excitement BEGIN!!!!!

yep. it's official. Crash Kings Week: August Edition has started!!!!!

my horoscope on sunday said that i should expect an excellent week. no doubt! oh boy i'm so freaking excited.

and - let's just recap how much TUESDAY (today) IS GONNA ROCK:

1. i'm meeting up with EMILY, JENNY, DAVID and JENNY'S BOYFRIEND WHO I HAVEN'T MET YET for lunch!!!!!! i'm so excited to see everybody!!!! Emily and Jenny were my orientation leaders in college and my very first friends! we're meeting up in Central Square.
2. then once everyone departs, i'm hanging out in the square until i meet up with RYAN and JO!!! my totally awesome Crash Kings friends!!!!!
3. AND THEN WE'RE SEEING CRASH KINGS!!!!! In the very spot where we all FIRST saw them. and nobody had any idea who they were. and now what a huge part of all of our lives they are.

wow. i have an awesome day in store. i just have to go to sleep and then wake up and it will start!!!! it's like CHRISTMAS!!!!

and then the awesome just won't stop for nothing, because WEDNESDAY we're in PROVIDENCE and THURSDAY we're in BURLINGTON.

i painted my toenails purple and my fingernails green - so i'm all set. i did some laundry, so i've got clothes, including my pink CK shirt.

OK, can i just say something: I just watched the movie 'Dear John,' and i didn't really like it. um, it was so gross how she married that guy! and from there on out, i just didn't like it. did they end up together? ya know what - i don't even care. i didn't like it. it didn't even make me cry because i felt hardly any emotion for the characters.

ok that's it.

i actually should get to bed now. it's almost 2am. i'm planning on leaving here by 9. PLANNING.

i watched this Crash Kings video on youtube the other night and was totally impressed with Mike, who was KILLING the harmonies on Non Believer.

one thing that was AWESOME about the Portsmouth show, was that since Tony's microphone was never working, you could mainly only hear Mike singing the harmony. and AGAIN - he rocked it. and he got the days of the week right! yeah, he's awesome.

i hope the big surprise at the Boston show tonight is that he sings the harmony on Saving Grace!!!!

whoops... i wasn't supposed to say anything about the surprise. don't tell anyone i said that.

(but how awesome would that harmony be?!!?!?!?)

anyways, here's the video of a really beautiful version of Non Believer from when they were in Columbus, OH last week. the audio is so-so, but you can still hear it pretty well. and also - Tony is wearing a hat.


take care, friends!! i'm sure i'll do nonsensical post-concert updates for you all! have a great week!!

love, Julie!
