THE BIG APPLE, WHERE PEOPLE NEVER DANCE...

I can't believe I'm actually doing it!!! KYAA~!!
My mother and I are going to New York City!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!
I'm going to take a tour of NYU and Columbia and do all the touristy things one must in New York City.

This summer is pretty damn awesome if you ask me.
Karen has basically lounged around the house with me since graduation, laughing until 3 or 4 in the morning and then watching Chloe the next day.
We went to Las Vegas, my first trip out of state I might add, and it was like being in a fucking oven.
I would never ever want to live there.
We didn't get to stay in a hotel because Tina's dad lives in Boulder City, so we stayed indoors and watched Pretty in Pink all day.
The whole reason we went to Vegas was to see The Fray in concert at the Palms.
Not only did we see The Fray, but we also saw Jack's Mannequin and some other band (whose name I've forgotten) from Colorado.
Jack's Mannequin was way too Emo for my taste and the only reason I knew one of their songs was because my cousins are into Emo music.
Other than that, they were verging on annoying and their fans were a little too into it. lol.
There was this one guy sitting in the seats behind us that had a Jack's Mannequin's shirt on and was rockin' out and singing by himself.
It would be a different story if he had people around him that were as into it as he was, or even one other person, but he was by himself and his girlfriend looked mortified.
We pretty much watched this guy the whole time they were playing because it was a lot more entertaining than watching the singer defecate all over his beautiful piano.
The Fray on the other hand were absolutely stunning.
I only knew a couple of their songs, meaning the popular ones on the radio, but they did not disappoint.
We listened to their CD's the whole way to Vegas, so I was familiar with some of them and I can honestly say that they sound ten times better live than on their CD, which is really impressive.
Overall, I thought it was a really great concert.
Our feet hurt like hell by the end, but I'd say it was worth it.

There are so many great bands touring right now...I'm dying to see them all, but that's impossible.
Franz Ferdinand is touring with Green Day (whom I can really do without) and Paramore is touring with No Doubt. I want to see Paramore and No Doubt so badly, but all the concerts in LA are sold out. The Arctic Monkeys are also playing in LA and I want to see them!!!
Karen and I were going to see Regina Spektor last night, but all my attempts at getting us tickets failed. Her show sold out really fast, which is kind of cool, I guess.
I found out that she's playing at the Greek Theater though, so there's no way in hell I'm missing that. :)
On top of that, Auntie, my Mom, Sarah, and I are going to see Jason Mraz in October!!! AHHHH!!!
