Things that came up on the google search on one of the school computers when I typed in "how to."

Awkward.

live nyc?

Up until tonight, I was rather sad about the lack of live music in June/July. The one time I've ever had the chance to live in a city over the summer (or ever for that matter)-- lame music selection. I was delighted to check the latest updates on jambase.com. Wilco and Califone had both added shows. Of course, others have too. But hey, I'm satisfied with those two.

speaking of music festivals...

I have always wanted to go to Lollapalooza. The tickets are relatively cheap and the festival is in Chicago. Seriously, what a sweet city. Last year they featured some of my favorite artists including Wilco, Raconteurs, MMJ, Flaming Lips, Ryan Adams, Shins, Nickel Creek, New Pornographers, Nada Surf, Jon McLaughlin, and Ben Kweller. I feel like it's a good mix of music.

I got an e-mail from them today saying that they're releasing early- bird tickets. So of course, I went straight to the site. My summer is relatively flexible compared to last summer. My internship is only 8 weeks, and I have weekends off. I figured it'd be perfect.

So when is it? Oh, August 3-5. Perfect... because my internship ends in July? Not so much. That's the same weekend as the AKPsi convention in DC. I'm already registered to go. Why do great things always occur on the same weekends?
