Um, what? Panic, what?
So today was kind of the opposite of my really awesome weekend. Panic... breaking up? A melancholy end to a glorious weekend.
It started with Jason Webley's Elevanniversary show, Friday night, at town hall. It was amazingly fantastic and there were tons of people there, both onstage and off, including Amanda Fucking Palmer, Jay Thompson, and Reverend Payton (who I always forget that I really like until I see him on stage.) There were balloons and puppets and singing and dancing and at the end we all went down to Freeway Park and ate a humongous tomato shaped (and frosted) cake. (Pretty sure it was carrot cake, with raisins, not made of actual tomatoes.) Yum!
Then on the 4th, I went over to citibyrd's house to watch the fireworks. Got there super early, so I hung out for a while. That afternoon/evening/night included:
And then today came. And I heard the word that Panic was breaking up. I actually teared up. I really don't know what to think or how exactly I feel. Mostly, I'm just sad. Not angry, or even really annoyed, just hoping that the split was amicable and that maybe, just maybe they'll work together again in some way. So yeah. Sad way to end.

- a long Mac v PC debate with bobbyshmoe's boyfriend. It was so fun; I hadn't had one in a long time. In case anyone was wondering, I was on the Mac side.
- a geek out session where citibyrd and I decided to list the tv shows we had completed, to the amusement of the others.
- dancing barefoot (and a little drunkenly) in the street to some street musicians set up on the sidewalk.
- singing along to Counting Crows, The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel (and other songs) being played on guitar and piano.
- lots of delicious vegan food. lots!
- watching the fireworks from the street in lawn chairs; cheering for the hell of it.
