Hmm, recent events. Where do I start?

Well, I DJed on Thursday and Friday, and after the latter shift I hung out with Shawn for a while before Kennie called and scooped me up for a little while before she and Casey dropped me off at All Saints, where I rejoined Shawn and company.

(A new song! I think this one's pretty close to finalized.
