great snowstorm of '08, holidays, connecticut 4, joshua morrison, damien jurado, and john roderick's lap

|
Best-slash-most-bonkers week, ever! It occurs to me that I'm starting to say that every week. But this time, I mean it.

monday01.jpg First off, it snowed. It hasn't snowed to these proportions in, oh, about a decade. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.

monday02.jpg Then, Christmas happened. Best! Holiday! Ever! Scrabble, oil paints, and a carb coma.

monday03.jpg Friday, I got to see a band called Connecticut Four, with Keenan and ChrisB. New fave local
all-girl band... probably my only fave local all-girl band, now that I think of it.

monday035.jpg Saturday, Joshua Morrison put on a ridiculously good set at the Triple Door. So good that I emoted all over the TIG blog, which you can read for yourself here.

monday04.jpg And then... then there was this. I swore I wouldn't do it, I said I wouldn't, and then I did it. Unwillingly. And this picture, of me on John Roderick's lap, shows up in the pool, and may very well be my new favorite picture of myself.

See? It is another best week ever!

Up & coming:

  • DeVotchKa, for New Year's Eve at the Showbox
  • "Awesome" (woo!) at Neumo's this Saturday
  • Hazelwood Motel, The Walkmen, Friday Mile at ChrisB's birthday bash, and a zillion other bands starting to fill up the calendar for a busy January.
  • And... a new apartment, all shiny and bright, and photo ideas already starting to pile up. Like girls wrapped up in flags, and pretty plates, and tiny lights.
Stay tuned & rock safely, kids. Oh, and ps: we [heart] Telekinesis.

iVIVA!
