so i finally was able to convince my parents to let me go to chicago. but its with them. and only them.(noone can really go up with me and if they could theyd have to share a hotel room w/ me and my parents, which would be very weird,)and it is considered my birthday present(which is september 3 by the way.) and now i dont know.it seems to complicated to me.i wish my sister could come cause shed go to the show with me, but shes moving this weekend. in addition to driving me up there my parents would have to drop me off and pick me up from the concert.this sounds stressful.so does making hotel arrangements.. damn.. i really wanted to hear dcfc sing "title and registration", admire ben gibbard from the audience, hear modest mouse play "barnacles" and last but not least, buy a t-shirt. oh well..i should be reading right now.. im going to the state fair today. i just threw up in the starbucks parking lot..i dont think im going to practice. ♥
