Yesterday I found out that Madeleine Peyroux was playing in my school with Martha Wainwright as her support act. At the time I was so excited to buy the tickets, and then today I almost backed out because I just learned that there might be something pretty bad going on with the airbag of the Subaru. My mechanic Mr. Chen's guys couldn't fix it and they told me to go to--gasp!--the dealer, where it's going to cost me $94 just to have it diagnosed, and then repair costs shall thereafter be added. Yuck.
So earlier today I begrudgingly decided not to buy the tickets. The idea didn't sit too well with me though, and I figured if I didn't go, I'd regret it like I regret not seeing Sonic Youth or John Cale or Martha W's bro Rufus, or even Billy Corgan when he read poetry in the area recently. I changed my mind this afternoon and went to school and got the tickets. They weren't that expensive, since GW students get a huge discount, but we have to sit far so in effect we kind of don't get a discount. I'm happy I bought the tickets. I don't really get to do anything I want while school's going on, and I figure that this just might be my last concert of the year.
Today was also Sophie's second birthday. Happy Birthday, Soph! Pictures to come up pretty soon.
