Ummm. Yeah. basically. I'm so tired. Because I just had the best weekend ever.

Jon, if you're not jealous and regretting your refusal to go, you really really really should be.

I PROMISE, that this will become a real in-depth coverage of the weekend. I PROMISE.

-------------------------------

I suppose I'm rested up enough. After this I need to go unpack. -sigh- I love packing, but I hate unpacking...

So, highlights (these are kind of out of order):

1) Driving through Brownwood and not feeling the need to text Ryan something dramatic.
2) Being at the front for every single band we saw.
3) Seeing so many bands.
4) Meeting Mark.
5) Being the food providers at Tegan and Sara.
6) Getting a great tan.
7) Getting my Halloween costume and a new bag and a fanny pack at American Apparel today.
8) Getting five new shirts.
9) SEEING PRESTON! (this one is only CAPSed because I really missed him and had been looking forward to seeing him for a long time. It's not like better than the rest, which is obvious, because I forgot it until the very end)

Bands we saw:

Jakob Dylan, Gogol Bordello, The Swell Season, Langhorn Slim, Jose Gonzalez, Man Man, Spiritualized, Iron and Wine, The Kills, Stars, Okkervil River, and Tegan and Sara.

So basically, my main two favorite parts of the weekend were Gogol Bordello and meeting Mark.

We were very front row for Gogol Bordello and they had such amazing stage presence. I could have gone deaf right after that show (which I thought was going to happen) and been just fine with it. At that moment, my life was complete. OH. And! We got to touch one of them and I caught a water bottle the Accordian player threw! Yeah!

Mmm. And then meeting Mark. Mark. :]
I met Mark at Stars. Right after the Kills, Amy went to refill her water bottles and left the stuff with me, and the stage got rushed. I had to work really hard to keep enough room for both of us, and while she was gone, I met Mark.
Mark was really excited for Stars. They're his favorite band ever. He was just talking to everybody, and we met at the very begining of the break between the Kills and Stars. I guess I looked kind of alone, because he introduced himself and we talked, and when Amy got back he helped her find me and helped her get through to us. And when I asked if he was staying for Tegan and Sara, he said he didn't know them, but he'd love to.

I don't know. I was all super set to write all about him and his amazingness and how much fun we had and how I like him and blablablabla. But it's like. Wow. I feel like I'm back in seventh grade, when I used to do that all the time. Except I can't anymore. It takes way too much effort. Lol. So maybe I'll just keep you updated on the whole Mark thing? Yeah, yeah.

Mmm. Pictures later. When I get the film developed. Which (hopefully) should be ASAP.

OH. I DON'T REMEMBER IF I TOLD YOU OR NOT! I QUIT MY JOB! HURRAH!
