...you must set yourSELF on fire.
This is a lyric that always cracked me and Michael up quite a bit. Stars. I saw them open for Death Cab a couple of years ago.
This was my Memorial Day Weekend (sorry, no pictures. I was just living life):
Friday - Opening Gala for the UW Senior Thesis Art Show at the Henry. Delightful company. So many creatively-dressed patrons. A scavenged buffet table. Then: Nanaimo Bars. Cinerama. Indiana Jones.
Saturday - Coffee with a very dear friend. Fall-down laughs. A bus ride. Folklife. Delicious dinner and conversation with a roommate. A walk through the dusk drinking organic strawberry lemonade. Feeling like kids. Falling asleep on the couch. Welcoming in a friend at 2am.
Sunday - Roadtrip to the east. Sunlight on trees and miles of green. Sasquatch! Blue Scholars, Cold War Kids, White Rabbits, Tegan & Sara, Rogue Wave, Mates of State, The Kooks in the sun. Running into friends. Death Cab at sunset. The Cure under the stars. Falling asleep in a bunk bed.
Monday - Breakfast and anecdotes at a beautfully set table. Wind in my hair all the way home. A barbecue at the home of beloved friends. Swinging in a hammock. Lying in the grass. Crawling in bed early for a sleep full of dreams...
Tonight I fly south. Yes, again. It seems these days and weekends of escape are never quite enough to satisfy.

I am singing a little tune from Annie... Tomorrow, tomorrow... Can't wait to see you!
i can't believe you're in cali again. you live a very full life. and, stars....
are canadian. I read an article somewhere saying that Montreal is the new Seattle because all of these bands are coming out of there, like arcade fire and stars... i didn't buy it.
i love stars. and actually just before i read this, i had heard that song about setting yourself on fire. i was walking home listening to my ipod and i just laughed to myself.
folklife and art with you was fab.
i need to see more of you.
