As exciting as my life had been lately, I'm spending this Friday night alone in the apartment in Athens, eating tofu and working on abstracts.
More on the excitement in a minute, but let me address the tofu. I used to hate the stuff, but I've recently tried it again and I'm loving it. It's making me want to give up meat, it's that good. I'm working on a transition period right now, where I cut back my meat consumption and see how that goes. I'll keep you updated.
I just got back from the west coast, which featured hanging out with Jessa and Ash, amazing vegan food, and concerts. First we went out to Bakersfield to see The Hush Sound. The crowd way maybe 20 people, including the opening band. It was a wonderful show, the kids were so nice and we gave them giftbags (and a button for Greta) and told them we'd see them in Vegas.
Two days later, after a quick flight to Vegas we met up with Fi and stood in line all day. Took lots of breaks for food, water, and wandering in the casino to cool off. We saw Greta and she remembered us, whcih was nice. Ended up in second row with a great view. The crowd and venue was much better than seeing Panic! at the masq this winter, mostly because there was air conditioning and less crowdsurfing. Also, lots more gay. Panic has really, um, queered their stage show. And I love it, of course, but it kept me giggling the entire time. I didn't take a single picture, but I will at the Atlanta show so everyone can see what I'm talking about. After the show we ran into Bob from Hush Sound and he also remembered us and was a sweetheart. I adore that band, everyone should go by the CD and love it.
Now I'm back in the southeast and I'll be here for two weeks, bouncing around to shows and events. Elizabeth comes to visit in a few days! That's pretty much the best thing ever, just so you know. I also have my first Warped date in less than a week and I'm thrilled to see The Academy Is... again, as well as my boys in Monty Are I (who remembered me when my friend went up to them at Warped yesterday!) Also: June, Paramore, Gym Class, Motion City, loads of others. I'll be working most the time, but I'll squeeze in as many sets as I can. I"m also limiting myself to a certain amount of money to spend, because otherwise I'll go crazy.
So that's life. Back to the tofu now, I think.
