after a long day at work, a quick disco nap, and an hour standing outside in the cold, we (tom, jon, robyn, jon’s sister and me) saw a show that started, with an opening act, at 10:30 pm, friday! a late night was had by all.

mates of state made it all worth it though. it was a very bouncy show compared to the more low-key show we saw them do last time. very fun. click here for five songs tom grabbed while playing around with his new camera.

seriously, can they be any cuter?

(she has also affirmed, for me, that my renewed love of leg-warmers this winter is a-ok.)

they finished with a tom waits song that makes me super excited for their upcoming covers album. i adore a good, interesting, cover of a great song.

this is some sort of crazy weekend! MoS friday, cleaning and a haircut saturday, a book launch party sunday early and another rock show sunday night. i guess i’ll sleep at work on monday.
