Second Half Of Monterey Bay And First Half Of Fresno
So, I'm just going to go ahead and say it: The weather in Monterey Bay yesterday sucked. I don't have a problem talking (um, complaining) about the weather on this here blog. If you think about it, the weather is the most common "small talk" topic, so it can't be that wrong, right?
Anyway, it was cold and rainy all day yesterday, and it is 48 degrees warmer today in Fresno. I guess the days of perfect temps (George, Wa, and St. Helens, OR, I'm looking at you) are over. Well, I knew it was probably too good to last. Oh, well.
As for yesterday, I finally got off the bus for a while and took the shuttle downtown with Lycia, Jess from Girlz Garage, Jake from Mayday Parade and Zack from All Time Low. We decided to hit up a sushi joint, which, sadly, turned out to be only so-so. The best part? It was overlooking the harbor, and there were two otters playing in the water right outside our window, which was super rad. Later, we walked around a neighborhood street fair in search of a Starbucks, and ended up finding a local coffee joint which was much better (I think it was called Plume's). I had a delicious lemon bar and my stomach was back to being happy after the so-so sushi (try saying THAT three times fast).
Everyone was in a pretty crummy mood because of the weather, so I just did some more work on the bus before calling it an early night. We had an early bus call (which we've had every night since I've been out), so I've actually been getting a pretty decent amount of sleep. Bus sleep is weird, though. I always wake up a few times, which I hardly ever do at home, and I always have really, really, really weird dreams. I could try to explain the one I had last night, but it probably would just seem like gibberish to anyone else, even though it seemed totally legit to me, though. There was one part, though, where my Toyota Corolla had the ability to fold itself into a travel coffee mug. Weird.
This morning we arrived in Fresno (aka "the furnas") and Luis and I have been trying to keep cool ever since. You guys should seriously come by and high-five Luis for all the hard work he's done for the AP Tent this summer, along with his rad recycling efforts. I especially feel bad as today (and for the next couple days) I've been only popping in and out of the tent while I work on an assignment. Can't say much more about that now, but it's been interesting juggling the tent, office work and a story all while on the road.
Anyway, I think I better jet as we have a signing with the Academy Is... in half an hour, and the line's already well under way. If we weren't right next to the super loud skate stage again today, I think I'd ask the people in line to play mad libs with that band's name for a web video: The Academy Is... (verb); The Academy Is... (adj.), etc. But that's just the nerdy English major in me coming out.
