Letter from an Occupant

Yesterday was one of the best days EVER.

Kirsten and I went with my mom to Rideau before our shift at Bluesfest. We both needed to buy new underwear. I'm sure at least some of you girls know how much fun this can be. And it was. So fun we were late for our shift (wa also stopped to polish off a HUGE plate of Chinese from Manchu Wok.

It didn't matter that we were late because it was slow and REALLY hot. We drank a ton of water and took air conditionning breaks inside City Hall and entertained a bored Enoch. (My ew fave subway sandwich -- Cheese Steak sub. so good. Thank you Enoch). Between work and concert I was in the very neat internet cafe and joined facebook (all of you, add me).

Then I saw the New Pornographers. Yes, I know the name is wierd, but they are an amazing band. Their music makes you want to jump up and dance and the lyrics are so quirky. Kirsten went super early and got us spots at the front so we were against the baricade which was so fun. We also met these really cool people who were next to us who loved Belle & Sebastian as well as Tegan & Sara, as I do. They saw Belle & Sebastian in Montreal in February which I somehow missed (!!!). I wish I'd gotten their msn. Or names. Either one. Kirsten and I and those girls were the ones who kept yelling song names at them during the encore. Kirsten was the one who got them to play I'm all for Swingin you around and Letter from an Occupant. So awesome.
I hadn't heard the New Pornographers until Kirsten played "Letter from an Occupant" right before the show started. And from that moment I was hooked. I don't think there was a minute where I wasn't dancing in some way. SO FUN.

Today is super hot so I'm staying inside and eatin giant muffins that showed up in my house that someone made. Not sure who. But they're yummy.
