The Modern Age

As much as I love Panic! at the Disco, I have to say, the fact that Carson Daly is hosting makes me NOT want to watch NBC’s NYE Times Square show. When did he turn 75 years old? Yeeeesh. I miss Dick Clarke already.

Although I look forward to wearing fall clothing, I’ll kinda miss summer. The outdoor events, the BBQ, the rooftop drinking, open toed shoes, sundresses, etc.
How do you plan on whooping up your last days of summer? By singing the Ataris [...]

I went to Warped Tour this weekend on Long Island. I’m very tired. I’ve been working on getting all my photos ready, but haven’t had a chance to write about how much fun I had yet. Stay tuned…I’ll post the full write-up on So More Scene.
