Glory Days

In lieu of any trips more trips to places like Timbuktu, I've been having a bit of fun in London.

On Tuesday, I got to see fantastic indie artist called Bright Eyes, who I last saw in London during his electronic tour the week of the July 7 bombings. He's one of those a great performers I wish I could see every week.

Then on Wednesday, I continued my pursuit of craziness with a trip up to Camden to see my favorite punk band, Against Me! -- that my friend Bryan and I also saw last year. I've been to a bunch of their shows, and have been thinking that I'll look back on these days with a big smile on my face. The last show we were at was even released as a live album. Here's a couple of pics that give you just a taste of how crazy it was and how close we were (the Underworld is not a very big place):




Did you notice that crazy guy in the background? What's his deal?? I was definitely more scared of him than the little punk kid with the mohawk who was in front of me.

Anyway, my "misspent" youth (yes, I know I'm no longer 15) got me thinking about what other things I might fit into my glory days list. Here's one:


Go NHS!!

Cheers,

Egads.

(and all the old flame-red embarrassment of having once been a JV cheerleader has come flooding back...)

I'm going to go stick my head in a bucket of ice water.
