We did so much this weekend. I put an itemized list of it all on Chance's forum, but I think I'll go into more detail here.
Friday night began with happy hour with my coworkers. Nathan picked me up and took me to a house party the band was playing. It was full of what some people call "gypsy punks" and I call "hippies," because they're pretty much the opposite of what I call punk. In fact, they act, look, smell, and sing a lot like hippies do. Anyway, the Taxpayers' show was great and a few of my co-workers even came out to witness the madness. The hippies stayed upstairs for it. At the show, our friends Rob and Zach's new band the Atomic Butter Babes played for the first time in public, but it ended in tragedy when a beer that had been set on top of the amp toppled over into it. Our host stalked off unconsolable over his loss. Hopefully, Nathan will be able to fix it. He's not sure it's possible though.
Saturday, we went on a day hike in the woods in Washington, not far from here. We were hunting for Chanterelle mushrooms since a friend of ours is a hobby mycologist. I found two of them, which made me proud because those things cost $15 a pound in the grocery store. They're special. We also met a crazy mountain man and I got lost in the woods and Max slid down a mountainside when we were hiking off-trail. He seemed ok and in the end, I was found. (those events are not listed chronologically...I would never leave the trail if lost).
Saturday night the Taxpayers played another show, but a few things made it less than ideal. Mainly, the girl who opened the night was horrible. Sunday morning, we played soccer in the park, and then I spent the day cooking and cleaning because the boys were planning to come over to record a new record. As I was getting ready to start dinner in earnest, I noticed Max's eye looked bad, so I ended up taking him to the emergency vet. I got drops and a likely diagnosis, but it could actually be something serious if the drops don't clear it up. I hope my dog is ok and that he doesn't go blind or have nerve damage.
That's pretty much it for me. It was a packed weekend full of lots of fun and a few disappointments. Time for this girl to get to bed.

That's a heck of a weekend. Plus, you sound like the wife when it comes to the dogs catching something. She always seems to think the worse, whereas I think it's nothing and they'll get over it. Life out here is dull.
Yeah, I feel like everyone thinks I'm totally crazy for taking him in. But I figure possible blindness is no joke, especially for a dog.
Hope Max is okay... I haven't been on here in so long! I don't have my bookmarks anymore; I really need to get internet again at my house. Call me when you get a chance!
