  1. The band is good, especially the keyboardist. What a great day for a concert, the weather is perfect. Got an ice cream cone from Mikey's and came back to enjoy the music.

  9. I took the brown acid and I am still in the park spinning around. I can't find the exit! I tried to hug a tree but it was a giant rat that bit me and harshed my mellow.
