Monday - 5:20 p.m.
I am very tired. We pulled back into town around eight-thirty in the morning with Jasper doing the last bit of the driving. I sat in the right chair and stayed awake with him while everyone else slept in the back. It was a great trip and I still have no idea how we managed to avoid getting arrested.
While I was gone, someone broke out the window in my bathroom and stole random things from my apartment. They didn’t take the TV, because I’m sure they didn’t have a forklift. But I’m not sure why they didn’t take my computer, stereo or some of my CDs. They did however empty out my refrigerator of all its beer, take my shower curtain, and my personally autographed Derek Jeter model Louisville Slugger. They also took all my toilet paper and paper towels. I put a piece of cardboard over the window in my bathroom and swept up the glass.
On Saturday night, the last night of SxSW, Calvin Walker, Jasper and I went to a showcase together and met up again with my friend Kim for a little bit. She left after a few songs to go see a different show and I’m glad I got to see her. I’m a lot taller than she is, and I’m glad she was able to put up with my drunken stupor. I’m also glad that Calvin Walker was too drunk to do something creepy. We shook hands and said goodbye, and for some reason I feel like I should have hugged her.
It was a great end to a great week. I can’t remember the last time I had such a fantastic journey. It’s been too long.
Back here, spring arrived while I was gone. Who knows? Even with the break-in, maybe things are looking up.
