yes, maria, it IS a free show. they might be giants, friday july 30th, prospect park, 7:30

i spent most of thursday at MoCCA. while i was mopping the hardwood floors (my idea. large crowd coming to look at the art that night? i want the place looking fab.) the air conditioner turned on for the first time ever, continually blowing dust and fine particles of stuff all over the place for over an hour. within the hour and a half before the event's opening, i showed my prowess for doing everything i possibly could in a short ammount of time. it seemed to impress the volunteers who didn't already know me and comfort the ones who did. i spent the next few hours behind the merchandise table looking friendly and showing off books, t-shirts, and other fine stuffs. i sold at least fifty copies of the kyle baker book we were celebrating the release of, two copies of Superman On The Couch, and one Hellboy/MoCCA t-shirt. came real close to selling two kids on Mutant Aliens, one mother on all three Little Lits, and one couple on the Crouching Bunny/Peking Duck statue set. still, i had some laughs and got along well with the populous, so i had fun. new volunteer Liz Allen (i remember because i'm pretty sure that was the name of one of Peter Parker's girlfriends in Spiderman) requested that i help her out as she coordinates the Harvey Award exhibit, so i'm on that now. going in tommorrow to work with her. also, to anyone interested, the first official meeting of Art Fest volunteers is May 24th. i'll be dragging maria, for sure. this will be an easy way to meet the other volunteers, learn what's going to be happening this year, as it is twice as large and for twice as long, figure out and sign up for what particular jobs you want to do when, which people you want to meet or work with, and probably get some free posters and/or flyers.
friday i hung out with elysa and maria. elysa's a fun one and i don't get to see her enough. she's sick this weekend, so much love to her. we ran around waldbaums (maria needs to send me the pictures, they should be quite swell) and watched texas chainsaw massacre and did other silly things. when i came home, i discovered that coral had sprained her ankle on a trampoline at a friend's house and is currently on crutches. silly girl.
yesterday we drove out to westbury where my father's band The Wranglers were playing at a community fair. it was hot and the amps were up way too high. after that we were all really tired and mostly lay around all day.
today, we went to a diner for brunch. both in and out people seemed to ignore that we were using the ramp for a reason and were flabbergasted to keep walking toward us and have to stop in front of the girl with the crutches. coral keeps hopping around the house and i keep telling her to sit down. she's going to be a hellion at school tommorrow, but luckily i will be at MoCCA.
nova reccomended i apply to work at Cold Stone Creamery. i still haven't been there, but from what i hear its a great place for me, so i'll try to rest there after the city tommorrow.
