So this weekend has been feelin just like the old days and ive loved every second of it. Friday morning i woke up at an early 8am, got ready, and hit the road. I drove to Cedar Rapids to pick up my aunt and cousin at the airport. I hadnt seen my cousin for quite a few years, and hanging out with my aunt Tori is Always a pleasure. Tori lives in Washington, DC and is the reason THE DISTRICT AND BACK is possible to this day.

After arriving back in town, i went into work down at Martinis with the Food Guru himself. We filmed for his new video cookbook DVD series we'll release in September. It took all day and we finished up around 9:00pm. At this time, my mom had called to let me know everyone was down at Steamboat Days...so she came and got me and we headed down there for about a half hour before i realized i just couldnt take it anymore. SBD is at its absolute highest trash level this year and couldnt be any grosser if our town let it. The smell, the feeling, the vibe, the people, it was so ridiculous and disgusting. We split.

The next day...big bad Ivy Walker rolled into town which was real exciting, I hadnt seen her since The Album Leaf in Iowa City. This time we didnt really have anything going on that we needed to worry about, so we got to hang out and have alot more fun this time around. We went out to our family reunion that had been planned awhile, it was unbearably hot and sticky and there were several people ive never met in my life that are apparently related to me? So we left that giving me just enough time to go home and get ready to go to work at the hawkeye. I struggled through the night with no red bull or food, made it home around 3:30am and got a badass amount of sleep.

The last day, Sunday we spent just kinda taking it easy and relaxing all day. Just like Ivy and I's summer 2006, there was swimming, sun, laying out, and more laughter than i think ive ever heard from her. I showed her alot of video projects i have in the works and she was really impressed and cant wait for the finished product, which i cant wait to get up on here either. Right now we are driving to Des Moines as we speak. Monday night Ivy and my mom will be attending the John Mayer concert at Wells Fargo arena and i will be seeing and hanging out with my good friends from New Jersey: "Makeout Party". I might be filming some things for them, otherwise...just rocking out all night and then hanging with Mom, Ivy, and Jake the rest of the time. Tori doesnt leave til Friday, so i look forward to the rest of the week. We are almost in Des Moines and are going to stop at SONIC to get some food...more blogging, pictures, videos, beauty, and life to add soon. Straight from I-80, signing off...
