Soooo, I am awful at this Blogging thing.

Ok, first things first. Bush. Ouch. What the hell are you guys thinking? Seriously America, what are you thinking?! I can't even properly articulate my shock at this outcome. Actually, maybe the worst part is, I 'm not shocked.

Anyways, I got my Shake the Sheets, and let me tell you, best album ALL YEAR. Hands down, bloody amazing. Counting Down the Hours is my favourite, I must somehow get it played at the show that is exactly in one month.

Also, I go for surgery tomorrow, eek. I don't want to talk about it though, sorry.

Ok, this was a quick post, I 'll be back another time, hopefully soon, fill you in then.

2004-10-12T05:47:00.000-07:00

OK, so iit's been a long time since I "blogged".. I must get back to it, especially since I have had requests from some nerds who still read this...

Well, what' been new? I saw a few good concerts lately, including my ever loved French Kicks, they have gotten even better live, and Nick, the lead singer, just gorgeous. I would marry him.

Hmmm, my life seems boring and uneventful now that I look back. Oh wait, as of this Friday I will be unemployed, how's that?! Yeah, my boss called me in and wanted me to work full time, after we had just sorted everything out so that I could continue to work part-time and still do my volunteer work, and now he tells me they changed their mind. I don't know, my volunteering is very important to me, so I really didn't appreciate being asked to give it up for more work and a pay raise. Money is not that important to me, as long as I am making enough to pay my bills and save some, I am happy, so the fact that they tried to pressure me into working more with offers of more benifits and more money, I balked at the idea. So this is my last week of work, which was ok anyways. I go for knee surgery near the beginning of November and would be off for 3 weeks, then off for another 2 weeks at the beginning of December for a training coarse.. so I am just going to take the time off. I deserve it. So unemployed until I start looking again in December!

Wow if you read that, give yourself a pat on the back.

Shake the Sheets comes out in a week, I am excited. I really need to pre-order it, I hate that people don't want to ship to Canada.

Anywas, I need to work. Actually, I no longer care what I do here, so I am actually going to play around on the Internet because that's much more fun than work.

November 18th!!!!

2004-09-03T06:10:00.000-07:00

i'm a ghost - so it dont matter what i know,and you wont mind if i dont speak "comme il faut,"but you've been caught "in flagrante delicto,"and the ghosts are lining up outside your door.because you cant make a sound from six feet under ground.now you'll say you disagree,but come on - look what we've found:if i can talk 'til im dead and still not get in your head,well then it's probably true, so let's put this idea to bed.

Frig, yes!!! *600 fist pumps* Dates announced! November 18th in Chicago, 19th in Detroit and Toronto soon to follow after that!

Wherever did I get that ingenious idea to check www.ticketmaster.com for Ted Leo dates because he had not updated his site with any? I don't know, but it was the BEST idea I ever had. So we have the dates now. We can plan. We can strategize. But mainly, we can freak out.

Ahhhh, and freak out I do! I get so excited thinking about it! And really, two and a half months away is not long at all. Plus, I have so much to do in the wait time.

September 12th - Old 97's concert

September 17th - Snow Patrol

October 1st - Q and not U

October 2nd - Aunt and Uncle's 10th anniversary party, kareoke party (ugh)

October 9th - Wilco (I am still hoping to go)

October 10th - TV on the Radio OR The Reputation

October 19th - Shake the Sheets release, Elliott Smith's Hill, and David Bowie DVD AND Les Savy Fav Concert!

THat is my next two months, not to mention my weekend away, my training days for work, my mom going to Vancouver, so I have to drop her off and pick her up and recieve my presents. Ohh and I am going to the Exhibition on Monday! Yes!!! Super fun.

It's Friday, nice and relaxed day at work... I think I will go do trip research.

List of stuff to be done:

Find bus ticket. Done. Leave Wednesday night at 6:30, arrive in Chicago at 5 Thursday morning.

Buy bus ticket.

Find where bus station is in Chicago

Find where the Metro is in comparison. Find DETAILED maps for Sam and Haley to get me, I don't want to be stuck forever.

Find cool shops near the Metro

Email Ted

Find Train station near Haley and Sam

Find train station in Detroit

Find Magik Stick club in comparison to train station.

Find hotel near club

Find Bus schedule back to Toronto, not a big deal, any time late Saturday

Get the girls phone numbers to exchange plans, information and get used to each other's voices!

Buy video tapes and film. A lot of both

Start shopping. Yes, I am excited about that. need presents for the girls

OK, I need to get back to "work" . Oh, and the new site is up and the show is AWESOME, the boards rock, and the whole thing is jsut a work of art. Hope everyone that worked on it is proud.

Heh Heh Heh

2004-08-30T07:09:00.000-07:00

Over and over and over againI say that were just friends
Forget the implications
Infatuations end
If loves so easy, why is it hardI can't imagine ever being apart
I'll come back to you
Itd be brand new
But I promise We're just friends

Ok, so I have been very lax at getting back to this... oh well.

Let's see, what's new in Ted news? He did his Listening party for Shake the Sheets.. hwo did it go? I wouldn't know, as Ted has not updated his site in over two months... ergh. Also, a new date was announced for in October, a Lookout Part, that would be awesome to go to, I would love to see the Reputation again, they rocked. But of coarse, it is also in New York... stupid no-Canada dates...

So the new BLS site is supposed to go up today.. www.campjinx.com . I am pretty excited, I have been using it as another marker on the way to the Chicago trip... GBV last album, new site, Snow Patrol concert (probably my least fave on the list), Q and Not U concert, Shake the Sheets release and Les Savy Favs concert on the same day, and by then, it'll only be a month til the concert, in which we will be busy planning and such. SO it should all go by pretty quickly.

I really wanted to go see Wilco and Morrissey, but it would have cost me like, 120 bucks to see them, and right now, I have like 4 or 5 other concerts I can go to for less than that, plus the Chicago/Detroit trip... I really need to save.

Oh and Summerteeth is pretty decent, interesting for sure. And I picked up a Billy Bragg/Wilco cd, covering Woody Guthrie lyrics... it's pretty darn cool.. I think I really like it.

Funeral was on Saturday.. really sad. Dinner out on Saturday night was fun too, a lot of people I don't hang out with much, so it was cool.

Who loves TL/Rx?! I do!

2004-08-16T06:01:00.000-07:00

and when you meet me on the ledge,we'll all be singing out again.and if you must, then jump away.i'm not afraid - we'll meet another day.

Listening party this Wednesday in New York for Ted's new album... how jealous am I?! But, as of right now, any date posted is a good sign.

I can't believe it is still like 3 months to this concert. I don't think Sam,HAley, Lauren and I are normal. I dunno... do 4 girls who have never met (except Sam and Haely) who live 13 hour drives from each other and just started to happen to tlak to one another about their favourite band normally plan to meet and go to a concert of a tiny, barely-heard of band four months in advance?! I don't think so. We are offically the coolest Ted Leo fans ever.

I am tired today. And I realized, I talk about the same things in my blog all the time. Ted,Ted, and more Ted. What can I say, the man occupies my thoughts!

Actually, speaking of hot men, I saw The Village last night. Joaquin Phoenix, woudln't mind getting in on that action! Actually, he was amazing in the movie. his character was a more subdued, subtle character, and he played him perfectly. The movie was brilliant. M.Night Shyamalan will always make movies that frighten the life out of me... I screamed several times and kicked the back of the chair of the guy in front of me at least twice. But it was so good, I must go see it again.

Well, not much else is new. My romance that sort of died off in the past while just may start up again, I dunno. Brandon.. so.. I dunno. He is amazingly sweet and kind and has a great sense of humor, and extremely good looking... also my sister-in-laws cousin, really good friends with my brother, plays baseball with him every week... and I still haven't figured out if that is a pro or a con. I figure I will just let it become whatever it becomes. I am a huge fan of letting things work themselves out, some would call it laziness, I preferred laid-back. Well, and lazy, definetly lazy.

I guess since I write in this only like twice a week now, I write more at one time. But I really have nothing to say, which sucks.

Charley went through Florida, but for the most part, missed South Carolina, which was what I was watching, sice talking to Cass so much. Isn't it weird how a few months ago, I had no idea who these people were, adn now I worry for their safety. craziness.

Ohhh no work tomorrow. Part time freaking rocks. I don't know how people can work the same job every day. Even if I loved my job ( which I don't) I wouldnt' be able to take going there every single day, I would tear my hair out from the sheer boredom and monotony of it all...

Well, I suppose I should get back to work, but first, must find some fitting Ted lyrics to go across the top.

One full week

2004-08-13T08:08:00.000-07:00

The first time I saw you I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry
I don't think it'll ever pass
and I was bad news for you just because
I never meant to hurt you

OK SO I have started to..not lose interest, but just not remember.

Yikes, last Friday was an intense day... I must have been drunk. Not really, so don't be all "ooohh she's drunk" just... wow. I dunno.

Double work today, funzo.

I can't decide how to write this thing... I don't know if people still read it. I mean, I write things differently if I am just writing to myself, or if I know people read it. I guess I should just go with the idea that others will read it for some weird reason and censor myself.

Strokes have a live album coming out, probably November. And are working on their next full length... so many people jsut released or are releasing albums. I counted, I currently have 63 albums I want in my collection...that's like 13o0 bucks... Yeah I don't have that just sitting around for cds... damn, maybe I will take up a life of crime.

Family reunion tomorrow, oh goodness kill me now. Good thing is, half the family is in a huff about someone yelling at their dumbass kid for being a brat so now the family is divided and choosing sides, makes me happy because the half I don't like won't be there... so it should be ok.

Friday again already?

2004-08-06T06:29:00.001-07:00

Chasing sea-foam dreams, around another dirty old town; parallel run streams toward the grey ocean from the green ground; 'Oed und leer, das meer,' but look beneath the galssy surface -- all the songs you hear; down there they serve a purpose.

Then the song goes into that killer guitar part and Ted is jumping all over the stage, I can see it all cleary... I do admit, I had to look at the lyrics to be able to spell the whole "Oed und leer" part... It comes from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" poem, means Desolate and empty the sea, an interesting fact I did not know before. Ted makes me want to learn more. He is such an amazing, intellectual lyricist, how does he do it. Although really, he can't compare to "I wanna heal/ I wanna feel" ahahaha you know what I am talking about.

It is already Friday again, how weird. It seems that all the weeks are just kind of melting into one, now only marked apart by each crazy busy Satuday and the mellow relaxed Sunday. I think it is a sign I am getting old. I am joining the "real world", the 9-5 job, with the summer vacations and the office Christmas parties. Am I soon expected to "settle down" find Mr. Right, date for two years, get married and have 2.3 children? It depresses me to think about.

So instead I dwell on this thought: Every Friday that comes and goes is one Friday closer to Ted, Jamie, and my three girls that I look forward to meeting so much.

I want this to be a year tradition. I am not sure how long it can stay for, I mean, Lauren is 23, I am turning 21, how much longer before she (or I, yeah right) do actually meet someone or find something that ties us down, and these trips will be nothing more then memories? I vow to never let that happen to me. I think I have too much of a wanderer's spirit in me then is good for me...

When I was younger, and people would ask what we wanted to be when we grew up, and all the kids were saying "firefighter" or "lawyer" I was thinking "I would like walk around the world and work spare jobs for a living, no home for me" so yeah, things didn't work out the way I planned, I am curretly employed, have my own apartment, and the furthest I have travelled alone is four hours away. I miss being a kid. I have a Peter Pan complex.

Rawr...

2004-08-05T12:23:00.000-07:00

Situations get f*cked up, turned around sooner or later. I could be another fool or an exception to the rule. You tell me, the morning after.

I am so bored. I feel like knawing my own finger off to add some excitement to my life. I am at work, not supposed to be today, but am too nice and never say no when they ask me to work... I should start being mean.

Speaking of, a situation is coming up that is going to call for me to be mean. I am not looking forward to it. Because it will have to be one of those nice-mean things, those are the worst.

I am in the mood to fight. I think I would egg someone on right now, get all in their face, jsut for something to do. "Santa Clause is coming to town!" Why did I just get that song in my head... I dunno.

Oooh on Satuday, I get to go to Canada's Wonderland, should be superfun!!! So many rollercoasters! Plus, my bro and his wife and my little sister, the four of us, we have so much fun together... should be cool. I will most likely get burned as a lobster despite the fact I will liberally apply sunscreen....

So here is day three of Vegetarianism... my mom is giving me a cookbook to do it right this time. She reminds me that I was the palest person she has ever seen all the time last time near the end... I will do it right, make it count.

Well, I have nothing to say, because I am so bored... rawr

Back Again...

2004-08-04T07:11:00.000-07:00

As I can take, so I can give, if I could shop where I could live. As I can read, so I'd write books, if I could eat where I could cook - where talkers have a place to meet, and walkers walk along the street, and subways travel paths well hid, but ferries take you off the grid.

Woo, for a minute, I almost had to check my lyrics... but I remembered. Close call.

I think I still need to remind myself, though this is my Blog, anyone can still read it. Which is weird to me. I guess I figure if I am writing stuff, I can write whatever I want, but I think I will still be pissing some people off... oh well.

So still no updates from Ted. Mr. Leo, what is going on?

I am bored today, and in a "funk" as Lauren and I talked about... Gah, still over three months away til the concert. I wanna get excited about it, but know there is no point this early. I think though, once dates are announced, I will be super excited all the way til the date.

It's weird, but lately I have been getting these huge urges to be a super jerk to people. Just seriously say "you know what? Screw you and your stupid attitude..." but I stop myself, because that would just be mean, and I am not a mean person. Also, I want to swear a lot more.. maybe it's Ted's bad influence haahah, or maybe I just always had an inner-potty mouth I never let out, but I know lately I have wnated to be all "F* you, mother-F***ers..." ahahahah I don't though.

You know, I actually had something interesting to write in here today, but now, of coarse, have completely forgotten.... Later I will remember.

What the?!!

2004-08-03T12:17:00.001-07:00

Ok, so the boards seemed to have just crashed on me... and I am at work, so cannot even talk to anyone on AIM about it... I wonder if Lauren will check this, I shall check hers, see if it's just my computer.

and I can not for the life of me remember Jamie's email address, i made a stab at it, but doubt it was right.

Argh, I don't know why this is bothering me so much. I mean, I know Jamie will fix it, he rocks. Plus, I am work,l so I could use this oppurtuntiy to work, but I was in the middle of something I wanted resolved... I dunno, apparently some do not like me talking to Jamie.... I didn't know peolpe even noticed...

It's not you Cartwright, if you read this... it is more ones I don't talk to a lot, making little comments... jsut grate on me I guess.

I guess I am jsut in a bad mood now.. I dunno... I hope I got the right email address for Jamie.. I dunno, whatever. Argh. This has been a weird post.

Day after holiday.

2004-08-03T04:57:00.000-07:00

I say the right thingsBut act the wrong wayI like it right here But I cannot stayI watched the TVForget what I'm toldI am too young And they are too old.

The Strokes. What more can I say. I believe they will forever be one of my favourite mainstream bands. I remember the first time I heard them, years ago, a friend brought me a bootlegged copy of a tape from them playing in a little club in New York, my friend promising they were going to be the "next big thing". Love at first listen. Julian Casablancas (is that not the sexiest name in history) rasping voice, ripping his own lyrics so the tones ring in your very ears, while backed up by an obviously young band who seemed to be able to anticipate each others moves... for once I agreed, these guys were going to be huge, and two months later, they were being signed to a major label and ready to release Is This It... one of my favourite albums ever.

It's funny, since that year, my taste has change very much. Who I am as a person has changed very much, but I beleive my love for them will always be around. Plus Julian Casablancas and Albert hammond Jr. were two of my first major rock musician crushes. Yum.

Wow, enough of my random babbling about a band... it seems music and concerts are what I talk about 90 % of the time in here. But I can't help it, it is what dominates my thoughts. Music runs through me all the time. I can't ever think of a moment when I don't have some song I have running through my head, whether the last song I heard on my cd player, a random song from a car that drove by me that morning, or a song I have not heard in years, but for some reason, I have had it in my head all day.

Well, I should get back to work, (which I didn't talk about at all in this post), try to recover being back ehre after a long weekend (which I also told you nothing about).

I think I will go look for Ted updates... none, but I am hopeful they will come this week.

Good books...

2004-08-01T14:39:00.000-07:00

Always more together than the ones you think are better off, but Darling, no one?s made it half as far.

I have officially read every book I own. And since I own over 200 books, I am actually pretty amazed. And since I have read most at least twice, I am more amazed. I mean, where did I find the time to do this? And what am I going to read now?

I am going to have to order more from Amazon I suppose, but I wonder if I can wait 78 more days and just make a huge order along with Shake The Sheets and Tej Leo (?) .. I hope so.

Tomorrow is a day off, civic holiday, whatever that means. But I am happy because I don't have to work, suits me fine.

I have thought about going back to vegetarianism lately, but I want to make sure I do it for the right reasons, and I spend time planning meals and making sure I don't as sick as a dog like last time.

No one can sing like Ted... the more and more I hear his music, the more I appreciate this fact. There will never be a Ted Leo cover done, because no one will ever be able to do his songs justice, ever. I think I would pour hot lava in my ears first before listen to someone try to cover Ted. "Parallel or Together" just came on, that song reminds me of the concert more than any others... the ferocity he approaches that song with will forever be burned into my head.

I just realized, after this tour, seeing him in Chicago and in Detroit with Lauren, then here in my home town of Toronto... that will make 5 times seeing him in concert. I love it.

No updates still.

2004-07-31T16:30:00.000-07:00

Maybe it was me, or maybe it was my brother, but either me, or me and him went down to the bar.

Why does Ted insist on torturing us? PUT UP THE DATES!!!

Argh, I am going crazy. I must remember, I amgoing to see Ted Leo in november, twice. Nay, three times if you count when he comes here to Toronto.

My mother asked me today "why spend all this money and go to USA to see him when he is coming here anyways?"

My answer: "Ted is worth it"

And the fact is floks, he is worth it. If I had the money, I would travel around all of America, going to his shows every night. Fact is, he puts on the best concert I have ever seen, and will ever see. The man is a legend, and I want to be part of that in any way possible.

So i am done house sitting, and am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. I have already that actually. After returning home from a busy morning, I slept from 3 to 7, but will probably regret that tonight.

But now I am going to watch a movie with friends, then go for dessert, which I am looking forward to, but am not looking forward to getting dressed.

Now Friday night.

2004-07-30T19:38:00.000-07:00

So it's Friday night and I have no plans, ugh. I really should have called someone, why didn't I? I got lazy I guess, happens so often. Though I did make plans for breakfast with friends tomorrow morning, but why so early?

I will miss watching cartoons and eating my Cheerios tomorrow. Maybe I will tape Xmen Evolution, that is my main cartoon. Yes, I am still like a child.

So it looks like I will get to see two Ted shows on my adventure, I will meet Lauren in Detroit, which will most likely be first, we will go to the concert, then bus it to Chicago to meet Sam and Haley, get another Ted concert and meet Jamie!!! I am excited.

Me and Mia is my song at the moment, and it is just the pre-release Ted gave us, not even the finished version, and it is effing amazing. So imagine that, then all worked out, Ted nuancing his voice, Dave's amazing progress on Bass, and Chris giving it numerous tries. this album is going to be so good, I salivate just thinking about it.

Friday!

2004-07-30T05:14:00.000-07:00

I eat your pills, you eat my sins

My line for the day, perfect for a Sin Eater. But of coarse, you knew that line is not FROM Ballad Of Sin Eater.... St. John the Divine, baby, how beautiful.

I love a contact lens this morning when getting ready for work at 5:00. What a way to start the day. I swear, it's Monday with the way it's going so far, but am very happy it's Friday.

I am done house-sitting tonight, my last night. I am so happy. I am sick of having to be resonsible for so many animals and stuff, having things relying and depending on me. Ugh, smothers me. I am such a commitment phobe. Maybe that's why none of my relationships work out. Yeah, THAT's why. right.

I listened to Long Winters today on the subway, just kept the cd on loop, so I can close my eyes and dream in peace.

I am doing the work of two people here the last few months.. I really deserve more money, frig them for being cheap and not giving me more. I need a camcorder for my Chicago trip, I need it documented my lone trip down, my meeting of three girls I just started talking to about two weeks ago, my first time seeing the city that is Chicago, my second (and hopefully more relaxed) meeting of Ted Leo, Dave Lerner, and Chris Wilson, our adventures around the city, my meeting Jamie and any other BLS crew that are there, my embarrassing myself horribly in front of Jamie, and him laughing at me, the concert, hopefully also the second concert we go to the next night, and the journey home to top it off. I definetly need to record this.

I am super tired already, haven't had coffee, getting a lacking-caffiene headache.

Everyone tells me I will lose interest in this in a week or so, and I probably will, my attention span is awful.

Oh, and if she happens to read this, Hannah is drunk.

Theme Music

2004-07-29T06:59:00.000-07:00

Today, my theme line from a song is "And let's not talk about the color of your eyes or your hair"

It's just what kind of mood I am in today. When I hear that song, I feel the intensity and anger in their, makes me want to scream it out.

And when they make the movie of my life, I want "You Could Die (Or This Might End)" as the opening credits song.

Ummm No Title

2004-07-29T05:27:00.000-07:00

So I am back at work today. Blah.

I tried to see how long I could go without listening to Ted Leo. I made it 3 days. Well, 2, but almsot a full week not hearing Tyranny of Distance. So I listened to it three times this morning. Magic. Pure magic.

I figured out I can listen to "Golden Finch and the Red Oak Tree" eleven times in a row before wanting to change to a new song. On the other hand, St.John the Divine only made 7 runs. I had too much time on the subway today.

What did I do before I had Ted Leo to listen to? I think I must have walked around in a state of suspended animation or something, because I should not have been alive without hearing that. No other band or music, in my entire life, has had such an effect.

I am over-tired. Sick of not sleeping in my own bed. Done with taking care of about a billion animals. Hate having to clean a big house. I miss my apartment. I hate house-sitting.

I am going to make tshirts tomorrow night, doing the iron on printing thing. I need to get some coffee now though.

I realized, this blog is just as random as my posts on the boards. I don't blame you if you don't read anymore.

How many is this for today?

2004-07-28T16:59:00.000-07:00

So I love this thing, I love to be in the spotlight, so I know if you are reading this, you are paying attention to ME. *fist pump*

So taking the subway for 4 hours each day gives you a lot of time for reflection, for pondering your life, for dreaming about boys... but more then anything, it gives you time to observe all the types of people that take the subway.

A few types of people you will find if you choose to take the Toronto subway:

The Sleeper. The worst are the ones that kind of "fall" over onto you when they sleep, you really just want to push them back.

The reader/music listener. Now I am both of these, at the same time. The only time it sucks is when the person next to you is listening to Linkin Park at full blast and drowning out your own better music. Or the reader that insists upon mouthing every word. It is SILENT people... gah.

The New Person. Takes out notes and directions every thirty seconds to check them, then leans across you to check the route map six times between every stop. The worst is when people start tapping you on the shoulder and asking you, as if you could describe it SO much more clearer than the brightly colored map with straight lines and circles.

The Business Person. Be forewarned, you WILL get a look of death if you dare to accidently touch their Armani suit, or scuff the Manolo Blahniks.

And of coarse, the Crazy Person. This person can take on many forms. Whether it is the girl who tries to play shadow puppets across your face, or the rocker/shaker. Or my personal favourite, the man mumbles to himself while looking at a picture of Jesus he has brought and claims "the Lord is speaking to me".. yeah watch for all of these.

SO, this entire post was pointless. But I like it. I may post again tonight.

Wow

2004-07-28T12:22:00.000-07:00

So I started this yesterday, who knew it would be so addicting?! Those b*astards at blogger.com, that's who, snakes, all of them.

So people read this, huh?! Kind of weird. I now feel the pressure to entertain you all...

*doing a complicated dance routine while singing some TL/RX song*

What's that? You want to hear MORE about my future plans to travel, ok I will appease you...

16 weeks away.. wow. I need a video camera.

And I am still in shock to believe I am meeting all three of my Married Man Crushes in one day... yes I already met Chris and Ted, but Ted wasn't married then, and this time I will be prepared. And Jamie says he will try to be there.... Where the hell is the shocked emoticon when you need it?

I think I could type forever. Why do I find it so relaxing to type to myself? Is it just because I am avoiding all work while I do this? Or is it something deeper? Something sub-concious? No, I think it's just because I like to hear myself talk. I entertain myslef so much, it is sad.

I think I will write more later tonight, after my harrowing public transportation ride home. *read - I will sleep while listening to Wilco.

Hmmmm...

So I am at work, and thought I would post.

As I am apparently the only person in the world who doesn't know what "blogging" is, I am not even sure if I am doing this the "right" way.

Anyways, 82 days til Sheets is released, and 112 til the concert! I am pumped. I can't even describe it.

I vow to meet Ted Leo and Dave Lerner and Chris Wilson, and Jamie... I am a stalker now.

Concert is Planned

Well, this is officially my first ever Blog thing... inspired by Sam, who I just started talking to today, but who is my hero for emailing Ted's booking agent.

So weekend before American Thanksgiving is the Ted Leo concert... umm I am so pumped. Like Sam said, 113 days or something.

And 83 days until my most anticipated album of the year, Shake The Sheets comes out.
