The last week or so has been pretty crazy, between getting ready for our trip on Thursday and fun stuff. On the Fourth of July, Brock took Jay and me to his home town of State Center, Iowa (it is not really the geographic center - go figure) and we went to his friend’s house. His family bought a BUNCH of fireworks, so we just sat in lawn chairs and watched them, and we lit some Roman candles, too, and it was a great time. Then several different people came into town (Marina Hardy, Big Nurse) and we were going to their show/hanging out with them/letting them crash in our place as the cases may be, so that was pretty mad. And we are leaving for Chicago in three days for our summer vacation. It’s going to be fun, I just hope it doesn’t leave us homeless and starving when we get back.

T-Minus 9 Days
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Until our summer vacation. We are busy getting stuff ready, printing shirts, making zines. We bought some Polaroid film on E-Bay for making zines on the road. Apparently Polaroid has stopped making instant film, so we had to pay like $60 for 5 packs of film, which I guess isn’t that much more than it was initially.
Also, we’ve been printing a ton of shirts to take with us. My grandma gave me an awesome sewing machine (our old one kind of broke from sewing paper with it), so I also made a neat dress, and did some sewing on some shirts for Brock and Jay. I may post pictures of those soon. I have kind of been wanting to go around and take pictures of a bunch of stuff I made and post it, but … one of these days.
