Kate Nash

On St. Patrick's Day I got to see Kate Nash in concert for the very first time! I feel like I've loved her forever, so I was ecstatic when I found out she was coming to Grand Rapids! Here are a few pictures: )

She is so beautiful and wonderful and has the best voice you've ever heard. She is also a great advocate for women and mentioned more than once that certain words in her songs were "non-gender specific" and how if you're a woman and you want to make music how you shouldn't be afraid and you should just go for it! All this in a British accent, btw.

Her band was also all girls! As was the opening band, Supercute! If you haven't listened to Kate Nash, take this opportunity to check out her new album, Girl Talk. Her old albums are brilliant as well!

Check out Plan USA, the charity she is working with! They are doing great things.

Are you a fan yet?!

Regina Spektor

I'm so excited because tonight Andrew and I get to officially celebrate our two year anniversary. It was actually two months ago, but my gift to him was a ticket to see Regina Spektor tonight! I've always been aware of her, but never listened much until I met him. Plus, we haven't been to a concert in a while. Have any of you ever seen her live? This should be a great start to the week!

Time for some java so I can stay awake for the show!

it's been a while. sorry colleen!

so much has happened lately, good and bad. and i'm about to graduate from college, which is crazy. i keep thinking about how i need to do a bunch of stuff and see a lot of people before i leave.

anyway, the someone still loves you boris yeltsin concert that i set up was last monday. i put so much time into it, and it was definitely worth it. a lot of people at ferris like them now! and i'm just proud of myself for organizing the whole thing. the band stayed at our house after the show and we had a great time chatrouletting, drinking, and exchanging recipes and stories. i don't think many people can say they hang out with their favorite band all night, so as dorky as it sounds, it was really kind of a dream come true. yeah!

in other news, i've met a lot of great people lately. i'm really upset that i didn't meet any of them sooner, because now i'm leaving forever in three weeks! er, going to port huron for the summer and not coming back to big rapids in the fall. but seriously, better late than never i guess. i'm afraid to graduate. ughhh.
