bethb's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- weekend plans shot to hell let's review..... this is what i previously posted: tonight! t shirt screening fun time! tomorrow! fort reno begins! break out the rain goblins! and then the summer soiree at adrienne's! sunday! !!! at the black cat. things are looking up.
this is what actually happened: shirt screening, actually was fun. 3 horrible movies were played. fort reno had it's first show. it actually went flawlessly (weather fantastic, bands nice and on time) and then... (you should make the DUUUUUUUTTTT-DTTTTTT-DUTTTTTTTT noise in your head when you get to the that elipse. seriously. do it, it's ok. i'll wait.) ok, so then i'm drinking water and in my usual suave style, dribble some down my shirt, and hey! lookit that! the design ran. the design ran? wait, that's not supposed to happen, so i lick my thumb and smear brandon's shirt. at this moment, we're all assuming that we just didn't iron them enough to heat set them. right? wrong. i call home to ryan in a blind panic and ryan reads the jar of ink. water soluble. for paper and cardboard. ink remains water soluble when dry. it might as well have continued "will actually BURN holes in clothes. and cause cancer in puppies and grammas. will steal your lunchmoney when you're not looking" it is so bad. it mostly washes out, which is kind of good, i guess. but i'm not entirely convinced we're going to be able to reuse these shirts. i was in complete panic mode about the stupid shirts so i almost didn't go to adriene's, but i did. and it was fun. and sunday i dealt with one band canceling and trying to find another in it's wake, and then took the bus to georgetown to go to the art store for some honest to god textile ink and some more silk screening. and....i didn't make it to the !!! show because i was so fucking tired of dealing with people. i really wish i had gone, but the lure of the nap was too strong. so, basically, someone kick me when i'm excited about a weekend, ok? 9:11 a.m. - 2004-06-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
