thank yu rhett miller, for not thinking you're too good for the old 97s. your solo work plays out better live than on the records, and the believers are great to see with you live...but as you said saturday, "the old 97s have a secret weapon...and it's philip peeples." the believers don't have murry or ken either. that was one mighty good time saturday, and thank yu for doing a second encore as well. seriously, though, i suppose it's too annoying to play all the old favorites, but victoria lee? come on, in the past 14 months, i've seen you 4 times solo or with the believers plus this most recent old 97s show...and you can't play victoria lee one time?! are you sick of it, because you're allowed to be...i just wondered.
thank yu to my office crush for smiling back at me in an elevator, even if you got on your phone immediately after getting out of the elevator. i don't even know how i brought myself to smile at you in the first place. just know that i'm basically enough of a fool that i won't ever speak to you for real.
thank yu to the couple on the subway platform who sang happy birthday on the spur of the moment when they overheard my roommate saying it was my birthday.
thank yu to my vegetarian friends for respecting my effort to try eating vegan for a week.
thank yu to the fried who explained to me that someone with a phd in goverment has a realistic chance of finding gainful employment as a full-time professor.
thank yu to any company whose application does not require you to re-enter all previous employers. resumes summarize relevant job experience.

seth,
are you now an old 97's super fan? four times in one year and i've only seen rhett once in the last year. the world, it is upside down.

3 times in '06; twice now in '07. the goal is 4x since that would be a year-over-year improvement...but yeah, i don't know if i'm a super fan, but i keep going. mind you, this is almost always a seth solo event; i don't worry about convincing anyone else to go, so it's easy to make it happen.
