I had a lovely weekend spent celebrating a lovely human’s birthday with a bunch of friends, both old a new. I also helped shave a horse (I’m still a little itchy) and I’m in the midst of a battle with my laptop regarding iCloud. I’m not really sure who is winning but for now, we will call it a draw. This upcoming week I get to see The Fray at the Del Mar Fair, which is highly exciting as I’ve never seen them before. Shall we see what else is going on this week?

This past week was pretty much what I needed but I only just finished unpacking from Bottlerock. Oops. There’s a massive amount of laundry still with my name on it in bold print.

I’ve had an abnormally busy but highly enjoyable week. It started off with P!nk right after getting back from Bottlerock and also involved a really quick trip to LA to see one night of The Struts four-day stint at The Roxy. This week is looking to be a little more low key for me, although Hanson looks tempting, which is great because I still need to do laundry and all the other normal life things.

I had a very busy but extremely fun weekend filled with out of town friends, a birthday karaoke party, and Emo Night Brooklyn. I’m still recovering and I have to hurry before I head out of town for Bottlerock this weekend in Napa. I’ll probably be keeping a low profile for the part of the week I’m here. I still have so much to do before I go!
