last show of summer vacation =(

I'm exhausted from being on a leadership retreat for the last two days. Good times were had (kinda) but the last two days have seriously lacked some good music. So luckily my show happened right after the retreat ended. Awesome? Well, I think so. 

Next week I'm playing lots of songs about summer or with summer in the title to celebrate the end of summer and, uh... [insert word here that would be the opposite of celebrate] the beginning of the school year. Woo!

(Did you know that woo stands for "winning others over"? Never knew that til today on the retreat. I think that is the one useful thing I learned. Cool.)

So just in case you missed this show, here are some things I wanted to share:

1) The new Pissed Jeans album fucking rules. It is definitely one of my favorites of the whole year, and it's the most perfect hardcore record I've heard since I got into Black Flag back in high school.
2) Saw Cursive last night and it was amazing. ^_^
3) Whoever IMs me under a different screen name every week requesting "Houses" by Great Northern: think of a different song to request already!
4) House shows are the best, especially when they involve Andrew Jackson Jihad playing in a muddy backyard, and in order to not attract the attention of the cops, we all snapped our fingers after every song instead of clapping.
