I hate being sick. I think drinking all that green tea kept me healthier for longer, but now I'm the not-so-proud holder of a cold, so I'm taking the day off today. Seriously, I didn't even wake up until 2 this afternoon.

We went shopping yesterday - I found 2 new pairs of pants, one of which is really awesome...like, all gothic and stuff, but their white. Fun stuff.

I had something really cool happen yesterday evening, too. I was all chilling online and Jason from SRC just randomly IM's me. I had just joined the message board, so he must have seen me online. I thought that was pretty awesome. He gave me the name and contact info for their tour manager / lighting designer. Hot stuff. People like him, Amir, Lou, and Fluffy just rock my world. It's so cool to have artists really care about the fans.

In that vein, I'm doing a feature on how cool artists can be to their fans...if you have a cool story about how an artist treated you well, email me and the best ones will be featured in an article posted on D1. Rock on.

Oh, and if you haven't seen, Fluffy's first live show has been announced. I so wish I could go. Anyone wanna fly me out to Vancouver?
