Epic Summerfest Night

So My last day at summerfest started with me really not wanting to go. I wanted to see the bands but I was having a lame day, focused on writing a cover letter and being tired.
But the fest waits for no one and Sarah was meeting me there!

I got to summerfest and noticed that it wasn't too busy like last weekend, plus number one.
I walked over to Big Data who were pretty cool. They had some good energy on stage and the music was danceable! Then as I was sitting listening to Big Data, I got completely taken out on my left side.  It was so fast that I didn't even see it coming and then I look in the direction of the impact and notice a smiling brown haired girl. SARAH!! I was so happy to see this crazy lady!

And this is why I missed her. First, she made me get my face painted, which I wasn't too upset about cause I love stuff like that. So we had awesome neon, tribal paint on our faces. Then, we are over at the small KNE stage listening to a local band when Sarah suggests going on the ferris wheel. Im very hesitant since its a bit of money and seems kinda lame but she's practically begging me to go, so I give in. We wait in a looooong line and end up in the same cart thing as two little girls who were super sweet. Once we got to the top of the ferris wheel, we looked around and saw a TON of fireworks from all the surrounding towns! There were at least ten different sets of 'works that we saw and it was super cool! It was money well spent!

After the ferris wheel, it was time for me to go to Robert Delong. Sarah and her friends stopped by for a bit before checking out some other acts but I was more than happy enjoying the concert alone. The atmosphere there was pretty chill (except for the group of teens who were going crazy in the corner) and it wasn't too packed, I got up pretty close in the standing room. At one point during the concert, some girl walked up to me and offered me a glowstick. I offered her my arm and she put it on. I said thank you and continued to dance.

Also the music was INSANE. In a good way. He was a DJ but was super creative about it. It was just him and he played the drums, keyboard, multiple synths and sang. He used a joystick, x-box controller and wii controller to make different noises, it was so interesting! I couldn't stop myself from dancing because the music just got inside my body. The rhythm and bass just snuck into your soul! I couldn't help but have a grin on my face for the whole concert as I watched him and looked around at all the other painted faces moving in the crowd. Ive never done drugs and after this concert, I don't understand why you would ever want to. I was so high on life and happy that I didn't need them.

I left that concert so jazzed that I rode my bike so fast over to the apartment where people were hanging out. I walked in, sweaty from the bike, with my face painted and a glowstick and yelled "The party is here!" To which my friends just said "heeeeeeey!" with hugs. The fact that I looked like I had just came from a rave or something didn't even phase them. This is why I love my friends.

"Meghan, it seems as if you got a little something on your face..."

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Best Friends

I swear that I have the best friends on the planet and I know everyone is jealous. But Ill share them! Last night I went to Milwaukee to see a friends band play on Water St. It took a lot of energy to leave the house. Oh, how I wanted an early evening and to cuddle up in bed with a good book. We all know that those end up being the best nights out, when it was hard to get out in the first place! There ended up being a huge group of us. Ive always wanted a large group of friends and now Ive got it. And even more friends around the world. I can't believe how awesome that is and how awesome they all are! Anyway... We pretty much took over the dance floor with our crazy moves. It was so fun! I got a text from my mom saying that I should just stay in Milwaukee considering the bad roads after the first snowfall. I didn't argue. On the hike back to the apartment after the show, there was snow everywhere and it was cooold. Thank goodness my friends are so great and threw snowba...
