Raving Amicks

so, my financial situation has gone through some interesting ups and downs this past week. on the up, i got a second, side job, which i will explain in the following paragraph. posing a serious drain on my finances is the fact that 3 checks which i wrote for rent/utilities, etc. got lost in the mail, and for some reason i didn’t realize that they hadn’t been cashed. this led me to uh, overspend. also, my meany pants bank charged me 30 dollars PER check just to get them all stopped. this has made me learn the important lesson of always trying to combine things onto one check. so that’s the end of that.

anyways, with the good news, this past wednesday i was hanging out with my friend josh at my house, practically falling asleep from boredom and exhaustion. josh is this crazy hippie dude who likes to go backpacking alone in death valley, and he’s also been a techie for the cher/village people show. basically he’s always full of really strange and entertaining stories. well, wednesday, he happened to be working as a techie for the same company that gave him the cher gig, only this time he was working at the aerosmith/lenny kravitz show at the tacoma dome. it turns out his boss said he could bring a friend. soooo…even though i was totally dead and dying, i ended up spending my wednesday night watching the entire aerosmith show from about 75 feet backstage, taking down the whole stage afterward and packing it into 9 semi trucks, pushing Joe Perry’s box of guitars around while praying i don’t like, drop them, and making friends with a whole lot of middle aged bearded roadie type people. For all this- working from 10pm until 3 in the morning- i earned about 47.50 dollars, a free t-shirt, and a new job. It was a pretty sweet random experience, I must say.

Anyways, hope you all are having a good week!

Steph
