you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born

this should've been yesterday's song..... or Saturday's song even....... we ventured into civilization (lol) because Kaitlyn needed to finish some extra credit for Science.... so we headed to the California Science Center. we didn't have much time because it took longer to get there then what we thought, plus it was a last minute outing... Driving home, we took the semi-scenic route, passed The Staples Center, and the Grammy Museum, and as she snapped a picture of The Staples Center and the lights in the street, Kaitlyn said "I feel like a tourist"... and it made me think of this song:





love Death Cab for Cutie <3

and who opened for pavement?

none other than Possum Dixon!!





one of the best shows i'd ever been to. great underrated band.


"i like the movies, and she likes the movies, we like the movies together" :)

Pavement - Stereo

i remember seeing them play at The Roxy with Danielle. what a great band. this brings me back to 1997





Pigs they tend to wiggle when they walk. No one writes lyrics like that anymore ;)
