Rainy Sundays

I do like the rain, just not when I am torturing my brain for inconsequential tidbits of information that I supposedly learned months ago. And when was the last time the sun was out? Honestly! I haven't blogged about last night yet. I went to Providence to see Ted Leo at a small gallery/club, my true intention being to get some good photographs. The AS220 Gallery was crowded with all sorts of unique looking people. There was a mob of tattooed skin and bizarre piercings. Upon arriving I discovered that Titus Andronicus was opening and I was thrilled since they are a great band. Anyways the gig was scheduled to start at 9 but a massive gay pride parade delayed the show by an hour. The streets were so full. When the band started playing I was conveniently perched on some steps to the left of the stage and was about 6 feet from the lead singer, Patrick who had an incredibly large and black beard. After the show I saw him by a van smoking a cigarette. I approached him and we started talking briefly. He told me that his middle name was Joseph. I felt so cool standing with him. But back to the show, they had a great energy and it was fun being in such an intimate setting. Due to the delay I only got to see a little of Ted Leo but it was a successful evening nonetheless. If it was any other weekend I would be raving about the show, but after Andrew Bird, no show can quite compare. Still, I was happy to have quite the musical weekend. P.S. listen to Graveyard Girl by M83 or Titus Andronicus by Titus Andronicus.
Today was filled with me attempting (unsuccessfully) to study. I just can't focus and I don't even have a final tomorrow. I felt like studying was going to be a waste from the get-go which can't have helped matters. The best moment of the day was when I decided to go for a run in the heavy rain. I jumped in every puddle and then climbed onto my roof. I sat there for 15 minutes letting the rain hit me. This weekend has been superb. Or at least Friday was.
