last night was cosmic trip in cleveland. this is gonna be kind of long cause i 
am incredibly bored at the computer lab and i don't feel like studying.

mike brown shows up at my house around 6:15. we listen to the new moby single 
and fuck off for a bit, then we embark on our journey to get mike's contact 
lens case. 

we go to his house. i log in and check my mail. meanwhile, he is playing th 
remix of debbie gibson's electric youth--> i just now realize that altern8 used 
the same 303 line in armageddon. wow.

we are then on our way to the continent, a mall at the northern tip of columbus 
that has a bunch of little shops and expensive clothing stores. we immediately 
go to sunsports, and all of us (mike brown, myself, and titonton duvante--my 
roommate and bandmate) are peaking out on the t-shirts they have... a bunch of 
split, fresh jive, stussy, world industries, and other skate companies.. we try 
on this shirt that shirt.  titonton gets this dope split shirt.. i say, "that 
shirt,, is something else..." mike and i get the same FJ fresh jive shirt 
except his is tan and mine is black. after all of that, we then get some food. 
i had a indian combination platter. mike has a steak sandwich, and titonton 
eats hush puppies.

FINALLY, after titonton is done gawking and chasing after a bunch of high 
school girls (he is 21), we get on 71 north and make our way up to cleveland. 
we listen to the tapes that david applegate sent of mark e quark from san diego 
mixing.. god, that guy is smooth.... i am rather impressed. 

because of titonton's silliness, i have to give him the "johny cuts" nickname 
because all he does with the cassette is cut back and forth between the am 
noise and the cassette. it sounds really live, but it is funnier than anything. 
mike brown get the "curly-b" nickname for his little dreadlocked curls... 

we arrive in cleveland at 11:45. i go up and hear a bunch of dope breakbeat 
techno. guess who is spinning>?  dieselBoy.... we say hi, etc... i haven't seen 
the mf for over three months... it feels good..

i meet up with a bunch of my old friends from high school... as well as some 
guys from olmstead--kevin cunningham. he is such the raving nut. few people are 
as silly as he is..

i also see kelly pickens, who is damian's girlfriend. i can't believe how happy 
i was... seeing old friends, etc

i also met a whole bunch of new cats.. hooked up some lucrative deals for a 
rave in december at a children's palace...

i realize how FUCKING GOOD damian is.. he has been mixing for the most, maybe 6 
months. doesn't own his own decks (this was the guy who thought he was gonna 
mix with a few CD players a few months ago) and he is one of the smoothest dj's 
i have heard there. in fact, i can't think of seeing a better dj at the smart 
bar. he is THAT GOOD. 

the night went on and on...i danced like fool with titonton--> this includes 
giving him a piggy back ride, stealing each others winter hats, rolling on each 
others backs, rolling around on the floor, having mock seizures, and acting out 
all of the songs... 

>>WE ARE DUMB!!!<<

otherwise, i meet up with tareq from cas western reserve, i meet marla kammer 
(again) and also golden boy from the cleveland Free net.. talk to a lot of 
people about our shit, their shit....

god, what fun i had...

before we knew it, it was 4 am and people were exiting the club... mike brown 
got a few pictures of us during the night...we said our goodbyes and went on 
the road back to columbus (sucked cause it was snowing again..) and we 
eventually got back in columbus at 7 am. mike spent the night and i had to work 
at 11 am. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i had probably one of the best times in my life. there was such a good vibe 
going on, it was unbelievable. the music was the shit, the people were 
generally happy, and it seems like cleveland and ohio for that matter could 
hang with having more of these positive events as such...

thanks and peace to:
