Best Night in the Shadow of My Alma Mater

Oh man. Last Friday night? Off the chain good times in Provo, Utah. First, we went to the Karl G. Maser Building at BYU to catch young Scott Lemmon’s Ward Talent Show performance. How was it? Let’s just say it involved a synthesizer, dry ice, laser beams, and a little song called “The Final Countdown”.



So that’s me, Scott, and Mitch.



In the parking lot after the show a car drove by and someone yelled “Brigham! Brigham!” Yup, Spring Break was handing me another surprise reunion and it’s name was Amy Gueck. Awesome.



We were going to go get soup somewhere I had never heard of, but when Mitch saw they’ve opened a Sonic over by Beto’s, well, she decided we’d be having Sonic. No problem with that here.



I’ve been eating corndogs for a pretty long time, but this is probably the best photo of me eating corndogs I’ve ever seen.



When Matt got to Sonic he picked up the phone right away to order, but then he realized he had no idea what he wanted.



A few minutes later he was totally ready to order.



Scott Lemmon, eating towards victory!



So Matt says, “Mitch, take my picture!”



Then we went to this new café-ish place on University called “Vermillion Skies” full of Provo indie kids I had never seen before. We went there to catch Mary Cox and the Pop Rocks, they were like the furry little puppy with razor sharp teeth of rock n roll.

All right, so I have this NYC friend named Rebekah, right? And she was on a California/Utah vacation over spring break just like me, but she couldn’t hang in California. Why? Well, as illustrated here, she had to get her nails done one day and her hair colored the next. Well done.



Also in Utah? Mr. Jeff Rasmussen, here making his triumphant return to my eSite.



Me with Mary Cox.



Rebekah settles for nothing less than perfection in her face-making, and Mitch approves.







This is Jeff meeting the Lemmon boys.



Vacation! Knock it off with the chance encounters! Tessa from 1995/96 was on the town too.



Here Jeff gets to talking with Lani about whether or not being a personal trainer satisfies her soulful Humanities Major soul.



Me, Rebekah, and Mitch talk about something else. Probably couches.



Tessa and Suzanne. Suzanne lives in Utah and can be expected to be found in Utah, but I once chancely encountered her in New York.



Here Rebekah tries to explain to Jeff that she doesn’t like Diet Coca-Cola with Lime.



Jeff, however, enjoys the Diet Coca-Cola with Lime.



You just gotta understand that last Friday night in Provo was a screaming remembrance of the healthy fun they call “Provo.” If you starred in this post, don't be stingy with the comments.
