Second Day

10:30 p.m.?

Second day of camp. It’s almost lights-out, so I’ll write quickly. Basically there was a dance tonight, and we hung out for a bit. I introduced myself to the kid who was wearing the Led Zeppelin shirt the other day, because today he was wearing an OpIV shirt. Turns out he listens to reggae, metal, classic, and punk – lots like me, only he’s a dude and named Evan and from Bismarck, ND. He plays bass, too.
The nasty screeing noise last night turns out to not have been pipes, as suspected, but the wind under the door. Blocking the gap with a towel should improve the temperature and eliminate the wind noise.
I’ve named K8 “Roller-Skate Kate” like the John Entwhistle song. Then a male friend of hers whose name I don’t know has become “Mr. Roller-Skate” so I can call him something I’ll remember. This dude plays percussion. Victoria – she’s a t’bone – is also called University because some of our music comes from the University of Victoria, where Dr. King teaches.
Lights out is soon. It’s a huge pain to walk to the nurse for meds all the time. Lights out!
