More specifically, we're planning on seeing Classics of Love (Jesse Michaels's newest band) at 924 Gilman Street. I have no idea what the area is like or anything, but I'm really excited! Last year we went up to New York for a weekend to see The Aquabats and DJ Lance play. We had an amazing and awesome, so hopefully this trip will be just as fun. I cannot wait! We should be booking the flight and hotel by the end of September / beginning of October. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dictioncanary:7831 2009-08-27T19:38:00Z 2009-08-27T19:38:00Z Common Rider - Dixie Roadrash I entered one of my photos of Buster in the Cutest Dog Photo Contest and would lovelovelove it if you guys could vote it here: <a href="http://bit.ly/dAZFv">http://bit.ly/dAZFv</a><br /><br /><center><a href="http://bit.ly/dAZFv"><br /><img src="http://www.cutestdogcompetition.com/photos/1251399324busteriscute.JPG" /></a></center> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dictioncanary:5316 2009-06-20T22:04:05Z 2009-06-20T22:04:05Z Would anyone like to do a swap with me? I've been getting nothing but bills and junk in the mail. It would really cheer me up to get something - anything! - besides shitty bills. If anyone's interested, just let me know! Feel free to email me your address and I'll get back to you with mine. dictioncanary@gmail.com I've known some of you for years, so I know I can trust everyone on my friends' list.

Things are getting better. There were a few setbacks, but I can't and <b>won't</b> let them get to me. I can't forget who I was and am. I've changed, I know it, but I can't let anyone convince me it's been for the worse. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dictioncanary:1044 2008-04-10T16:28:06Z 2008-04-10T16:29:37Z <div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dictioncanary/2399674494/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2418/2399674494_ea95b7d6b7_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dictioncanary/2399674494/">The Weakerthans @ The Social (04.05.08)</a> <br /> Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/dictioncanary/">dictioncanary</a> </span></div>I went up to Orlando with my sister to go one of my all-time favorite bands, The Weakerthans. It was pouring, we got lost and I slightly freaked out, but it was totally worth it. I've loved them for eight years and I finallyfinallyfinally got to see them perform. yaayyyy! There really are just no words to describe what an amazing show that was.<br clear="all" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dictioncanary:598 2008-01-21T17:10:02Z 2008-01-30T15:19:43Z New beginnings, I guess. I wish this new beginning didn't involve feeling like utter shit 98% of the time.
