peoria: state & madison

i'll make this short and sweet because i have to get to bed so i can pack up my entire life tomorrow before i move back to school.

last minute decision to go to peoria... [it's only three hours, so why not?] i convinced nikki to meet me there, and alex later decided she wanted to go too, so we had ourselves a cute little gaggle of girls. i left home around three thirty, and got there a little before seven. SAM CAME ALONG AND SURPRISED ME! nikki, sam and i got buffalo wild wings for dinner and came back in time to catch one of the openers. cute little venue: coffee shop + music venue = my life in a single building. we then enjoyed a fantastic state & madison set. i'm really loving the new songs, and holy SHIT does peoria know how to rock out. probably one of the most excited crowds i'd seen for them besides in chicago. and it's always cool to see people in other cities singing along, that's when you know something is working.

hung out afterwards for a while, did some excellent band member impersonations, laughed a lot, said my final goodbyes, and was on the way home by a little before midnight. it was a great last show before i move back to school, with some absolutely amazing people. i don't think i can begin to describe how much i love my friends. and how much all four of those guys mean to me without getting mushy.

thursday: pack up my whole life, see kiera, mow and hang out with my grandma
friday: MOVE IN at nine am, unpack, see the noise fm at 2 at hot topic and 6 at the artisan

life is about to change drastically on me and i'm not sure if i'm quite prepared. on one hand i'm really excited but on the other, kind of sad.
