more fencing and drinking with a legend and lafayette

started up fencing classes again
i went to a rolling format for the lessons so that it stays flexible for when i move and also so i don't have to turn people away in the middle of a lesson set
the first hour i'm giving my 'intermediate' guys some drills and the like to do while i pay close attention to the 'beginners' then i send the beginners home and concentrate on the intermediates and we do a little free fencing at the end
going this route and also having accumulated a little equipment means i've been able to drop the initial cost from 150$ to 40$ and then have them pay per lesson instead of paying for the whole block up front
hopefully that means i should be able to draw more people in and include them in the class
it also looks like i should have someone to at least supervise drills and handle the equipment if i leave so the club can survive without my constant presence (awesome) and i could jsut come in on saturdays every once in a while and offer formal lessons then

went to lafayette
met at jake's with nick and the legendary 'drunken joe'
the man of countless exaggerated stories with even better truths behind them
we had a grand ol time hanging out drinking and chatting and i am honored to have been permitted to join him at a bar :)
i spent a lot of the rest of the time hanging out with adrienne, (had really bad service at logan's which didn't go over well) watched a couple movies with nick, and ended up leaving Really late (9pm) sunday
then tuesday morning i was REALLY dumb (i've decided i have some kind of as-yet-undiagnosed mental disorder) and got up at 5:30 am to watch the lunar eclipse
it was kinda nice sitting on the roof and watching, but really... i do love my sleep

short visit

didn't do much
went in to work for awhile
sunday went to bloomington and met up with brittany at panara for a few hours
plus some strolling around border's

visiting and counting crows/collective soul/live concert

went to lafayette
hung out with nick
saw adrienne
went on a 'date' to see the simpsons movie
went to indy saturday for the counting crows, collective soul, live 'rock and roll triple play' concert
pretty sweet
i wish i had seen collective soul play at 4th St Live in Louisville before, but i really couldn't
great shows from everyone and i definitely hope to see collective soul play again
after the concert we went to the bars for a while and i danced while nick chatted up some girl

nick and i drove down separately so we could leave his car at the airport for the return drive after doing some work in D.C. for work so we dropped it off and hit a mcdonald's in lebanon before getting back to his place and crashing

sunday there was more visiting and whatnot before he headed out and i went on home
