we frolicked about in our summer skin

This week Jason took time off work due to his job forcing the employees to use some of their PTO. We decided to go camping for a couple days since this is also my last week of freedom before school starts. On Morning morning we got all packed up when I remembered that Death Cab for Cutie were coming to concert that night. We had already seen them twice and hadn't planned on going because Jason had work and we didn't want to pay for it. I said to Jason that we should just skip camping and go see Death Cab, and much to my surprise he agreed. I found some pit tickets on Craigslist for a decent price and we got there early so we were two people back from the stage. They definitely did not disappoint this time. I prefer their older albums over their newer ones and they played most of my favorites from past albums. They sound so incredible live and always give a great show. I felt giddy being so close and halfway through a lady left in front of me so I was able to be right up against the gate. We both had a great time and didn't regret skipping out on camping.

 Us pre-concert. I wore my 70's bird dress which is one of my favorite dresses.

 We met Frightened Rabbit afterwards. They were very Scottish and very drunk. They were also very cool and friendly. They liked my dress and the singer had a tattoo of a chemical compound on his arm which he wanted Jason to find out if it was the right thing (the formula for his eczema creme). He almost gave Jason his phone number but instead settled for writing on facebook.

nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

When Jason and I were at the thrift store today we got there as they were putting out around fifty Beatles records. Apparently someone had just donated their whole collection and we were lucky enough to be there to get pick of the lot. There were a lot of duplicates so we got to pick the best of each one. We had some other people eying our stash as we were going through them and they were quick to grab ones we put back. We didn't get any really rare albums (we got Yesterday and Today but of course it's not the butcher version) but we were excited to get a whole collection at one fell swoop. And you can't go wrong at 50 cents each!
