:D :D :D :D :D :D!

Yesterday afternoon, my cubicle-mate and fellow intern mentioned in an offhand manner that she really wanted to go to Pitchfork. Fast forward through twenty-four hours of frantic Ebay and Craigslist scouring to us buying plane tickets to Chicago. My face is stuck in a permanent smile.

This means that:
01. I get to see my FRIENDS, holy YES!
1.5. I also get to see friends that I've lost contact with over the years--for various reasons. This is probably a good thing.
02. Several "must see before I die/they break up" dreams are going to be fulfilled.
03. I've made a friend in Philadelphia. We are going on a trip together.
04. I have little to no money.


Killing four birds with one spectacular stone. I've been in the best mood today.

OH MY GOODNESS, could this get any better!? I see your friends at every concert, hah, and now I get to see you!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I haven't actually gotten physical tickets off of the Craigslist chick so if for some reason that falls through now I know I can spend more time with you! We'll have to figure something out, Lauren and I land in Chicago at 11:30 on Friday and don't leave until 3:15 on Monday so that's plenty of time for fun-making, yes?

Wahhhh sosososo excited to see everybody and (now, to sweeten the deal!) you!

Also, it's funny to me that you say you've lost interest in the "ever-changing indie music scene" because everything I listen to currently is a result of you coming to a Sri Lankan dinner in 7th or 8th grade, shoving headphones on my ears, and forcing me to listen to Pinkerton on your Discman.
