#sorry aric improta paul seidel is my favorite drummer again

[foundationsofdecay]

i did break and have a minor fuck-up moment where they asked if we had merch we wanted them to sign but the only thing i own that i brought down with me from my apartment that isn't a shirt from the ocean is my shirt from arctangent which at least has their logo on the back jfkgjk so even though i adore that shirt and wear it all the time (thank fuck i'd washed it recently) i gave it up to the sharpie gods so i could get smth autographed, where it will forever live in the back of my closet. the fuck-up being that i said the "sorry this is kind of silly" thing even as i was actively telling myself not to and paul was like "what do you mean silly it's fine! why's it silly, give me a thousand word essay on why it's silly" like paul i can give you a ten thousand word essay if you let me start 😭 he laughed when i told him that and then we talked about the festival for a bit while the other guys were signing it but i thought i was going to die of mortification, i had been doing so well before theeeennnnn. thankfully(?) my sister had a similar moment later and my brother was chill as a cucumber as usual so it evened itself out. and i made a friend with the other person that came to do the pre-show thing, which was also cool!
