Birthday
Well, another birthday has come and gone. This birthday, I must say, was one of the calmest, nicest, least melancholy birthdays I've had in a long, long time.
One of these days, I'm going to write something of substance on this site (like maybe a cd or concert review), but for right now, all ten of you will only get highlights, which included:
1) Five concerts in six days. Kings of Leon, Do Make Say Think, The Killers, Explosions in the Sky and The Black Keys. Every show was less than twenty dollars and every show was outstanding. Explosions in the Sky was damn-near a religious experience.
2) My mom and dad both made substantial contributions to my musical obsession. My mom decimated my Amazon wishlist while my dad helped me upgrade to a better acoustic guitar. I wish I had realized how important music was going to be to me when I was younger. I know they would have supported me then too. Better late than never, I suppose.
3) Received lots of love from my friends. Gifts of candy, books, lunch, fondue, Elixer acoustic guitar strings, and a pancake making kit complete with dinosaur pancake molds (Note, when pancake dinosaurs battle, your tummy is the winner!) were all quite appreciated.
4) I realized that I would really, really, really like to own my own music club someday. Or I'd really, really, really, really like to find some way to get paid to listen to music. I really would. No, really...I would.
Good times, my friends.
