About
"I enjoy going out and not talking to strangers. It's OK if I'm drunk, but if I'm not, it's just embarrassing." Bret McKenzie (of Flight of the Conchords)
I work in Lenexa, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. But I live in Lawrence, Kansas, about 30 miles away.
"Why?", do you ask. To be closer to friends. To be closer to the music. 90% of the bands I want to see in concert stop in Lawrence instead of Kansas City.
If you couldn't tell, music is a big deal to me. He better hurry up and release something again soon because The Decemberists and Page France have passed him on my last.fm page.
I've been living in Lawrence for a little over a year, and I'm loving it. I live close to downtown and just moved into a quaint little apartment.
