Winter Carnival

This weekend was pretty fun despite its uncertainty at first. I went up to winter carnival not knowing anyone on the bus, was surrounded by freshmen that were all extremely hungover (what are you doing with your lives?), and didn't know anyone to shread with. It all worked out somehow though. I went through the park by myself on Friday and met this dude Adam that was willing to let me sleep on his couch. Luckily i didn't need that cause I just found some freshmen that let me crash on their floor in the hotel. Still though, it was awesome to find someone that after 3 park laps would let me crash.

That night we (me and all the freshmen) went to the bar and then the hot tub. It's truly ridiculous what kind of crappy-ass fake ID will work in a mountain bar. And the hot tub was also equally ridic because they all just brought beers down and were grouped like 20 deep in a 10 person hot tub. So, I got my grown man on and went to sit in the other hot tub which had bubble jets that were working and a group of fire fighters and their wives that were getting rowdy on vacation. Much better time than sitting in that no-bubble-ass-havin hot tub with a bunch of 18 year olds.

Next day, I met up with Mary (the girl I convinced to enter the rail contest who ended up getting 2nd) and her friend Tara and we destroyed the Winter Park mountain. It was snowing the whole day and we did plenty of tree runs and had a blast. Those chikas rip. It was awesome to shread with other people who just get hyped and love riding. There was alot of hollerin on the lift and a little r-kelly serenading as well.

That night, after taking an hour long trip into town and back for drank and taco bell, I started sippin before the concert. I have to say that when you know only about 500 people in your own grade and only a handful in other grades, you feel pretty weird chillin in hotel rooms with predominantly sophomores and juniors. I did meet up with Bob Johnsen who is a longtime friend. We went to middle school together at ASP and somehow, after splitting ways, both came to DU. I never really get to hang out with him, so it was nice to party with someone i knew so long ago.
Then we went to the concert. Will opened up and, although I was really jealous of him, did a really good job I thought. He worked the crowd well and his playlist was top notch. Then Milkman came on and shut it down. I actually didn't enjoy his set all that much, but it was really good regardless.

I then went back, somehow got a spot in a bed, slept, and got a ride back to campus in a car and not on the grayhound. All in all, it was a great weekend.

It's currently snowing now and I hope it keeps it up in the mountains for the rest of the week. They sure need it.

I'm tired so no music, but I'll be back soon with some jams for everyone.
