the blessed breeze

man. wilco was incredible. two encores. both with like 5 or 6 songs each. the concert was held in a minor league hockey arena. my feet were completely numb by the end of the show. but what a show. i think sarah enjoyed it too and enjoyed hanging out with her. i kind of felt like a cooler, older brother, which i've never been. my sister was older than me. it was nice hanging out and getting to know her. after the show, we hung out with rock stars legs against arms and drank their beer and hung out. friday was kind of a busted day, but it quickly turned into an awesome day. and it was cold. and it was wet. but it was fun nonetheless.
