In other news of self-promotion, one of my besties was in NYC last weekend and she sent me the most amazing pictures from Urban Outfitters. I mean, I knew they were selling Wish You Were Here online but I had NO idea it was hitting store shelves. Take that, Chuck Klosterman!

Thankfully, my friend Jessica was able to spot the spine. Here she is, maxing and relaxing while showing off that Stanford education. Isn’t she a beaut? Sorry, fellas… She’s taken!!

All in all, it’s been a pretty hectic week. I just got back from Cleveland last night, where I drowned myself in bridal awesomeness (for my bestie Lesley) and parental hangs. The trip was way too short, but it was super-nice to get a break from the Los Angeles June gloom. As soon as I landed, I hoofed it back to my apartment just in time to book it to see A Camp at the Troubador. It was amaaaaaaaaazing!! I have, like, the biggest girl crush on Nina Persson and just being in her presence made me feel like a “Lovefool.” (Yeah, I totally went there.)

The band just put out their second album, Colonia, not too long ago and it’s super-fantastic awesome. Here’s one of my fave songs, “Stronger Than Jesus.” Take a listen and let me know what you think! (Warning: Nina Persson is so pretty, it might be hard to look at her for more 30 seconds at a time. If this is the case, feel free to close your eyes and zone out.)
