Ridiculous Review of the Past Two Months

I've done a lot of awesome "stuff" over the past two months, so I thought I'd take the time to provide a brief recap of all my adventures. I suppose I'll just start the beginning.

8/3/10 - I attended the Lilith show at Merriweather Post Pavilion, in Columbia, Maryland. I finally got to see Missy Higgins, and I saw the Indigo Girls for the second time in less than a year, after waiting more than a decade to see them for the first time. Sarah McLachlan, Sara Bareilles, and Court Yard Hounds were great, and I completely fell in love with Butterfly Boucher's music. Higgins was absolutely adorable, and she sang "Going North," which pretty much made my entire year.

8/7/10 - I saw Paramore/Tegan and Sara/New Found Glory at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The show was amazing, even though it was ridiculously hot outside. Hayley Williams just oozes charisma, and I was really excited about seeing Tegan and Sara.

9/10/10 - I went to the York Fair in York, Pennsylvania and saw Lady Antebellum in concert. They were great, and the pictures I took came out really well.

9/14/10 - I attended my third Little Big Town concert. The audience was really boring, but the band was, as always, fantastic. I don't think half the audience members owned the new CD, so they had no idea what was going on. I, on the other hand, sang along with every single song.

9/16/10 - My beloved Seattle Storm won the 2010 WNBA Championship, sweeping the Atlanta Dream in three games. It didn't hit me until several days later, when I randomly burst into some of the happiest tears I've ever cried.

10/7/10 - After waiting for 3 1/2 years, I finally saw Brandi Carlile in concert. I sat in the second row, dead center, right across from Brandi's mic stand. She made eye contact with me a few times, and I just about died. She had the entire audience wrapped around her little finger. She sang "A Promise to Keep," which was completely unexpected, and her cover of "Crazy" was stunningly beautiful. Katie Herzig opened for her, and I instantly became a fan.

10/9/10 - My annual fall trip to New York City came earlier than usual this year, but the entire day was perfect. The weather was great, and I got to be in the city on John Lennon's 70th birthday. I celebrated by visiting the new Lennon photo display at the Paley Center.
