And I Thought America Loved the 80's...

After landing Thursday, finding an apartment Friday, getting shithoused by 11:30 Friday, Taking care of lease applications Saturday morning, and getting my bearings, Mark's friend, Dave, is up From Sydney and is in charge of the Smirnoff sampler girls for a festival called Park Life. Now, Mark had warned me about the kids loving "Fluoro", but I didn't take him seriously.

I am here to tell you. Imagine a day festival filled with 18 year olds in Fluorescent Pinks and Yellows running around on whatever drugs and booze mix they chose that morning and dancing to techno. "Sounds like Hell" is an accurate description. Give me Then Again, Hairbangers, Too White Crew, and a beer please.

Mark, Dave, and I proceed to try and drink ourselves to a point that this dress is acceptable and fail miserably. By 9:30, Mark and I are swaying and it is time for McDonald's and home.

Woke up Early Sunday morning and went down to the beach.

Needless to say, my first weekend was interesting.
