Chocolate Kaluah Geertzian Anthro?

Ok, so now that the 1st exam is overwith
[which was exceptionally easy... so easy i'm concerned that there was a catch. AND our prof made us chocolate kaluah cheesecake to eat during the exam!! wicked]
i can tell you about my weekend.

the concert was amazing.
lenny and i drove down sunday afternoon, took a quick tour of the casino, since we were staying at the casino hotel. wandered barrington and found an irish pub for a small supper and some beer. bar-hopped a few streets over towards the metro center, then wandered up to our sky-box in time to meet the host before the opening band. [Joel Plasket.. whom none of the 8 of us in the box had ever heard of...?]. the crowd was in great spirits, filling the entire center with clouds of sweet-smelling smoke, wafting up to the box.
got free food and beer in the box, and an awesome view from right over top of the stage. about 3/4 of the way through, our host offered us left-over lower bowl seats, so we switched it up and caught the tail end in the crowd, jumping and dancing for the 3 encores!! of two songs each.
..gord was in rare form, on 3 separate occasions riding his mic stand like a pony.
afterwards, we headed over to the economy shoeshop, where we ran into another couple that had been in the box with us, and were joined by lenny's freind theo from halifax.

the next day, we headed out and met with carolyn's boyfriend andre, because we had agreed to transport Kitcha- her second pet cockatile- back to sackville with us. then took a quick trip out to tantallon and had lunch with mom and dad before the long drive back, and arrived just in time to study a few hours for my 9am exam today!
whew. ok, so yea. awesome.
i love it.
