We caught the train to Harrisburg last night and made it back for Owen, Charlie, and Andrew opening for Gretel at B-Sides. I’d forgotten how much I miss B-Sides. For the uninformed, every Wednesday at 10:00 there’s a free show in the Student Union. Last semester’s lineup was particularly fantastic- Rosie Thomas, Horse in the Sea, Earl Greyhound, Unwed Sailor, This Will Destroy You, Clint & Amy, Jennifer O’Connor, Illinois. Last night’s show was fantastic. One girl in Gretl moved around all night between different , unexpected instruments- a five gallon bucket, the singing saw, a typewriter. Yes, a typewriter. It was pretty great.
I sat there in the Union, and everywhere I looked were people I love. I allowed myself to admit that I’ve missed Grantham, missed these people a great deal. Somewhere between another late-night run to Baker’s and pillow talk with one of my future roommates, I knew that this is the place where I most belong. Yes, there’s not as much to do as there is in Philadelphia and the homogeneity can be stifling, but I’ve made a family here out of all these people I love. Right now I need a family I can count on.
Scott, Matt Dean and I are going to Gettysburg College to see Ron Paul tomorrow. Hillary and Barack will be here on Sunday. I’m going to try to convince everyone to go to Baker’s every night Devin and I are here, because I love to pull those tables together and eat beige food with these wonderful people.
