A melancholy town where we never smile.
Today is September 2nd.
On September 2nd 2008 crystal_lily and I had just arrived in London and saw Robots In Disguise for the first time. We then embarked on a year of gigs (some of them I saw alone or with other people, but most of them were with her) that will come to a cathartic end tonight at an MGMT gig.
I decided to do a recap of my year of gigs. It was everything I've ever dreamed it would be.
