So glad Messner got a good set of school laptops for like two weeks. During my TA period I can just sit here listening to streaming radio on iTunes and surfing the web. So I've got the Gos-Psy Trance radio station on, and figured I'd updated my sitDiary, because for one I haven't in a while and secondly I've not updated from school in a long time. Today's evil.com is pretty good. www.evil.com (or if you're looking at this post-May 27th, http://www.evil.com/archives/20050527.htm) I love Memorial Day weekend. Here in the greater Seattle area, that means Folklife, the biggest gathering of hippies this half of the year (the other two are the Labor Day festival Bumbershoot, and the summer-or-autumn-but-we-don't-really-care Hempfest). And this year I can get credit for social studies for going to Folklife. Which is rather nice, as I enjoy such things immensely. Brief Summary Of What Folklife Means: Many diverse people will be there. It's a representation of heritage and ethnic culture. Displays fill the Seattle Center with all kinds of international music, food, acts, trinkets and goodies. Streetmusicianing is allowed and loosely regulated. It is the biggest free exchange of money imaginable, and the government can't tax any of it because the word price is replaced with "suggested donation." It is wonderful, and you may just find me there this weekend playing my flute or my guitar. Also, it's insanely sunny and we're having a drought. Which is a nice change of pace for the western Washingtonian. I get to wear my once-every-several-years (summer) clothes! Only problem is they're too girly and too small. In any case, I'm having a great amount of fun just wasting time, as I have very little homework this weekend. However, I do have some and I'm off to go finish it now so I can spend the whole weekend at Folklife with my mom and various other cool people. Final Note: If you're going to visit Seattle, do it on Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day weekend. Or look up Hempfest and go hang out at that (the official purpose of Hempfest is a gathering of businesspeople who support the legalization of marijuana - however it's nearly always populated by a large number of people going all out to look like stoners, because, hell, they can). And in any case, have a good weekend, and avoid long car trips. Love and hippie hugs from Eli Liz Iza Zab Abe Beth <3
