  • may 15, 2009: live music at the big bear with richard. $5 to get in, half the proceeds go to the animal shelter. hand stamped with 'it's a boy!' haha. mike libertoski acoustic, then the-pick-me-ups like white noise, like a string of foreign words; the lead singer a tall gangly thing in a band tee. then some random band singing about 'she'll take me anywhere,' the lead singer reminded me of joseph from king of the hill- yellow duct tape on his ripped jeans & converse. me in my green gap banker button up shirt, my dark aero jeans, my oversized bag sticking out like a sore thumb, richard too. everyone was punk. it was fun though, & completely relevant after reading the perks of being a wallflower. it was exactly what i needed that night.
