One Month Out

So this weekend, whilst taking flyers to a few local stores around the valley with one of my trustee Street Teamers, Jamie, I realized that the Festival is almost a month away…and my breathing sort of paused for a minute (notice that I capitalize the word Festival…ha. I don’t know if I’m the only one who does that, if I was told some time ago, or if it’s common knowledge to capitalize words when referring to such greatness...?) Anyway, so I sort of stopped breathing for a half of a second and got really excited. Now when I get excited I tear up a little, which isn’t good when driving so I immediately ceased the excitement and continued the flyer-dropping-off endeavor.

But now. It’s officially one month away. (To anyone who is working on this Festival and is reading this and is reminded of that very fact - please pause, take a deep breath…and get excited!!) and to those of you who, in one month, will be waking up (possibly with a bit of a head ache from watching Gov't Mule the night before and most likely NOT getting to bed at a reasonable hour)…get even more excited. Wow – just writing that made me think of last year and how much freaking fun it was, I can’t wait! My buddies and I thought about camping this year, still might actually. We’d just make sure to keep our tents tied down REALLY GOOD. Why would I be such a stickler you ask? Well last year we had what some would call a “microburst” pass through and try to take everything with it. I have lived in Arizona for my entire life and never have I experienced such a thing and let me just tell you that “little microburst” wasn’t so little. The Southeast has hurricanes, the Midwest has tornados and we have “little microbursts”. Ok, I realize that it didn’t compare even slightly to the catastrophes in other parts of the country, but it really was crazy…take a little looksey. And either hope that it doesn’t happen again this year...or tie everything down and enjoy it!

So new little ditty I'm going to try = what I'm listening to right now: Toubab Krewe - Bamana Niya. I think it might be one of my favorites from them. Yea. Probably my favorite.

right so it's time to stop blogging and do some real work...and i'm out.
