Dear My Disco,

I had a very enjoyable afternoon and evening today.

After completing my final exam, I got rid of my books and came into a small amount of money as a result. I wandered a bit, trying to locate a driving cap which I have decided will be my hat of choice. Not being able to locate suitable headgear, I journeyed to North Campus and had lunch at the Chinese place one last time before going home. Then I wandered a bit more, trying to find a Spider-Man related birthday present for my little brother Charlie. No success with that unfortunately. Late in the afternoon my pretty lady friend(see earlier post; go find it yourself, I'm lazy) and I got together to finally watch Memento.

This where things started getting fun.

We elected to wander about Ann Arbor instead, having decided that it would be a damn shame to waste such a gorgeous afternoon indoors. We met up with one of her friends after our romp about town and then went to an improv jam and dance session. I just watched, but it was still one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The music was great too, and I think that I will sharpen my improv abilities with my trumpet this summer in hopes of possibly contributing in the fall. After that we went to a local bar and music venue, The Blind Pig, for an EP release party of a local band, My Dear Disco. It was some really cool music. Even my curious lack of rhythm was not hampered by the sheer greatness of the music. We did make it to the party eventually after the show, just in time for it to end.

I had more fun than I thought possible in this sometimes Godforsaken town. The one thing I regret more than classes are the missed opportunities.
