Summer Day 1

 Longest day of the year baby! 

Woke up at 5:30, which was 30 minutes before my alarm so I went back to sleep. Got up at 6, was out by 6:20. Run at 7, not sure what the pace was but it was already hot so I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 10/mile. Hung out a while then went to the gym to shower. Went to the office, worked on a couple of things then went downstairs to play Catan.

Got a call from the psychiatrists' office. Got an appointment set up for...late July. Well it will have to do. I'm feeling fine right now and if previous experience means anything I'll either be fine then or be on a downswing. So we'll see. If I'm fine right now, why rush things? Also they won't let me update my insurance info on the website, which is annoying. 

Filled out some forms, did a bit of work and then went to Taco Bell since it was next to the first concert site I was visiting. First concert was some guy with a drum machine. He was fine, not much of a crowd, because techno noise isn't a big draw I guess. Next guy was some singer and he was backed by what I assume were tracks he made himself and I was not a fan. His friends were. Then since I had an hour to kill and it was hot, I went over to the library to read some papers.

After that I headed over to the park for the next set of concerts (8 bands from 3-9, with 15 minute breaks between them). On the way I noticed the tire I patched the other day was starting to feel flat. Anyway, first band was a noise rock gig with just a bass and a drum like Lightning Bolt. Pretty fun stuff. Next band was an alternative/post-punk group. Was fine, with cringe lyrics. Then we got a garage band/classicish punk band which was really fun. This was followed by some one-man band with a guitar, singing to what I assume is backing tracks he recorded in studio. He used a lot of echo on his vocals which is an interesting choice when you're shouting. Then we got another punk band (a high energy and less garage sounding one), followed by an art student indie band (I like them more live than their studio recordings), a post-hardcore band (of the 2000s sort, so metalcore influenced) and finally another harder side of alternative band. Post-hardcore band had a mosh pit but I was too tired to join in. At this point the sun was setting and that looked nice over the lake with all the haze from poor air quality.

Then I walked around downtown until I found a pump to fill my tire and rode home. Ate dinner and worked on this. I'm really tired so I'll be going to bed soon. I did not finish my D&D application survey so I guess I'll do that tomorrow.
