the rip tide





sunday i was lucky enough to see beirut at the independent in san francisco! they played a show at the fox theatre the day before. that theatre seats 2,800 people. the independent holds 500. it sold out immediately and i got a ticket. so did my friend anita. we attempted to get to the bay area early enough to go to the alameda flea market. but we both kind of suck at being on time, and we got there right when everyone was leaving. but we still walked around, and ate donuts. then we got DELICIOUS sandwiches at ike's place in the castro. my first time there. mmm so good. i got the 'sometimes i'm a vegetarian' and it was amazing. so amazing, i even spilled some pesto on my dress. of course.

beirut was also amazing! we were front row center! i took some phone photos that i'll compile into a phone post in a week or so. but seriously. so amazing. i've seen them before, including the last time they played a venue this small and at a festival. but this was incredible.

  5. Sounds like an awesome day! I wish I could live in the bay area. Maybe eventually!

    Your lace dress is beautiful, and I like how you added fall colors to this outfit...how it's sort of a fall version of red, white and blue. So cute!

  9. You are seriously too cute. I love this outfit. Those maroon knee highs are so great! Well, the whole thing is great. I'm rambling now. But anyway, this outfit is wonderful.
    Also, I want to go back to San Francisco so we can hang out and do cool things and see good bands together. Please?
