Fragments again...
The interior had a completely different feeling-- it reminded me of a modern suburban house. There was a beige carpeting which might have been white at some point, and clothes on the floor and sometimes on the furniture. It seemed like the home of a family, but the parents were away for the weekend. The outside seemed dark from the inside because of the weather and all the trees. Not many lights were on; in fact, the only light I remember being on was the bathroom light.
I sat with a group of people, led by Steph Sobieraj and there was a lot of smoke from weed going around, though I have no single memory of actually smoking or seeing anyone smoke anything. It was clear that we were up to no good. The whole setup was eerily reminiscent of my high school days, but we were clearly at the very least college-aged. We sat around joking and laughing and somehow smoking without smoking.
...
At some point, someone mentioned something about "going to the statue". I remember some people went ahead to go to 7-eleven or some other small convenience store to pick up snacks, and others went behind. I was left behind to do something, but I can't remember what. I do remember knowing where to go and finally meeting everyone there. The statue was not very big-- probably 7 or 8 feet tall in the middle of a circular concrete/grass/brick area. It was beautiful, actually, the concrete and brick alternating to create a nice pattern, then divided by small strips of grass. The statue itself was metal, and it looked like a person jumping with one arm stretched upwards as if trying to catch something. The metal was a dark brown and very rough and wrinkled. I have a hazy memory of getting there and also seeing the surrounding area, but unfortunately nothing specific enough to write down.
