Hey, Megs,
It's spring here in Nashville, and it's beautiful. Rites of Spring is this weekend at good old Vanderbilt. The campus is abuzz, both figuratively and literally--I think I got a contact buzz from the stench of alcohol out there.
I went for my daily walk this afternoon and got a special treat--I walked around Alumni Lawn (still as great as ever) for a half hour and listened to Spoon's sound check. It was SO SWEET! I was seriously giddy out there. All the hipster kids were out, too, and they were even more giddy! One of the kids inside the fence (remember when I got on tv talking about the controversial fence?) was talking to his friends outside the fence, and he was ever so excited because he got to hold Spoon's drumsticks. His friends took his picture and everything; it was just about the cutest thing.
At one point, the sound check started to get a bit repetitive (you know, "You guys came in a little late on that one"), so I was about to change my path. Just then, out of nowhere, I heard the opening strains of "Rocks Off," and there was Spoon playing one of my all-time favorite Stones songs. It was just perfect. Best walk I've had in weeks.
***Holy shit. Guess who I just got an e-mail from. Sam ("Not Todd") Henderson. He's in town this weekend and wants me to give him a call. What a blast from the past this will be!
I hope all's well with you. I'm sure I'll be pining a bit this weekend, wishing we were all together hanging out on the Lawn. I miss you!
love, molly
