doves are playing in the man's chester ON MY BIRTHDAY!
i know i've complained about doves live, but i would definitely consider giving them another chance, since i think they make wonderfully gorgeous music...

in other news,
there will be 29 people at our thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

and also, i skipped a bunch of girliness in my description of the Tumi and the Volume show - so i'm inserting it here, hehe...
alimac and i were sitting at the back of the venue where Tumi happened to be sitting... one at a time the other band members joined him. then they asked us if we had a pen. to write their setlist! i at first gave them a red pen. then we realized they were writing on pink flyers. so i offered my black pen. and the drummer was sooo smiley and cute in his red hoodie. after the show we chatted with them for a second or two out front and the drummer came up and extended his hand for a handshake. :) in his red hoodie. he looked real cute. they will try to play in europe, specifically in france, for me. that's what i interpret from what they said anyways. ;)
and i haven't even mentioned the headliner yet!

k'naan - the dusty foot philosopher. SO very good. i'm not usually a lyrics person and silly enough, i don't/can't usually follow hiphop lyrics, but with him, i was totally listening and soaking in everything he said... was great.
i think he's about to go on tour in europe so i hope i can see him again soon.
a very socially conscious 'hip hop' artist - having been a refugee from somalia.. one of my favourite lines goes something like this:
"If I rhymed about home and got descriptive / I'd make 50 Cent look like Limp Bizkit."
a good read here
