I woke up yesterday morning feeling incredibly bummed that I was missing the show at the church. That's when Joanna texted me and told me that she still really wanted to go/figure out a way to. So, I ordered our tickets and met her at her work right when she got off. She drove up to the show, we found free parking only like 3 blocks from the venue, and got inside just in time to see Tigers Jaw. The set was shorter than usual, but they played the 3 songs off the new album that I wanted to hear. I ran into Nora and spent Algernon's set with her. She's so adorable/lovable/fun to be around. Seeing Algernon without the usual group of kids feels kind of weird, but I still managed to have fun. Being alone and crowd surfing to "Some Kind of Cadwallader" made me miss Nick a lot. I tried finding Adam a lot around this time, but he seemed to be nowhere. I went outside with Brett for him to have a cigarette and we ran into Sabrina. We talked to her a while and she made me promise to actually keep in touch. Menzingers set was absolutely nothing short of ridiculous, as usual. They played ALL the songs I wanted them to play. I had 150+ pound men landing on my head for about 80% of the set and I was in A LOT of pain. Of course, always being the smallest person up front, sucked it up. I saw Dennis in the crowd randomly and received a very warm welcoming from him. I kind of miss seeing him every weekend. They played Tasker-Morris station and I felt really bummed that Tesla wasn't there too. During Sunday Morning, Hunter and I stage dove together and held hands in the air and screamed the words together. It was cute. Everyone ended up on the stage screaming the words and a nice dude saw me get thrown around and asked if I was okay, then helped me get back up. After this, I ended up falling into Vinny, who picked me up, squeezed me, and sang to me. Knowing that this is where we are, from where we were, is... just crazy.

I always feel in between in regards to where I am and where I want to go. Nights like last night make me realize how great what I have right in my hands is and how much I'm really going to miss. The Philadelphia skyline is completely embedded in my mind.
