| | I have spent the majority of this morning sitting in a computer lab
studying for a Comm 422 exam. It mostly deals with editing sentences,
editing news stories, checking for misspelled words and other things
teachers do on a daily basis. I am not SUPER worried about it and I
think I will be OK, but still, it is an exam. I should be getting my
game face on. Instead I am posting on a neglected Xanga while listening
to a band called 8mm. Quite good by the way.
Yesterday Christina and I had the very fortunate opportunity to see a
taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. To say I enjoyed it would be
a huge understatement. We waited in line for about 3 hours but it was
totally worth it. Plus, lines don't really bother us. We are line
people. Roller coasters, restraunts and, of course, concerts. We dont
mind lines. We talked to the people around us a little but it was nice
to just hang out and shoot the breeze, just her and I. Since she is
working crazy hours during the week, and I am gone many weekends with
the band, every moment we have together is important. But once we got
in I incredibly surprised at how the show was set up. We thought we
were going to be in a huge auditorium, sitting in the nosebleed
section. Oh no. It was a VERY small studio that held 275 people.
(Though it looked like it only held about 100 or 150 max.) We ended up
sitting about 20 feet away from the desk and I found myself always
smiling. There was some guy who came out before the show started to try
and get the crowd all riled up and he was very very funny. Just your
typical pick-on-the-uptight-white-guys-in-the-audience type of act but
it was extremely funny. Finally, Jon Stewart came out and talked to us
and fielded a few questions before the show kicked off. Maybe it was
because I was sitting there watching it happen or the fact there were
so many Ohio/ Columbus/ Ohio State jokes, but I laughed extremely hard.
Quote of the day? The Republicans were talking about how if we elected
democrats, they will raise taxes and do all these crazy things. They
showed a yard-banner for a candidate named: Mr. Dumbfuck
McDoesntexsist. I dunno, I laughed extremely hard. But it was one of
those things that you can look back on in 20 years and tell your kids
about. I suppose that I might be over exaggerating, but still it was
one of the coolest things I have been a part of.
Finally, this Saturday, The Great Transparency will having our EP release show at Gloryland Church of the Nazerene (
3570 Coonpath Road, Lancaster, Ohio 43130) .
It is only $5 to get in plus you can get a copy of the TGT disc for
only $7 (I think). We worked extremely hard on this and it would mean a
whole lot for you to come if you can. If you have any questions, you
can get a hold of me.
Anyway, listen to the Format.
