Happy Birthday Earth

On Sunday, I went down to DC for the Earth Day festival with Ben, Mike, Nick and Nick's roommate Natan.

There was a main stage with speakers and bands all afternoon, but we were there to see The Flaming Lips, and they did not disappoint.

Wayne even went in the bubble for a little bit!



Oh, and by the way:

Jer's Brother, the Rock Star

I had a lovely Wednesday last week... my good college friend Jerry visited during his spring break from VTech Architecture. Conveniently, his brother's band Vetiver was playing at Sonar with Beach House.

Show was good AND I got to hang with Jer AND I got to meet 2 rockstars - his brother and brother's girlfriend.


Sarah. Jerry. Me.
Delaware class of 2007.

Definitely the highpoint of the week :D
A lovely hump-day treat.

Ahh Like a Good Old Fashion Nightmare
