Hootie and Pokemon make for a very wonderful life
So yesterday was kinda boring (keyword being day). We marched all day at band camp. March march march. Thats all. We played music, I think. All I remember is marching.
So then after marching band, and by after I mean RIGHT after, I went to the Attleboro T Station to take the T into Boston.
But why would Colin go to Boston on a Thursday night? you ask.

So I met Bry and her sister at South Station around 7. They were running late, and the concert started at 7, so we took the subway to Goverment Center (where the concert was). We got there in time to see some crappy country/rock band finishing up. We had good standing positions too: we could see the whole stage. Then Hootie came on and it was awesome. I knew most of the songs. :) Bry and Cait didn't, but thats ok: they're newbies.
There were like four encores too, and each time they said goodnight, people began to file out so us three crept forward. It was tight! They played a really amazing version of Hold My Hand (a personal fave of mine).
"With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together, We'll rise above the mess (and all this failing economy bullshit)"

And if you are wondering who Darius Rucker is, he's the leader singer of Hootie and the Blowfish. No. His name is not Hootie. To quothe thine website: "The group had formed at the University of South Carolina in the late
