As previously blogged, I was in Sackville over the weekend. First time I’d been back in about a year. I expected it to feel strange, but it didn’t.
Highlights:
Andrew’s play rocked. It was written by his girlfriend, who I also got to meet for the first time. It’s about a girl who loses her memory and tries to put her life back together with each of her family members and friends giving her different versions of her past to suit their own ends. For a student-written play it was really damn good. For a play in general, it was really damn good.
Went to Ducky’s. At one point, the RCMP showed up and said “okay, everyone, we need to see ID”. When my turn came I tried to give them my driver’s license and they waved me off. Does my beard really make me look that old? I was sitting next to Gaelan. They checked his ID. I’m only a year older than him…
Got Andrew’s second hard drive working for him. I was glad I was able to do it. I am apparently supposed to know how to do these things, but I am always amazed when I actually pull it off.
Hung out with Ewan for a while. He sang me a song about the IRA and said “bollocks” a lot. When he spotted me walking across campus he leaned out the window of his drawing class and yelled “Oi!”. I love that guy.
Went and saw the Arrogant Worms in Con Hall. It was fun, (I love the Last Saskatchewan pirate song), but I was glad I paid student price. They weren’t mind blowing or anything. Also, ran into Dr. Ricker at the show. She apparently went to grad school with the ‘worms.
It was a fun weekend, all told.
