Its about to get real cult-ish in here.

On a lovely hot June day, Nick and I set out to see Rogue Wave and Death Cab for Cutie.

It was amazing. I invite you to peep the pics.

Cutie under the BQE after we were gay and finished the sandwiches we packed, it is very close to Nick. A nice walk I say.

This is the pool, which is literally a pool. I did not know, sorry. Anyway they had lots of beer tents around selling Brooklyn Brew Summer Ale which was delicious.

anyone up for a swim?

Go Green couple. This girl by the way....was loving it. When I say loving it I mean i never knew you could dance so much to Death Cab. Oh but you can...and I joined right in. She made me happy. And they were green! Recycle everyone.

The night was absolutely gorgeous...until a little bit later.

Rogue Wave hit the stage sounding so awsome. A lot of people I don't think actually knew that they were sweet and weren't paying attention unfortunately. Like the dumb B standing in front of me. Friends..don't turn your back to the stage and carry on a conversation..I think it is rude. At least pretend your watching.

anyway they played so awsome and sounding great, perfect.

This is the sick intro to Harmonium where the entire bad pounded it out on the drums for at least two minutes rotating the designated clapper. Holy crap it gave me chills.

Then this happend. This wee one has to belong to someone on stage I say. She has headphones on!

Oh these sandals are the queen of the blog I think.

Smoking is stinky, don't do it.

And then my life began. Death Cab opened with Bixby Canon Bridge.
This is one of the greatest shows I have been to in a long time. Never having seen them before I was pumped by their energy. They played a bunch of stuff from Narrow Stairs and all of the best oldies anyone could ask for. New Year, Crooked Teeth, Photobooth, I Will Follow You into the Dark. It was like a dream. Poor guy kept popping his guitar strings, breaking the mic. I think he was a bit discouraged, but what he doesnt know is that no one cared, and they sounded wonderful.

Ben went in the back for I Will Possess your heart and pounded it out. Just so happens to be when the wind started picking up a bit.

Unfortunately for us there was a storm brewin. Crooked Teeth (which rocked so so so so so so so so hard) ended the show abruptly. The wind was insane and the sound equipment on the top of the stage was swinging back and forth. Yikes! We had to leave. It was sad. But they played for almost an hour...I wasn't hatin.

Madness leaving, no rain yet tho....

until we were on our way to the bar and it came down in buckets. I took off my little shoesies and jetted, I had lovely remains of brooklyn in between my toes.

When we got in the bar looked like everyone had the same problem. It was wet!

The beers were real big though. So we were real happy.




welp. dear death cab. i love you love emily.

good things to start your week with

I would like this bag. For summer (which is a week away for me!!). I think it would be grand for the beach and for working in the city. However, right now I am as broke as they come. I need to find a paying job to make up for my lack of pay in my internship this summer. So, I've been applying to every and any store I could think of. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

But in the meanwhile, I shall post my latest fave summer Betseyville in hopes that my boyfriend will visit the site, as he usually does, and maybe get the hint. Just joking, I am not one of those girls!

I think it's a sweet bag and in the perfect size for me (she also has it available in about 7 other styles including a cosmetic case and a wallet. I will leave you folks with this..2 days until we see this lovely lady!

tell me that you love me more.

see you wednesday, leslie!

a dab of inspiration.

the sun is shining, folks. get out there. take it in. take complete advantage.
today:

wear something you never would even dream of wearing. you will turn heads, and it will actually feel good. throw out the idea that you could feel foolish, and embrace being different. there is so much joy to be had in self-expression.

open a publication that you would normally never giv.e the time of day. a book, a magazine, poetry, etc. there is so much to be taught, and so much to be learned. today is the day to sit outside. in your favorite park, outside of your favorite cafe, in your best friend's backyard. i don't care if it's not that warm. the sky is blue. use it.

screw calories.

try a new form of transportation. no, not for the environment. not for exercise. for your sanity. who needs to sit in a car when you can hop on your old bike that probably is infested with cobwebs in your garage behind the old lawn mower. take it out, dust it off, and get riding. hear the birds that are finally out, look at the new growth, enjoy!

if you can't tell by now, i am totally affected by the seasons. the sky is blue, but not for long. wear the brightest colors you can find in your closet, your huge, face-eating shades, and let your hair down. live!
