Sufjan Stevens Nerd Alert
I finally have time to upload video & pictures from October’s concert, so that’s happening now. Sufjan’s right though, even if you’ve got pictures and video, it’s still not the same experience as being there. Sorry for the crummy quality.

Intangible Assets: I’m no longer embarrassed by my mom’s family and I’ve finally realized how lucky I always was that they put up with my snobbery and elitist attitude.
