3.06 11/5/07 [fundraising]

yay fundraising! annnnd yay birthday! yes, this lovely day coincided with my 20th bday, neat. last year's fundraising was a little sad because i tried to make an awesome show but then no one pledged because oh it was from 2-4 am. so i was trying to be a bit more optimistic this year. anyway, it was an ok show, and i raised about $180. cool! also, my little sister said that she loved every song :)

Welllp let's see. This was an interesting show - I described the music as eclectic. I was in a funny, ie meh, mood when I was making it. But apparently it was ok - my dad was like, I actually liked it. Which is fairly insulting but yeah. This week's giveaway was another pair of tickets to see the lovely Darjeeling Limited.

Next week is... Fundraising Week! So exciting. It also happens to be my 20th (!) bday that day. So I really hope that I get some pledges this time - last year I didn't get any, but the 2-4 slot wasn't so conducive to that. And my family is going to at least pledge, haha. But yeah I hope it will be good!!!!

Oh yeah and concerts - New Pornographers were really good! They were really great live, if not especially chatty, and they played basically all of my favorite songs except The Jessica Numbers, ah well. They played my friend's favorite and he was ecstatic. They had maracas that looked like fruit! :) ANNNNND ok so last Friday I was running the BU loop and as I went by BU, I saw a poster for a free Kevin Devine concert that evening. I definitely did a triple-take, and then ran faster than I probably ever have back to my dorm to get more info. It was at BU Central, free, so I went there that night and ahhhhh it was amazing! I've never seen him headline, only open (for Matt Pond PA & Brand New), so this was a totally new experience. It was quite possibly the most fun show that I have ever been to. He played for about 2 hrs, and just told funny stories, played a dozen or more cover songs, and was awesome. Such a great great time :) He's playing at TT's the 10th, but only opening, so we'll see if I end up going. Yay!
