Would You Give Me a Beat?

Current feeling: King Krule meets Beach Fossils. Not necessarily sadness, because I don't feel all that sad, but more like foggy. Think late night walks and Palo Alto. Lost in Translation. Lying in bed with Jack Kilmer.
That last one has nothing to do with how I feel, I just like thinking about it.
Summer hasn't done much for me so far except render me nearly nocturnal. Binge watching Broad City and Orange is the New Black probably hasn't been helping, but that's something I'm willing to live with.

I've been listening to these two playlists lately.

*Robert Plant moaning*

Monday night I got to see Robert Plant in concert. It was kind of amazing. And by kind of, I mean it was fucking amazing. Everything about the concert was amazing. Aside from the fact I WAS LOOKING ROBERT PLANT IN THE FACE, the venue was sort of in the middle of a small forest, right next to a gorgeous lake. So naturally, it was perfect. Then, the crowd was excellent as well. We had a 60 year old ex-hippie doing these spiritual dance moves to the left and some older couple that probably met at a Zeppelin concert in '73 sucking face behind us the whole time. Just glorious. Not to mention the drunk guy we ran into on our way out, who made sure we knew that
"this town sucks, man. They were supposed to go on until 11, man. What a bunch of yuppies, man."
Also, the band that opened for Robert Plant was the PIXIES. So yeah. It was pretty cool. Lots of rocking out and screaming my proclamations of love for Robert Plant occurred.

Afterwards, we got milkshakes from Cook-Out and watched Pink Floyd The Wall.
Well, I did. The other two passed out before the movie even got going. Oh well. More weird dreams for me.

Sidenote: I'm totally naming my future punk band, The Yuppies.

Forward Together

What Happened Wednesday Pt. 2 // Women's Rights

The second half of Wednesday was spent with some more wonderful friends. We went and got lunch and then went to a women's rights rally being held at the city's Legislation building. 

The crowd gathered inside the building. We listened to some guest speakers. 

"Her name's Shadow. She's a feminist."

An accidental shot, but I love it anyways. 

We met a girl at the rally who had just moved into town 3 days ago. Maggie mentioned it was her birthday so the girl gave Maggie her sign as a gift. 

Look at all the Nature

What Happened Wednesday Pt. 1 // Nature 

Wednesday morning, Britt took me and Hunter to the city's arboretum. We grabbed our backpacks and spent the day exploring nature. 

Lots of enchanted forest vibes

"Woah that tree has eyes"

An Unexpected Day Out

This past Sunday I went to the local contemporary art museum to take a look at their newest exhibits. Not even 5 minutes after I walked in, I ran into my friend Jeremiah! The following are photo's I took on our unexpected day out together. 

After soaking in the art vibes, we did what we always do. Find the nearest parking deck. 

Jeremiah doin' some rooftop trespassing....

We found our friends' name etched into this brick wall from the last time we were on this particular parking deck! (Back in January. I have another post on here with a picture of her carving it in)

Overall, it was way too hot out and it was Sunday so literally everything was closed. It still ended up being a lovely day though. 

By the End of the Hour

I don't have many thoughts on the matter. Just feelings. 

The people and the city are the reason I wake up excited and go to sleep satisfied.
