A Day of Firsts (Dr. Jekyll)

So I flew my first kite today, it was very fun and not as difficult as I thought it would be. After Senior Seminar Allison, Harmony, Rachel and I went to buy kites at Target to fly at Whetstone Park. I always find it odd when merchandise sold in the U.S. has the English translated into French, personne ne parle le français dans les États-Unis, (translation: Nobody speaks French in the US.) My poisson (fish) kite was the bomb, it was the only one that flew for more than a few seconds, a great deal at $4.99.

After school I got a call from Jessi asking me if I wanted to go to a concert tonight at 7:00. So I went and at 8:00pm at The Basement attended my first concert (that wasn't chamber music). Ludo was headlining but Pretty Balanced was opening for them. I remember Pretty Balanced from either The Graham School Carnival or Cinco de Mayo during Sophomore Year. They played in the parking lot with what I remember to be terrible acoustics. They were much better sounding in an enclosed space (great sounding in fact), I bought a CD which upon opening learned that Noah did the album art for. We had to leave before Ludo had even finished their first song but for what its worth the first minute and thirteen seconds of whatever song they were playing sounded awesome. As did the whole set of Liam and Me. I wonder does any music sound great so long as its being blasted in your ear to the point of temporary deafness? Whatever the answer maybe I'm grateful for the experience. I have an eye/ ear/ headache so I'm going to go try and sleep it off ( in a grateful manner, of course).

Until next time...
