delay - the max levine ensemble - good luck - underdogs of nipomo - beyond dark hills at the legion of doom tonight.
it's always exciting when friends come from their respective cities to columbus, but when they all pick the same weekend it can be somewhat overwhelming. there are kids at our house from lexington, cincinnati, bloomington, cleveland, and dc all for the show tonight. it's a pretty commendable feeling to know that your friend's music can bring people together for one night.
i walked to ali baba's to get a falafel and to meet up with everyone as soon as i woke up. afterwards we spent an hour plus in used kids browsing the collection of used records, tapes, and cds. i was looking for the nerves ep but i read later that it is virtually impossible to find. the article said "if you run across it, snatch it up, it's wonderful." when people visit, i find myself taking advantage of things that i typically take for granted.
i came home and listened to power pop alone in my room for most of the afternoon. now it's time to go to the show. there will be plenty of time to hang out with everyone there.
