so I let them in, and stuck around while they set up their mats and junk on the ground to do kicking and punching on. COOL!

Matt and I headed to SF and got there just in time, we found a nice spot in the shade and after much maneuvering I managed to parallel park in said spot. We walked to the FUTURE (Avi's new house) and sprung into action!

We were some of the first people there, I was told that there would be BBQ and unfortunately no one there was actually punk enough to work a BBQ so me and Matt took the reigns.

Hipster kids can't BBQ. After a while I noticed that the only beverages in sight were ice cold beers, and me being the straight and alert punker that I am, decided to pillage the lemon tree for thirst quenchiness. I found a few good lemons, they were pretty deep in there, and some strawberries someone brought, and I also rummaged up some brown sugar from Avi's modest kitchen. I squeezed the lemons with my bare hands, and some kind soul brought me an emptied out patron tequilla bottle to mix my concoction in. Everyone seemed fascinated and probably a little disturbed as I squeezed the sticky lemons into the jug with my fists, Matt just giggled.

The lemonade turned out super good and everyone wanted some after a while. I raised a lot of eyebrows cause it had lots of huge chunks floating in it and probably looked more like embalming fluid than a beverage.

We saw lots of bands, ate veggie burgers and dogs, and walked to needles and pens zine boutique with Tessa. Then we ate at la Cumbra and returned to the FUTURE just in time for some weird ass jam band stuff. When we finally got home there was lots of relaxing and catching up on school work and finally sleep. Overall I give last weekend an A+.
