Riverfest Review, Hammers, and Ryan Meets the Suz

I've mentioned this to a few of you... it's a laugh riot

Last night was Riverfest, and for those of you who aren't aware with the dubious celebration, it's more or less a marijuana orgy in which the only thing more boring than the exhausting guitar solos (courtesy of, alas, Cross Canadian Ragweed) is the expression on the stoners faces after a bowl. Leave it to Texas State to throw a party to celebrate 4-20, aka National Marijuana Day. Thanks CCR. Thanks higher education. Thanks tuition.

That's a bit dramatic. To be honest, I had a good time, albeit playing frisbee the whole time. Has anyone seen Dawn Brace's hammer throw? It's sublime... What else would you one expect when she learned from the best?? Later, before eating an entire bottle of Heath Bar Magic Shell (really, how do they do that? I understand mitosis and meiosis but how the hell does that stuff work?!), we saw Ryan Smith (Dawn's totally hot BF) on webcam. It was surreal.

About a week ago, my mother (fifth one down... her picture is actually me and the triplets), who in case you've been living under a rock for the past month we call The Suz, was at a birthday party. She happened upon a charming young prince and they struck up a conversation.

Young man from LSU says: I'm going to San Marcos in a week.
The Suz replies: My wonderful, charming, handsome eldest son goes there.
Young man: What's his name?
Suz: Michael. He's the best.
Young man: Michael what?
Suz: Michael Rice.
Young man: Michael Rice!
Suz: Michael Rice!
Young man: Michael Rice?!!
Suz: Michael Rice!
Young man: My girlfriend knows him. They play frisbee. He's teaching her how to throw the hammer!
Suz: Did I mention he's charming?


The world is small. C'est la vie.

Dawn is not the greatest... let it be known. And what happened to the faux hawk??

MW Rice said...

Dawn,
You're forehand and flick give new meaning to the word "unpredictable." I have a minor heart attack each time you throw the sweet flick. And yeah, watch out ul.frisbee team. Rice + Brace = Greatness. (i'm bringing almost famous by in about 2 hours...)
Nikki,
The faux-hawk was there. You didn't see it? It was very...hawkish. Party tonight :)
