Strawberry Festival Part 1.

Well, today I didn't think I was gonna do much. I woke up too early for my tastes but to a good meal. My little sister had to go to one of her friend's houses on base to work on their science project, so my mum dropped her off there and then came back home. We went to Target to find this surprise for my sister for keeping her room clean, a pink comforter with pink pillows. Snazzy, eh? So we roamed Target for a while then decided we should get home before deciding to buy anything else. On our way out, Ryan gave me a call on my cell and he asked me what I was doing. I told him, that I was at Target, but would probably be doing nothing after. He surprised me by saying that he'd found a way to get us into the strawberry festival for free! :) I'd never been to a strawberry festival before, and I've always wondered what it'd be like. Expensive was one of my guesses and boy it was. haha I didn't get anything to eat while there, the main reason I went was to watch the various cover bands that were there. Rock and 80's hair metal, very nice genres. :) I was impressed with the blues band we saw, even though it's not exactly hard to play a 1-4-5 progression over and over haha. I liked the 80's rock/metal tribute band, their name slips my mind but they had two very good musicians in their group. Their drummer was pretty good, was impressed. Their guitar player was NICE. He killed "Eruption" though sounded like he added his own style in to it. Isn't that what it's all about though? There were a lot of Koreans and Asians in general haha I was surprised that they'd like Tejano music. That's when I noticed them, when this Tejano band was playing. After the band, Lodi and I walked around for a while, but I soon got kinda tired of it. It was 5, so I decided to go home. I hope to return tomorrow maybe, but if I don't, it'll be ok. I kinda wanna see the Journey tribute band though. BUT ANDERSON COOPER AT UCLA CALLS TO ME! I doubt I'll be able to go though, which greatly saddens me. :( I hope this won't be the only chance I get to meet him. Anyway, I end this story at home, where I watched some interesting stuff on NatGeoHD ondemand. :DDD Happy camper.
