Well, it's been a little while since I've updated, but I get on the plane on Saturday the 27th. If you're counting, that's 6 days away. Holy smokes!

Last week I went to see Weezer with my girlfriend Christina, my friend Brie, and Christina's sister Patience. It was a fun show. Sparta and Dashboard Confessional opened. I was really looking forward to Sparta because apparently it's the guys from At the Drive In, but I was a little disappointed because their stage presence wasn't anywhere near as good as At the Drive In's. They sounded really good though, so I think I'll pick up their full-length whenever it comes out. Dashboard Confessional was basically just what I expected. They sounded good for a while, but got boring real quick. Weezer was a lot of fun though. They played stuff from every album, mostly Pinkerton suprisingly, which worked well since I'm about to go to Japan and two songs on the album are about Japan. When they played the song "across the sea" I started to feel all emotional.

"You are 18 year old girl who lives in small city in Japan..."
Hey. I'll be that girl! Well not exactly... Hmm.

The coolest part of the show was in the middle of the set when they lifted the drummer above the stage revealing a huge flashing W beneith him that shot fire out of the sides to the beat of the music. It was pretty awesome.

I wrote everything above this line on July 21st, but never posted it because I realized that everything I wrote is pretty much uninteresting to anyone but me (I think). So I'm just going to quit writing this, post it somewhere in the depths of the web page and from this point out just write stuff that might be interesting to read (hopefully). So quit reading this and skip ahead!
