Love your choices!

[adjovi]

awesome!!! thank you so much!!!

in pittsburgh, there is a cover band called bon journey, which, as you can guess, would meet all of your needs. me and friends constantly follow and are still living the dream that i will be able to hoof it there for a concert. they have a standing "concert" new years eve at a holiday inn off of a commercial strip. classy! bon journey webpage. looks like they are rocking some county fairs, these days. who doesn't love fireworks?

[blue_fjords]

Holy shit. You have got to go see that band! Nothing must hold you back! Wow, their classiness knows no bounds. You have to go and get them to sign your t-shirt.

How was your birthday?

[adjovi]
