stephen surprised me with tickets to see mates of state at the troc. i really didn't want to be away from micah, but i could tell my mom was excited to actually get to babysit him. jess met me up at my place and she drove us down. crazy how it takes less time to get to a concert in philly when you live in philly. getting back to my place is always a little confusing. we accidentally got onto 95 when we were coming home from seeing anberlin last fall. if rodney was home, we would have had him look up the train schedule. it seems like the smarter thing to do since my place is train station adjacent. next time.

anyways, about the concert...they were awesome (of course). jess and i are once again determined to be in a band. stephen believes his band is going to be on hiatus soon, so we are going to try and break him down (he has sworn he never wants to be in a band with me).
