International Museums Day

As Katy and I wandered down Newbury Street aimlessly, we happened upon a local band, called Piebald, who was having a CD release performance in a local music store (Newbury Records). Their sound was captivating Emo. Later, when we came back from the pizzeria, we saw they have set up a table for signing and meeting the band. I saw Piebald in person, and suddenly the feeling of celebrity mania grappled me, and I found myself shelling out 7 dollars for their new CD - All Ears, All Eyes, All the Time, and having them sign it. Travis, Aaron, Andrew and Lucian signed the CD insert and a poster, and I was so awed that rock stars still take time to appease fans like myself (albeit I knew nothing about their songs except for the 1 minute of theirs I heard earlier). Just being in the presence of rock stars makes me shiver like a young'un. I said to them, "I love your sound, your playing is incendiary". Of course, this was a paraphrase from Almost Famous. I also saw one of the band members drawing a pirate from the Newbury Comics logo, and was tempted to tell him a pirate joke.
I brought cookies and milk to work. Over pizza, I cajoled Katy to telling me more about the coolest girl in the world, then we went to get ice-cream. All in all, I think I had a pretty good birthday. This year is off to a good start.
