matt & kim postponed

i have been blasted matt & kim for weeks, getting hyped up for their concert at canal club this friday.. and they had to cancel due to matt's back injury! super bummer.. they are planning on rescheduling sometime later this summer.

indeed, the greatest minute and a half i have spent in a long time!

things..

i want:
to paint my bike a beautiful shade of purple
get a hold of casey's guitar and learn to play it
a comfy new bicycle seat
new earbuds
old/new furniture
a new shade of nail polish
wall art
a new mirror, like rumor's miracle mirror
to fill the void in my envelope necklace
a new phone to replace my beer phone
