This is Josh’s last semester of college (dear God, we HOPE so). I’ve known Josh since I was 19 and he was 20…back than he had just dropped out for the first (second?) time. Granted, every time he dropped out he was moving on to bigger and better things. In fact, if he hadn’t dropped out the third (fourth?) time and ran off to Summit County to be a snowboard bum, I would not have followed him from Seattle to the Land of Snow. There was a lot more allure for me to run away to the mountains back then…and he had a great place. But still, I’ve only known the man to be working on his degree….what will it be like when he’s finally finished?
In other news, after taking a week long (much needed) break, getting back to The L Project was fantastic. Yeah, there are some humps to work out. Yeah, I maybe, probably, lost one of three male dancers to the police force. (This is largely due to the riots that occured in my neighborhood last week. Yeah I know: RIOTS, WHAT THE HELL?). But, overall, the project is going well. Below are some pics I took last night.

Okay, who knew that Fort Collins was such a dangerous place to live? Is this what happens when you congreagate a bunch of college kids into a small town? Should I be wary of these things in Eugene, or is it just some sort of drug they put in that CO water?
I also wanted to add (off the subject) that THREE TIMES today I kept thinking I saw you, even though I know that wasn’t remotely possible, apparently there was a herd of people out there today that have very similar back of the heads/slight profiles/posture as you in San Diego today. It was very weird. At the show I went to tonight, one of the Mara fake outs was even with a very tall fair boy. Weird. I must have Mara on the brain.

Dearest Kimberly, YES, this is entirely due to immature college kid behavior, so be aware but not worried. We live nearby several large dorms, which changes the neighborhood, let me tell ya. Luckily we live on two very busy roads, and the kids don’t come around too close for fear their drunken asses will get run over.

Oh, my dear, dear naive lady friends. Don’t you know that college kids have been doing stupid shit since Jesus mooned the Romans at Graduation 10 B.C.? Has it really been that long since the two of you left campus? You may be in for a rude re-awakening, Kimberly. College students are the world’s most beloved delinquents, and we tolerate them due to their combined purchasing power. Don’t play-ah hate!
p.s. Hi Kimberly!

C’mon, what happened to that high brow world of academia where they wore those awful black robes and posed phlisopical questions at each other and made up words like “existentialism?” I thought we were all supposed to get over lame pranks in high school, so that by the time we got to college and could be tried as an adult, we were over it. Besides, I’m not as worried in Eugene. Bunch of pot smoking hippies, they probably get lost on their way out the door. And I made sure we will live no where *near* any dorms

We actually live about 1/2 mile from any dorms, but the shitty houses full of trust-afarians are only a few blocks away. That’s where all the poop has been hitting the fan. Oh, and this is COLORADO- evidently, pot just fuels the ruckus.
