random photo updates.

here are some randoms given to me from photographer joe lemke!

warped tour & the koo koo/tommy & kari bday party!

broad ripple is burning.

i have been SO busy applying to different places to work. no luck so far. cross your fingers for me and send out good vibes my way. when i am not job searching i am usually brain-fried, so i am sorry for the lack of updates. one day they will come again soon.

AWESOME things i did in the past two weeks:

• pavement concert. i felt like i was transported back into the '90s. LOVED it.
• farewell continental show at an art gallery. a lot of good music was played that night.
• margot and the nuclear so & so's show. the show was much better than i anticipated. us girls got to hug hellos to the ever-lovely violinist, cookies, who we got to know last time around and who, graciously, put heather and i on the list for the show. and they played "broad ripple is burning"! swoon. they played the demo/b-side greats like they were going out of style. i was impressed.
• the flaming lips concert! WHOA. talk about a trippy party. i was literally entranced the whole show. the confetti. the balloons. the naked hippie girls dancing across the monitors. amazing.
• the acoustic MCS show for the HUGE improv theater fundraiser. oh, the fun we all had. what a sing-a-long laugh party. justin and josh mckay did a great job.
• hanging out with my dad and sister at dinner and to see the movie the town. was very good times.
• a LOT of mad men with justin. he is loving it! i hoped he would. into season two now.

ANNOYING things i have been up to:

• applying for a million jobs and getting denied. denied!? i know that if i could JUST snag a little-bitty interview that they would love me and hire me. i mean, c'mon, companies! give me a chance. an itty-bitty chance. sad face panda shark. right here. that's me.

and here is a little margot and the nuclear so & so's for you. if you have never heard them, this is you chance to fall in love.

BONFIRE!

Laura's Wedding: In Photos (Shelly Mossman)

twins game!

went to the twins game on thursday with justin and his parents. BEST SEATS EVER. it was my first time at the new stadium. so beautiful, and i love the new outdoors-ness to it. i felt like i had actually done something worthwhile that night. so much fun. and the pretzel and cheese and cotton candy were pretty awesome too.

things i did and enjoyed:
