One last thing

I'm getting very nostalgic at the moment. (what else is new?)

I'm going to reflect one more time about this year.
good things happened.
bad things happened.

I attended Coachella for the first time (finally, after waiting forever), and that was an incredible weekend, musically. The location at that time of year is perfect for such a festival. I miss you all the time, Coachella. See you in 2009.

I attended Beirut at the Wiltern. It was wonderful. Being in the front row didn't hurt, either.

Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco. I saw Radiohead, Beck, The Black Keys, among others. Awesome.

Chicago. I love you. Mostly because you remind me of Sufjan Stevens, but I still love you nonetheless. Oh, and maybe because I want to attend school there. The midwest in general is an interesting place that I'd like to see more of. I miss you too, Indiana.

I met some interesting people this year. I am thankful. Friendships were strengthened, and new friendships began. Some people decided to move away, but distance is not something new in my life, so I deal with that as best as I can I guess.

Thanks 2008. It's in the books. I like a lot of you, 2008, but I dislike some of you, too.

Until next year,

Gabby.
