such a wonderful birthday. i can't believe i am nineteen years old but then "all the most important people in new york are nineteen." i feel like this still applies to me in south hadley.
we all went out last night to see fool's gold and local natives and it was just a confirmation of why i love music. local natives covered talking heads warning sign... so fantastic. when fool's gold played this ten-minute jammed-out version of surprise hotel i was so happy i can't even describe it to you. we were in the second or third row just dancing like crazy with absolutely no space to really do so. it's so amazing to me how they just jam the living daylights out of these sweet little afro-pop songs, all the vocals in hebrew, flute and saxophone... so much fun. at the end of the night i talked for a bit to lewis pesacov who plays the guitar and i told him about my radio show with lauren and that we played his record about once a show. he thanked me for that and then he thanked danielle and i for dancing. it was such a fun night, absolutely no words! i love going to see bands that are happy to play for you, and they all appeared quite pleased to be playing for us. it was a lovely night.
anyway tonight the closest dining hall has my favorite dinner AND my mom ordered me a giant cookie that says "happy birthday sweetie" on it so we're going to have people over for dessert. but meanwhile emma and i are just going to groove to surprise hotel (we've played it about 5-6 times today)!
