Log: The Purple Doorish Weekend #2
2003-08-18 � 6:49 p.m.

10:22 am � �you know what makes these trips great? Body art!� � Chris

10:53 am � Katie neglected to mention that the purple door festival takes place on a ski lodge. I just walked down a mountain with crutches; this should be an interesting day.

10:55 am � the ratio of people wearing converse all star cores to regular shoes is about 10 to 1, despite the rainy weather. This is great; it reminds me of my childhood.

11:24 am � there is a girl in the building behind the stage with bright red hair wearing a blue blanket with some pattern as a cape staring down at the show. Later I found that this girl was actually a boy with very feminine hair and the pattern on the cape blanket was monkeys and bananas.

12:15 pm � the girls behind us yell to the Danielson family �you rock my face off!�

12:23 pm � overheard � �papa pushed me off the porch again�

12:23:30 pm � we realize that this is a lyric in the song we are listening to

12:31 pm � there is a guy with a trumpet sized plunger and stick stuck to his bald head.

1:45 pm � it goes from raining hard to raining harder. When it picks up our umbrella�s prove to be mostly useless and I loudly state �when it rains, it pours!� I am happy to find the people around me are also amused.

2:36 pm � after being poured on, soaked to the bone, almost electrocuted by a double lightning arch, we have come to a McDonald�s to dry off. Don�t worry we are going back for Over the Rhine.

4:20 pm � we have returned to the Purple Door Fest in a much drier state. Danielson was amazing this morning. Over the Rhine will be next.

5:57 pm � while listening to Over the Rhine, I am rudely interrupted by a very large grasshopper landing on me. While staring at it with Katie and Chris wondering what to do it jumped into my face. As a result Katie Chris and I jump and �freak out�

6:31 pm - �sounds like that guy is whining about people whining� � Katie

8:00 pm - we officially leave the purple door festival just as it starts to rain again. Thanks God.

8:35 pm - there is some crazy lighting painting the sky. No thunder yet. It looks like we are going to drive into the rain.

9:00 pm � we find the rain

August 17, 2003

1:54 am � we finally arrive home after dropping Chris off at his home. We spent the last 5 minutes trying to get my crutches out of the back seat from the front seats.

2:21 pm � my cast is still wet from the rain yesterday. It is starting to smell wretched.

This is Captain Jessica signing off.
