just got back from Folk Life....again.

well its probably gonna be on Komo 4 news by now since their head quarters are right next to the EMP but how bout a live, first person perspective?

well its 5:20 and i ran to catch the monorail to ride to Westlake center cuz the bus stop to lynnwood is there. we just passed through the EMP when we heard this loud screeching and crunching noise. the lights started blinkign and everybody started panicking cuz bunches of thick smoke started passing by. someone was screaming fire. Apparently something exploded o nthe left side of the monorail close to where i sat in the back. all this smoke started filling up the car and everybody got on all fours and tried to open the doors to let in air. somebody was threatenign to jump. by then we had a wonderfuly happy crowd below us taking pictures whiel the monorail was still on fire and we were all trapped inside in midair. just my luck huh? i had to go pee really badly too... well their was a bunch of sirens and the firemen climbed in to make sure everyone was okay. some bimbo infront of me was crying and hysterical. screamign something about how she's going to die and causing everyone else to panic. i had half the mind to extend my leg and kick her fat ass off of the monorail and see if she'll bounce when she hits the floor below. the fire trucks used the hose to wash out the fire and the smoke was back. everybody was told to move up to the front of the car while the dark smoke chased us down. there was alot of crying and cracklign noises. i couldn't see my hand infront of my face. i think i was the only one perfectly calm....well actually i tohught the whoel thing was hilarious. i want my money back damnit! i coulda bought a double cheese burger with that $1.50 -_- well anyway this lasted for about half an hour. we all climbed aboard the second monorail which pulled up next to us smelling like burnt plastic and teriyaki chicken. actually i really should shower now...

well besides that incident, the last day of folk life was pretty much sucky. it was cloudy and started raining for a while. i met up with stacey and angeline for bout an hour before they decided to leave cuz nothing much was going on. so i hung out there. slept i nthe grass in a few places. watched peopel dance. checked out a few people. then went on my way to the monorail. haha we made chane go hit on this one goth guy yesterday. it was pretty funny. he went up all smooth and asked him for al ight for his cigarette. the guy had on a pretty cool leather dress and one of those old victorian style purple umbrellas. well it wasn't that bad...there was a fight.

everybody was screaming how they were going to die and they couldn't breathe because of the smoke. i was afraid at all. which i found really funny. i guess i didn't have any fear of dying simply because i guess i'm pretty satisfied with my life and i didn't have any unfinished business. that or i really did need to go pee bad.

lesson learned for today: always go pee before riding a burning monorail or any other vehicle that moves in mid air.

heyyyy....check it out. made it to komo 4 top story.
