honesty day.

it started as a night selling merch for hawk nelson, it ended up being a share-fest with me, a roommate and a boy i barely know.
hawk nelson brought their "fly me to the show" tour through minneapolis and of course i was hanging out behind the merch table.
since my roommate and i were the most "experienced" merch people there that night, we got the headliners. it was great because not only is that generally the busiest table but hawk's road manager/traveling merch man, adam, is awesome. he's seriously hilarious and used to play keys for falling up (so that immediately made this girl a little star-struck). so adam gave us the run down of the merch, headed backstage and the show started.
we were having a great time and adam kept checking back to make sure everything was going okay and each time would chat for a bit before leaving again. during one of these random talks my roommate, we'll call her jenessa, blatantly stated that she really didn't like hawk nelson as a band and thus began, "honesty day". thanks j-ness for your unabashed honesty and kicking that whole night of randomness off.
it started off talking about music...then we moved to hipsters. we realized the definition of hipster is, in fact, portland. now i'm not necessarily a hipster but i do appreciate a checkered shirt and i own a pair of fake glasses. that's as far as i go. but i wasn't about to tell that since they all seemed a little anti-hipster.
then adam shared some interesting news about a former falling up member....one i happened to think i was going to marry and adopt beautiful children with. well when said boy split and made his own side project he didn't commit as much as he could have and gave up...even though he could have been great with a little effort. so instead he married adam's best friend. it's like a soap opera i tell ya!
honesty day ended with me telling both jenessa and adam that my underwear were falling off. it's a long story and there was no way to hike them up so i was stuck. thank the Lord i wasn't in a dress this time.
honesty day was a complete success.
