IM Goin’ 2 FNL @ IWU 2nite
Yeah, I'm getting into the IM lingo...not. So I've decided to boycot Cheap Thrills tonite and have instead opted to attend a show called FNL at IWU (FYI: FNL="Friday Night Live" and IWU="Indiana Wesleyan University" and FYI="for your information"). Yeah, I've decided to make the trip to the big, windy city...Marion, Indiana. (I'm also in a really weird mood right now if you can't tell.) Anyway, I'm hoping that FNL will deliever much more than Cheap Thrills has recently. I'm looking forward to seeing something I haven't seen before as well as getting to see friends I haven't seen in a while. The other fun part of this weekend is that tomorrow, I'll be going to Encore, a great show here on campus, and some IWU friends will be coming for that. 6 of them, to be exact. Well, actually I believe I only know 2 of them. The other 4 are just their friends from school as far as I know. Anyway, this means that I had to spend $14.50 on tickets for all of us today, which was quite a bit of money for me to just letting slip from my wallet, but it definitely made the Encore people happy to see 7 tickets sold at one time.
I've said all this just to say that although I'm exhausted from pulling a virtual all-nighter last night (don't worry Mom, I took a nap, so I'm alright) and I'm roommmate-less for the weekend again, I think this will be a very fun weekend, a much-needed break from the normal.

UPDATE (2/12/05): I'm an idiot. Ok, tickets were $2.50 a piece. For some reason, I got 14.5 when I multiplied 2.5 times 7. That just doesn't work. Let me try again... How about $17.50?? I think that's a better number.

Encore is the BEST show on AU’s campus.

You know, I forgot to mention that the great Jon McLaughlin was performing tonite at IWU as a part of FNL and the after-party. I’ve definitely got a great deal of respect for his musicianship, and for him as a person. He even gave me a free t-shirt for sticking around and helping him get his stuff packed and loaded. Woot.
