MICHFEST 2005 (DAY 2--CONTINUED)

Bah. Didn't end up journaling last night before bed--stayed up talking instead which is better anyways. But the final events of yesterday are now cloudy. Sat outside in the afternoon by the tent and faked reading while M walked around in the ferns, playing guitar quietly to herself beneath speckled sun. Then had some of the infamous Michfest nutloaf. Check out the recipe, specific to the quantity needed to feed 7,000 of us Michfesters. It'll make you laugh:

Afterwards, watched some performances. Then watched some open mic and movies--relaying this info as I'm doing is boring the piss outta me as well as you I'm sure--damn me for not journaling last night when I would've had more to say about said events. *Donning hair shirt* Ended the night with some late-night chatting about social anxiety and lesbianism.
