music, breakfast and leases

it was a good weekend! although my weekend is sunday/monday….

spent the day at the Treasure Island Music Festival yesterday, which was a smaller, more intimate version of ACL (or at least i keep telling myself that!) the biggest difference? that it was gorgeous—chilly at times—not a buzillion degrees! we set up a blanket between the two stages, camped out, and went back and forth for the handful of great bands all day! the fleet foxes were great (although better at the Mohawk with the ladies a few months ago!) vampire weekend sounded better than i thought they would, was introduced to Port O’Brien and The Kills who were great, and the Raconteurs rocked my face off! we rode the ferris wheel which gave us a gorgeous view of San Francisco and the bay, got a free silkscreened scarf, ate carnie food and laid in the 70 degree weather listening to great music. aah.

today, woke up and jackson and took a long walk into downtown san mateo, stop and ate breakfast outside and read the paper, and ambled back to do laundry and clean blake’s house. then, i went and had dinner with my new landlord to sign my lease. she’s great! i have the kind of feeling talking to her that i have when i meet someone i’m pretty sure i’ll end up being good friends with. she’s about my age, has an exceptionally polite, smart and handsome 7 year old son, and she’s super cool! so i’ve signed my lease! it’s contractually binding and i’m pumped! so i’ll move in the first weekend of october and i’m already plotting and scheming about paint colors and ikea ephemera…

so, back to work tomorrow, but it was a good weekend.

have fun at ACL y’all!

stay still…or rock your face off!
