you say you don't believe in science

there are a few shows in life where you can point out the exact moment where your life has been changed.

the tai, afs, trs, sherwood show would be one of those shows... it was a long moment. the rocket summer made me so happy, even more than at warped. two rounds of confetti. so much love. e and i danced like fools, but fortunately, i kept the footloose dance at a complete minimum aka didn't dance like that at all. good thing since.. well. that would've been another embarassing moment. it was enough looking idiotic in front of an ex-smashing pumpkins member.

armor for sleep reminded me of the soco days when they opened w/ straylight run & tai in vegas. good times. i recognized a lot of the old songs & ben wore a cardigan. they have a new album out in oct., which i might have to go get.

the academy is. i hadn't seen them headline since last march for truckstops and statelines. that was one insane weekend. it's been TOO long. will's voice was freaking AMAZING, and their live show has developed so much. i sang all the words and looked AWESOME LIKE I WAS 12. honestly, i didn't stop smiling for a second during their whole set. old faves, new faves. butch walker appearance. 40 steps = LOVE. awkward introduction to neighbors:
butcher: so, i have a lot of friends in la. *fiddles with drum kit for a minute*
william: so, butcher has a lot of friends in la.
butcher: oh sorry. we're going to play neighbors.
me: what?

also aside from the near-embarassing incident of dancing around like an idiot, caught up with some people. babydoll. twins. metal. i was mean... skeptics (and true believers). spotted: darren from the hush sound! (he's adorbs. fyi.)

so don't explain...
WHY?

off to street scene tomorrow morning. do i need to stay up all night to finish my reading? probs.
