08/01/2001

Heather left, then Erin, then we packed up and rolled into town to stay with another set of friends, Tim and Maggie. They were just moving to town and they had some other Reno people, John and Carrie, that'd driven out with them staying there. It was cramped but we got all our stuff into their apartment.

Stopped in at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and looked into the gift shop. Everything was really cool but super expensive, a tie with some of his designs on it was $30.

Brad to See RadioHead, I went to see movies. I saw the entire Final Fantasy movie, most of Score, and enough of The Fast and the Furious to know that the rest was worth missing.

At 06:00 I woke up to the sounds of rain falling and thunder crashing, went back to sleep. At 08:00 heard on the radio that parts of the city were flooded. Decided not to leave until the next day.

I went to the store with John and bought a bunch of food to make breakfast. When we got back he made up a bunch of German pancakes and I tried another round of hash browns and eggs. His pancakes were great but my skillet skillz are still not quite l33t.

We helped Tim and Maggie unpack the boxes they'd brought out. Brad, Tim, John and Carrie went to the hardware store to get blinds and other stuff. Maggie and I moved stuff around and talked. I.d gone to middle and high school with her but didn't really know her very well.

Maggie is an organized and hardworking person, she finished high school in two years and then went to France for school. She went to UNR and graduated with a dual major and was going to ??? for a masters program in Chicago mostly on scholarships.

That night we met their neighbors. I think they were the only other two white people living in the predominately Puerto Rican neighborhood.
