I’m pleased as punch to have a long weekend this weekend. I got an unexpected half day on Friday and was downright giddy to be able to go home and do laundry. I’m not sure when I reached the point in which finding time to do laundry was a luxury, but here we are.
Last week, I went to the twenty one pilots arena show. It brought me all the way back to 2013 when I saw the band and wrote a particularly enthusiastic email to Amanda that I ended throwing up on the site. I had forgotten about it until someone reminded me last week. I’m glad my random musical musings can be memorable! http://localmusicnation.net/2013/02/21/twenty-one-pilots-at-the-troubadour-22013/
