friday nights


are a waste of life. seriously. here are some alternatives to going to the sandbar and having freshmen sweat all over you for 3 hours.

1. go see a show. this blog is about rad music after all, so read on and just say no to akon and chris brown, at least for one night. 
2. make delicious food. yes, in your kitchen. use spices. aregano should be involved. 
3. play twister. the written rules need not apply. the more people and less clothing involved, the better.
4. make a fort and sleep in it. 
5. if you're in vermont, throw a barn party. because everyone knows someone who has a barn...no risk of noise complaints, plenty of room for everyone to crash.
6. read something substantial. if you have ADD like me, start with brautigan (transition writer between the beat writers and hippies...try revenge of the lawn, it's 62 short stories that are all less than 3 pages long that are witty and poetic). 
7. throw a party with a band. yes, a live band. usually local bands are thrilled with someplace to play and damn it makes you look cool!
8. or for you musically-inclined people, start a band. friday night band practices can be a gig all their own, so get a keg and plug in!
9. hire rent a cop. go to the club with your new bodyguard and arrive with an entourage so you don't have to wait on line. possibly have him carry around a boombox on his shoulder so you have an entrance song. 
10. make paper cranes and give them to people
11. eat some fro-yo, ho!
12. make a movie, post it online 

plus most of these are FO FREE, so you can save your money for sweet shows! go! now! be productive and creative!

Katie, I love you, but I have to say two things
1. I realize you have difficulty with spices (namely pesto soup), but I'm fairly certain oregano is spelled with an "o" at the beginning.
2. More importantly, how dare you use "fro yo" even for rhyming purposes... Stay true to your roots, use creamy.
