"im NOT climbing..." -tyler landman dos. V

took the weekend off from climbing; it was needed. i rarely rarely do. my skin was in pretty bad shape: from weeks of never being recovered. and last week i felt in ever so slight twinge/weakness in my left hand ring finger pulley (an old injury that has felt 99 percent).

the weekend was spent in las vegas, with good friends phil and ross. i have been to las vegas a few times, but had barely even seen "the strip". i got a tickert... but the bomb italian food from bautistas (complimentary unlimit. wine and cappucino for dessert included with great meal), the pool, and the animal collective show balanced it all out. animal collective quickly and intensely turned into a rave-like-happy-hippy-DANCE-party. everyone was super pumped and friendly and chatty. not the best show i have ever seen, but for sure the most fun i have had at a concert.

back in the 9, one week left of classes / testing.. then summer (summer school and work). feel refreshed and psyched. way lake should should be thawed out soon, and yet again Ian has come through with another amazing find at black mt--apparently one of the most/more inspiring/proud/aesthetic blocs on the mountain. sounds definitely classic. hopefully checking it out this weekend.
