Dancing in plastic shake-up snow

Once upon a time, I was in AmeriCorps*NCCC. I was based out of Washington, D.C. During my stint, I went to a Jimmy Eat World show at the 9:30 club. My whole team had begun listening to their albums, and a bunch of us went together.

There were camera crews everywhere, and as it turns out, they were filming the Jimmy Eat World DVD that night. That was in 2001, and just a few months ago I realized that I could Netflix the DVD.

Last night Jason and I watched it, and I spent a good deal of time four inches away from the screen, peering at the crowd shots for my grille. I noticed myself once, and made Jason laugh by exclaiming “Oh, look! There’s my tiny little head!”

We fast forwarded through most of it, but it reminded me that I used to listen to that music all the time. Especially running. We had physical training five days a week, so I did a lot of running.

I also scanned a lot of photographs, but will have to wait till this weekend to upload them to this here outsidcat because whoever was providing me with free wireless seems to have moved out or smashed their gizmo to bits.
