Night of the $6 concert

Went and saw The Hold Steady and Sonic Youth tonight at the TLA, and it was a pretty mindblowing show for a few reasons. The Hold Steady opened and absolutely killed it, I just wish that they would have played longer (and louder...). Sonic Youth was also sounded really great and did two encores. Oh and they were giving out posters on the way out.

This was a hell of a way to start my vacation, and I'm off until the middle/end of next week with nothing major planned. I do want to hit LBI one day (and probably bike end to end and back), I forsee a bowling trip, and I'm also planning on some speaker installation/subwoofer box building/other car stuff. And who could forget everyone's favorite: laundry. It's almost weird, but I actually feel bad taking a few days off from work because we've been making really good progress and we're already getting together our first paper to be published (and more are on the way). Just a mental note - I still need to check with the ECE Office to see if I'm actually getting my degree next week.

So, if you've got any bright ideas or just want to spend a little quality time with your favorite Vacirca (and who wouldn't?) you know how to reach me. Oh and also, stop stalking me. It's not good for you.
