Halloween weekend 2009

yesterday was the kickoff of the holidays for me. i absolutely adore halloween. of course i love the candy, and the kids in costumes are absolutely adorable. but what i love most of all is that it is the one night that i don;t feel alone in believing in all of the creatures and odd stories and legends i believe in. although last night was uneventful for me in many ways, i take comfort knowing Halloween has been around and will be around for many more years.

friday night was great... jody and i went to visit my grandma for a little while and then subway-ed it in to the city to see TEGAN&SARA at town hall. we had tickets for different seats, but most people didn't show up for the opening act, so we sat together anyway. finally, the woman who's seat i was sitting in came, but she ended up trading with me. i got to sit with jody AND be closer to the stage than originally thought. BUT every seat in the house seemed to be a good one. town hall is a beautiful venue. i'd definitely see a concert there again.

T&S were amazing. they sounded better than they do on cd. they played all of Sainthood and a bunch of other songs too, including WALKING WITH A GHOST, CALL IT OFF, and SPEAK SLOW. they were funny and pleasant. wish i could say the same of some of the audience members.

after the concert, we went back to my grandma's via subway, picked up the car and talked to one of her friends for a little while before heading back to the island to PEE!! and hang out. i got home late and stayed outside til around 4. i tried to look up the woman who gave me her seat, her name was on the ticket but i couldnt find her facebook. thank you if you're out there. who knows, maybe you will find this post.

thanks for a great night jody :)
