Whee. It was a weekend. Well, sort of.

Headed out to Ellensburg on Thursday afternoon, it was a nice fast drive. Jesse and Kevin caught up with us outside Hood River, so we stopped for dinner with them at Miner's (burgers the size of a small hubcap) and swam in the hotel pool. State duet performance with Evan on Friday went pretty well, we could have been better in tune. Oh well, still got a I,I,II... great for a junior and freshman at state. The drive home seemed much longer and much boring, didn't do anything on Friday night back at home.

Saturday wasn't bad overall, got some work done around the house. Got a call from Kevin around 9 to come rescue him and Ashlie from the white out dance (my prediction: it would suck. Correct.) Stayed at the dance for a while longer than I would have liked because we couldn't really leave... anyway... went to Sharis afterwards. Heh... Good story here... Our waitress comes to the table and points out two people making out on the sidewalk outside. "Why don't you tap on the window?" So, Ashlie taps on the window, and they both turn and look in. We finish eating, pay, and walk outside... guess who's waiting? The guy was there with one of his friends. I think the conversation went something like this:
"Did you think that was funny?" - Them
"Ummm... yea, actually." - Us
"It was all me." - Ashlie
"We're gunna beat the **** out of these two **** ****" - Them
"I'm sorry, they were drinking earlier... they really don't mean it." - Tough Guy's girlfriend
*is he always such a winner, or is he just that unique of a person when he's drunk?* - My thoughts, which remained unsaid since I'm not quite sure if I could outrun them to the car.
Anyway, we left, and Ashlie gave the guy the finger as we drove by. He gave chase, but there's no way he'd ever catch an Audi on foot. Very, very fun.

Sunday was another interesting day. Jesse, Kevin and I spent 3 hours looking for the perfect material for a movie screen. Tyvek is too expensive, nobody makes white tarps, canvas is too expensive, paper won't hold up... we eventually settled on insulating foam sheets with tyvek on the seams, painted it up and got it all put together. Yay. Have to test it this weekend, it better stay nice and sunny out. Also, if anyone has any good ideas for keeping what appears to be a small deer (or a goat...) off a 10x16 screen, I'd like to hear them. It takes a LOT of work to get it put up on end, like behind the garage, so I don't want do do that if we're going to be using it a lot... it's laying in a corner of the driveway right now. Quite a project.

Had to post something, but now I better go study for a few AP tests and such. Busy few weeks ahead.
