January 3rd @ C-Squat

Oh, my, god. SO MUCH FUN! I had the best time last night!!! Thank you everybody for coming out, thank you Judith for being born, and thank you to C Squat for being the most welcoming amazing people I've met in FOREVER!

Yes, it was cold last night, but inside it was nice and toasty. Toasty and dark, with one stage light shining on the stage and a crucified Kermit amidst a throng of graffiti on the wall. I felt like I was high, like in high school when you're hanging out with all your friends, dancing and screaming and just having a great time, seriously, seriously the best time in forever.

We got there for the start of "Dog that Bites Everyone" who are awesome and stayed through until "D60" took the stage. They are my second new favorite band! I'm having a great couple of months- first Trauma Team, now D60. I tell ya, this year is off to an amazing start!

Set List:
-This Happens
-Consider Me Gone
-U-Mass
-Aloof
-Try So Hard
-Modern Love
-Goodbye
-Dance With Me
-I Want You Back

December 4th @ Trash Bar

I like to think that the holidays are all about family and friends and spending time with all the people you love the most, and that's one of the many reasons why every year I like to throw a holiday party for all my friends where we can all go, drink, eat, and well, be merry. And that's exactly what we did!

I don't know about you guys, but I was just glowing that night because so many of my favorite people were all in one place. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice" (Mark, Ryan and Green Andy's new metal band) were on before us and they rocked it! I was honored to wear a homemade NSNSND arm band that Mark made for me for the occasion. That's right, because I'm special. :)

It was a cover-ful evening, we opened with "All I Want for Christmas" which is my new favorite Christmas tune. (Let me just say we've been watching Love Actually non-stop since about November.) and I played a little U-Mass for Danny, Mark and the Hampshire gang in honor of the Pixies performance the week before. And I'll take any excuse I can get to cover a Weezer song... cause it's a holiday party. Get it? A "Holiday" party.

I also just want to give a special shout out to Trauma Team 666 who were there and who seriously, if you guys haven't seen them, are like, the best new New York band ever. They are just A-MAZ-ING. I can't even tell you. I've been trying to see them for a couple of years now and I finally got to and it was the best time! And also to Jacob Chabot for coming out- Jacob I know you are super f-ing busy and really didn't have time at all to do that, but I really appreciate you coming out anyway!

And to everyone else that made it such a special evening, thank you so much for coming, Carl for coming all the way from Boston, Donna for being my faithful warrior, and everyone else- we had such a great time, despite the cold, despite the crappy year, despite everything, having that one night to spend with all our friends really made it worth it, so thank you guys for everything. We love you!!!
