Disconnect the dots.: July 2009

This summer has been such a great one. I'm glad, because I want a nice college send-off. I went to a little going away party for Christina since she is now in Europe. I also got a taste of my first ever LAN party! :P I won't lie, it was actually pretty interesting. If I get better at Warcraft 3 I will totally join in on the fun. Richie and I hung out on Friday and he bought me some ice cream from DQ. :) Saturday I went with Haileigh to Jacktown in Bangor, PA where we pretty much got to act like we were five. I went out to lunch with my mom, and we did some college shopping! I won't lie, it was a little weird. I got a ton of cute stuff, but it just set in that day that I'm gonig away. Today was equally awesome. Haileigh took me to the Viaduct in Blairstown. It's basically one giant art project/ Post Secret book in real life.

So these past few days have been fantastic. I'm glad summer is working out so well! After work the other day I slept over Haileigh's house. This meant I FINALLY got to see my friend Gabby! :D Old Navy has pretty much made her their slave, so we often find few days to hang out. The next day we set out for Blue Mountain Lake, possibly the most scenic place I've ever been to. We swam, went cliff/rock jumping, met some new people whose names we did not actually discover, and we even got some pizza later! All in all it was a great day, and I even went bowling later.

Now, this next event was something fantastic as well. I saw Tally Hall for the second time right? Well, this time they were on a boat! :D I drove with Christina and Ben to the Dover bus station (after being a little lost hehe), and we caught a bus to Port Authority. I navigated us through the subway system to 23rd and F.D.R., then Ben spotted the Half Moon (the ship where the performance was). Let me just say this...I fucking love Tally Hall. Their opening band was April Smith and The Great Picture Show. Soooo cute!

My favorite songs of hers were "Terrible Things" and "Colors". She had a great voice, and also note that she was using Ross, Tally Hall's drummer, as hers. Love it. Later on Christina and I befriended Marty O'Kane, that really cute one next to April! At long last Tally Hall came on, and I was ecstatic. I had seen them once before, but never at a venue like this, and you can never get tired of them. They're different at every show! The played a bunch of new songs, and covered "Happy Together" along with "Just A Friend", of course. In between songs they'd do a little beat boxing and they played my favorite song by them EVER, "Spring and a Storm".

After the show we rushed to the lower deck and struck up conversation with the bands. I also did this the last time, but this time was pretty epic. My camera was dying so we took epic pictures on Christina's camera. This is why I love Tally Hall.

Battleship anyone? He was totally cheating.

Joe is the love of my life <3.

Rob, Zubin, and I created a human pretzel.

Andrew and I, he is so cute! :)

Our new friend Marty! :D

This was after the show on the walk to the subway. I enjoy it, because Ben and I look so badass and seems like it should be an album cover. We got back to Port Authority and grabbed food, then we caught the bus. I just took 80 home to make life easy, and dropped everyone off. Such a good night. Tally Hall in New York City is an equation for success. Oh and thanks Christina for the with the band pictures and this last one!

Then last night I went mini golfing with Haileigh and Amanda Haar! :D I won!
