the past few days have been amazing. let me start with the melissa ferrick show.

tremendous show. she sang a lot of her mellow stuff. the sound was so beautiful that i teared up for three songs--welcome to my life, the stranger, and ??. while waiting to meet her, she turned and saw that i had brought two guys w/me. she says that she is always happy to see guys at her shows. she gave chris and mitch huge hugs and then turned to me. i can't even remember what was said first. i took a picture w/her. in the process, the string on chris' camera was hanging in front of the lens. melissa told him that it was hanging in the middle. then she turned to me and said, "well, i guess he likes things hanging in the middle." so all in all, melissa is amazing...

i thought that friday night was going to be a bore. boy was i wrong! ethan, molly, mitch, and i made a 10.30 beer run, drank a lot of beer while talking about deep philosophical things (i.e. religion--eeks), and went to lambda chi. emily was at lambda along w/a whole lot of other cool people. i danced my ass off. such a fun night!

catie curtis was last night, amazing last night. ethan, chris, mitch, emily, molly, julia, and dorothy all went to the show. so we are sitting there eating before the show started and i see JULIE WOLF come walking in!!! (julie wolf is ani difranco's keyboardist/accordianist) ends up that catie and julie are close friends and they performed together on a lot of the songs. after the show was over, i went right up to julie and introduced myself. i thanked her for her music and told her that it was so very nice to meet her. we took a picture together. we talked to catie on the way out. i got a picture w/her as well. i asked her if she would be interested in playing at sewanee next year, and she said that she'd love to. she told me to get in touch w/her booking agent and set it up. hope all that works out.

after catie curtis the gang headed to cafe coco's to grab some coffee/beer. then connections. i danced with a really cute girl to a couple songs only to find out at the end of the night that she has a gf. she said that she wished she didn't though b/c i was really cute :) that made me smile. anyways. she said she'd see me around for sure.

we left the club around 3 and went to molly's house to spend the night. woke up this morning, grabbed some ihop, and came home. i believe that everyone had a really nice time.

now...i have to write a paper. its going to be soo hard to keep my mind off the amazing events that have happened in the past few days.
