It would seem that my beard has now reached a volume that attracts comments from sniveling punks and still-in-gradeschool retards. When I had long hair that form of attention made me sad... now I just get a weird feeling of pride. Guess it's all part of growing up and growing older. But enough about that.
The Vega concert. Oh yes. Yes yes yes. She is amazing live but then again I knew she would be having seen her live back in... 2000? I think it was 2000. At any rate a fantastic concert but a little bit overshadowed by her earlier performance. This, I think, has to do with the fact that I find her latest album well under par for her. It's just not good and that's not an easy thing for me to say as I practically worship the woman. My father was also impressed, even to a higher degree than myself.
Mads and I went to see Mezzy Slide perform at Mojo that following weekend. I had had the pleasure earlier but this was Mads's first experience with that band. They pulled off a killer performance, releasing so much energy that Mads and I had to leave early. Great guitar goodness it was a good time had.
Then followed two parties. First one thrown by the Club 15 boys at Smetti's place and then one to prematurely celebrate Kasper's birthday. Both were great shindigs with the Club 15 one providing the lions share of laughs and Kasper's being more about seeing people I had missed during the course of the summer and listening to good tunes. I was very pleased at the opportunity to be so festive over the course of a single weekend.
This past weekend saw the taking place of the annual let's-get-together-outside-of-Ærø trip for the Board. A weekend spent relaxing with good people and, more often than not, laughing our asses off.
Lesley has been around ever since I came home but, alack and alas, she leaves for more british shores tomorrow. This makes me sad but it is the way it is. Friends can't always stay geographically close, c'est la vie sadly. If I had any brains at all I would make it a priority to visit her sometime this fall.
And speaking of travelling, Mads and I are going to Rome. We've booked tickets and a hostel and everything. Wow. My first trip ever without family. Strange and youthful. Looking forward to it, the summers pretty much over here.
I start college in the morning. There's a scary thought. I feel ready.
Today was really nice. It sure was.
That sums it up pretty much. Catch y'all on the flipside.
