Out of all the drugs in California Youâre the one that fucks my head up most And lately Iâve been pleading with myself to leave it But I crawl back, begging you for more
And I donât wanna want you But I do And whatâs another let down For a few
Moments in the light Moments in the light Feeling so alive I donât even gotta try, try Moments in the light Moments in the light Like Jordan in his prime You canât touch this superfly, fly Coming off the high
All the drugs in California Youâre the one that fucks my head up most

@karatecaulfield I hope you donât mind if I start tagging you in my YasMoon posts XD
SO I was going through some of my old moodboards and just...found this YasMoon one I forgot to post??? Whoops ^^;
Inspired to make this because I was rewatching some parts of Season 1 and goddamn did I forget how ridiculously fruity these two are, like??? WHY is no one talking about The Concert Sceneâ˘ď¸???
Like thereâs a scene at the beginning of 1x05 where Sam shows Amanda a video Yasmine and Moon posted from the concert they went to and I. I am being so deadass right now. These gal pals are practically grinding on each other. Like theyâre rubbing all up against each other and I legit had to rewatch it several times like âDid I see that right??? Am I imagining things???â
Itâs so OBSCENELY gay like why you feelin the urge to rub yoself all over another woman in this Chiliâs tonight???
ANYWAYS I am very certain this concert led to some serious Gay Panic (probably especially without Sam being there to third wheel lmfao), if the girls werenât feeling that already. I for one could not openly rub chests with another girl without it like. Awakening something in me??? Maybe Iâm just too much of a hopeless lesbian but idk. I feel like, if it hadnât happened already, this concert was the moment when Moon had the epiphany she (canonically!!!) liked girls. Yas too, but then she repressed it into the deepest depths of her soul like âthatâs a problem for another day!!!â and then she just. Never actually addressed it and later was so frantic to hide it that she got an equally-gay beard boyfriend. Oop.
I wanted to capture the Gay Panic Concert Vibes and decided it was moodboard time <3 Very happy I managed to find very Yasmine and Moon-esque quotes written in their signature colors!!! And Moonâs is even in kind of a hippie-esque 60s font!!! Perfect!!!
Tangentially related, but itâs kind of SHOCKING the sheer amount of orange Moon wears. Like the Yasmine-and-pink associations are more subtle (itâs often nail polish or clothes that have pink IN them) but I swear to god like 90% of Moonâs outfits are orange-based. Like itâs fashionable af, donât get me wrong, but itâs very funny how these girlies are going around dressed like the lesbian flag and expecting us not to read anything into it kajahpibdusufv
Speaking of which!!! I tried to make this in the colors of the lesbian flag, but. I deadass forgot that the middle stripe was white and not yellow ^^; And then I liked the results too much to go back and change it lmao. One day I promise I will make these sapphics an ACTUAL lesbian flag moodboard I promise XD
In case it isnât obvious, the top pics and middle right are Yasmine-coded, and the bottom pics and middle left are Moon-coded. Actually very proud of how this came out! I think I did a pretty okay job of capturing their general Vibes lol. Love that the moodboard program auto-generated a border that goes perfectly with Yasmineâs cute jacket. They matchy matchy <3 Also love that Moonâs jacket is kinda peach-ish--the perfect blend of her and Yasâs theme colors <3
I think I should be a little more normal about color symbolism probably akajhdsiuofb
Pic credits available upon request! Expect much more YasMoon content to come <3

Hi! I love your writing, and completely understand if you don't feel like writing this. Could you do something where the reader loves Halloween and dresses up as a vampire as a joke to surprise the boys at the boardwalk or at a Halloween party in the cave. You can decide what to do with the story, I just thought that would be cute.
LOST BOYS x S/O HALLOWEEN COSTUME
DAVID
When you jumped out from behind a display at Maxâs video store, fully decked out in a Dracula-esque cape and plastic fangs, David thought it was the cutest thing in the entire world.
Not like heâd ever tell you that, though.
He only rolled his eyes, trying to hide the little pull of a smile on his lips by pinching the bridge of his nose and letting out a long-suffering sigh.
âThis is borderline offensive, kittenâ
Despite all his fussing he still stuck his arm out to you, pressing a kiss to your temple and letting you lead him around towards the various attractions and food stalls- all decorated for Halloween.
The whole night he was staring at you, expression turning exasperated anytime you made eye contact while he scrambled to cover up the adoration in his gaze.
When youâd finally dragged him up into the ferris wheel (âKitten I can fly. This is like going paragliding with a pigeonâ) he quieted down, opting to lean back into his seat and watch you watch the crowd below.
That stupid cape hung loose off your shoulders, the faux fangs long since abandoned after getting stuck in a candy apple. Your hair was a tangled mess from all the rides and the festival lights cast a halo around you.
God he was whipped.
Just as the little cart you were in came to a rocking halt at the top of the wheel he extended his hand to you, pulling you close and pressing an unusually tender kiss to your lips. His hands held either side of your face, foreheads together as he pulled back to look at you, gaze soft before a mischievous grin pulled at his lips.
âYou know, kitten. If you really wanted to be a vampire all âya had to do was askâ
PAUL
"Doll you should totally be a vamp for Halloweenâ
When Paul had suggested it and offered to buy steal a costume for you, you were all too happy to have someone equally willing to have fun on your favorite holiday.
And the fact that you were going as a vampire-Â with an actual vampire? So cool- the coolest. It was going to be a hilarious inside joke for just the two of you (and also the other vamps of course.. and also probably the Frog Brothers).
When Paul strolled up ten minutes before you needed to meet the other boys at the boardwalk with something that could only loosely be called clothing, let alone a costume, you were disappointed but not surprised.
The skimpy leather shorts, the straps along the chest and the despicably studded âcapeâ combined with a set of fake plastic fangs read less as âvampireâ and more âvampire-themed lingerieâ.
You stared, slack-jawed at the revealing outfit, not entirely sure if Paulâs insistence of âBabydoll youâre gonna look so good in this-â was actually encouraging you or not. Short on time and low on shame (after all, it was Halloween- most people are going to be either too wasted to notice or wearing even less than you) you quickly geared up.
Paul was all wolf-whistles and flirty pick-up line, his hand inching just a bit too high remain PG before youâd swat it away.
When you finally arrived at the boardwalk Paulâs mood quickly went downhill.
Like.... he knew people were going to look at you- after all you were totally smokinâ in that vampire getup. But... well he didnât expect so many people to actually have the balls to come up and flirt with you. Especially when he was right there.
The whole night he was snappy and frustrated, progressing from just wrapping his arm around your waist to practically hanging off of you while the two of you listened to the loud music from the Halloween concert.
Finally heâd had it when some dude in a shitty store-bought wolfman mask groped your ass.
Paul went full vamp, snarling and growling as he decked the guy in the face, picked you up like you weighed nothing, and climbed up and over the crowd- charging till the two of you were alone at the beach.
He was still growling and clung to you like a lifeline while you tried not to laugh, burrowing his still vamped-out face against your neck and mumbling bitterly.
You rolled your eyes and let yourself be held, running your hands through his hair and pressing chaste kisses to his cheek when he finally sat back- giving his face a little squeeze.
âYou wanna go home?â you offered gently, letting him run a hand down your back- feeling his calloused palm stop at the hem of those obscenely short shorts.
His gaze went from pouting to mischievous when he glanced up at you, all fangs and yellow eyes. You could see something formulating in his mind when he finally spoke up.
âHey babeâ
âYeah?â
âYou make a fang-tastic vampireâ
DWAYNE
Dwayne stared at you for about twenty seconds, expression impossible to read before he covers his face with his hands, the tiniest hint of redness creeping up on his cheeks behind his fingers.
You laughed as he stood there, having a genuine conniption because oh god this is so adorable, before finally threading your arm through his and dragging him off to wander around the boardwalk.
Your nights were usually a balance of silence and conversation, easily drifting between enjoying each otherâs company to chatting about whatever came to mind. Tonight, however, he was almost dead silent- following behind you while he held your hand, giving that tiny little smile that he only shared with you as you bounced from one carnival game to another.Â
The two of you wandered around the boardwalk, toting an absurd amount of stuffed toys from the games all the while still squeezing Dwayneâs hand as he followed behind you.
With the concertâs blaring music in the distant background he watched as you hung on the edge of the railing, cape falling around your shoulders as you peered down below at the slowly rising tide.
Gripped with emotion he wrapped his arms around your waist, squeezing you into his chest till you turned and he could press a tender kiss to your lips.
He picked you up, grabbing the back of your thighs to wrap around his hips and holding you as tightly as he could. With a step, Dwayne floated up to stand with impossibly skilled balance on the rickety arm rail. His laugh was low and rumbling where you were pressed against his chest.Â
You held on tighter to him as he fell forwards, the two of you dangling upside-down on the bottom of the boardwalk and the ends of your cape getting wet from the gently churning water below.
Despite your slight dizziness you laughed, pressing your face against his chest and holding on for dear life even though you knew heâd never drop you.
Hanging here, wrapped in his arms and feeling the occasional ocean spray on your cheeks was better than any ride.
MARKO
Marko was a whirlwind of energy on a normal day- but on Halloween? The coolest holiday of the year? Where he could wander around fully vamped out and not have a single person look at him weird?
He was unstoppable.
The two of you were dressed to the nines in âclassic vampireâ costumes, Markoâs bright leather jacket and boots exchanged for a truly dashing three-piece suit with a long sleek black cape and his wild mane of curls braided elegantly along his back.
Frankly? He looked hot as hell. And he seemed to share the opinion, the whole night he had an arm around your waist- baring fangs at anyone who got a little too close or stared a little too long. You two were the power couple of the boardwalk.
Brain addled with the adrenaline of walking around vamped-out and an obscene amount of sugary candy, Marko was practically bouncing off the walls.
He dragged you towards every ride and event, hollering at the top of his lungs and swinging you into the air if you were going to slow- laughing how youâd yelp and scream every time.
Things were going great until some guy in a Robin Hood outfit tried to get a little handsy with you- a palm inching up against the bare skin of your back as attempted to corral you away from the contortionist you were watching.
One second Mr. Robin Hood was on his feet attempting to pull you away from the crowd and the next thing you knew he was on the floor, jaw almost certainly broken with Marko standing over him, blonde hair coming loose from its braid to fan out around him dramatically.
The scary music, the sharp fangs, the long cape billowing in that Santa Carla breeze.... Marko looked like a vision of death as he snarled, eyes yellow and fist raising to give another hard blow to the manâs face.
While you wouldâve been content to watch your Gorgeous Boyfriend rip this guy a new one, the sound of police sirens getting closer told you it was time to get going.
âLetâs dash, babeâ Markoâs voice was a low breathy rumble. He grabbed you by the hand and charged back towards his bike, leaving the chaos behind as you laughed your asses off.
The two of you collapsed on the sands of the beach, laying side by side and laughing at the full moon- tears streaming down your cheeks as the height of the moment began to fade.
Your silly cape was scrunched beneath you and you could feel sand start to slip into your boots and under your shirt.
The moment was perfect.
A gloved hand slipped into yours and you felt Marko scoot closer, flipping onto his stomach to watch you through lidded eyes.
When you turned to look at him a red blush was patched across his face, his lips were open as he watched you, moving slow to lean in and kiss your cheek, hovering there a moment before he began peppering your face in soft kisses.
When he finally kissed you on the lips you swore there were fireworks going off behind your eyes. His lips were chapped and soft, the hand that ran delicately over your cheek was cool to the touch as he pressed himself impossibly closer to you.
He tasted like sugar.
When he pulled back he was still staring at you with that pure, unadulterated adoration that made your face go red and your heart do that silly little flip-flop.
Reveling in your embarrassment, he pressed another series of soft kisses down your chin, giving your collar bone a rough bite that made you gasp in surprise, your hand flying up to rest on his chest.
You could feel his pleased hum vibrate against your neck when he mumbled out a sultry
âTrick or treat...â

Part 2Â Part 4
Note: Weâre almost at 400 new friends!!!! I just want to say THANK YOU to each and every one who has taken time to read even just one of my stories. I truly from the bottom of my heart appreciate it. I love seeing the comments, messages, and reblogs from everyone who has taken the time to do so! It inspires me to put out even more for you guys, and I have so many ideas I want to share with you all! Hope you guys enjoy and donât forget to let me know what you think!
===============================
LAXâs airport was bigger than I could have ever imagined...
I rolled my suitcases along to where Rudy had told me they would be waiting, a duffel bag slung over my shoulder. Hey, I was staying for almost a month in California, I had necessities to bring. I heard my name being called, whipping my head in the direction it came from. I beamed when I saw everyone, making my way towards them.Â
Both Maddieâs made it to me first, taking me into a group hug. They squealed and jumped around, saying how excited they were to see me. Chase ruffled my hair, taking me into a side hug. I spotted Rudy last, a sly smirk on his face. He was more handsome than I remembered, despite seeing his face almost everyday. It was different now that I saw him standing before me, the slight beard he was growing made him look older. He pulled me into a bear hug, inhaling my scent. I did the same, loving the feeling of his arms around me.Â
âI missed you guys so much.â I admitted, pulling away from Rudy.
âWe canât wait to show you around!â Maddie C exclaimed.
Rudy took my duffel bag while Chase got one of my suitcases, leading the way to the car. He grunted when I handed him my bag, slinging it over his shoulder.Â
âJesus woman, whatâs in here?â Rudy asked, using both hands to haul my bag.
âMakeup, shoes, ya know...girl stuff.â I shrugged, turning to wink at him over my shoulder.Â
âThereâs gotta be some cement blocks in here or something.â he grumbled, slinging into the back of the car.Â
âCareful! Thereâs some expensive shit in there!â I gasped, earning an eye roll from the blonde.Â
The girls and Chase piled into the back, leaving me to sit up front with Rudy driving. I glared at the three devils in the back, knowing what they were up to. Once we got out of the airport, we jammed out to some 80â˛s rock. Although, Chase, Rudy, and I were the only ones that knew any of the songs.Â
I was an old soul, I loved old music. I listened mostly to anything from the 80â˛s to the early 2000â˛s, from pop to rock n roll. My mom always liked to tell me that I was born in the wrong era, and I guarantee sheâs right. I think thatâs also why Rudy and I got along so well, both of us having the taste for old music. The Maddieâs sat back and enjoyed our concert, videoing us at points when Rudy would go crazy.Â
I loved that I could be myself around them, not feeling the need to hide. Scream singing in the car while dancing with my best friends, this is what I needed after a stressful 4 months. I breathed in the Los Angeles air, feeling the sun beating down on my arm that hung out the window. I watched as the palm trees passed, the salty air feeling inviting.Â
====================================
Once we arrived at Chaseâs house, everyone pitched in to lug my shit up the stairs. It was a real struggle since Chase had to pick a house with millions of steep steps. We were all huffing and puffing by the time we made it to my room Iâd be living in for the next month, all of us crashing to the bed. Rudy crashed on top of me, a giggle erupting from my lips.Â
âYouâre comfy,â he sighed, squeezing his arms around me.
It was odd feeling small in his arms despite being bigger than most girls, he was a lot more buff than I remember him being. We didnât move for a while, just shifting so that Rudy was laying with his head on my stomach so he wouldnât be crushing me. I spotted Maddie C pulling her phone out.
âDonât you dare Madelyn,â I chuckled, knowing she was doing it anyways.
âYou guys look pretty comfy.â she giggled, moving her finger to zoom.
âThat makes one of us,â I commented, playing along for wherever she was about to post. Rudy looked at me offended, his lips pouting out.Â
Hysterical laughter came from all of us except Rudy who was still pouting, getting up to lay beside of me instead. I poked his lip, my stomach hurting from laughing so hard. He shoved my hand away, turning his back to me.Â
âOh come on Ru, it was for the video.â I scoffed, tugging his huge bicep.
âIâm mad at you.â he huffed, but I could see the slight smirk on his face.Â
âWho decided to have a sleepover and not invite me?â a girl asked, walking in the room.Â
From Instagram I could tell this was Elaine, her beauty even more striking in person. She made me feel intimidated, her eyes lingered on where Rudy and I sat. I could see the jealousy in her eyes, making me scoot away from him.Â
âHey El, this is y/n. Y/n, this is Elaine.â Maddie C introduced, gesturing to both of us.Â
âSo this is the famous y/n...â she said, raising her brows. I felt her gaze burning over me, making me even more self conscious.Â
âThatâs me, um Iâve heard all about your amazing photography.â I laughed nervously.Â
âYeah, Rudy and I just had a shoot actually.â she revealed.
Maddie B seemed to be the only one to notice the tension in the room, Rudy hadnât even looked up from his phone yet. I looked at her and she arched her brow at me, clearly not used to Elaine being so passive aggressive.
âAre we going to eat guys? Iâm starving.â Chase groaned, throwing his head back dramatically.Â
âI havenât ate at all today, whatâs good around here?â I asked excitedly.
âWhy havenât you ate today?â Rudy inquired, his eyes full of worry.
âIâve been on a plane for hours, I didnât exactly want airport food.â I informed, rolling my eyes.Â
âYou shouldnât do that babe, how are you not sick?â he questioned. Everyoneâs eyes widened when he said âbabeâ, my cheeks flushed.Â
âStop lecturing me Ru,â I huffed.
==================================
âIâve never seen her act like that before...â Maddie B confessed. We were sat in my room as everyone else departed to get ready for dinner.Â
âI thought you said she had a thing for Drew?â I said confusedly.Â
âThe past few times we have all hung out together, they seemed more than friendly.â Maddie B declared, shrugging her shoulders.
âNo matter, itâs not like thereâs any competition.â I sighed, finishing up my makeup.
âYou right because that boy is GONE for you!â she cheered.
âNo Mads, because she is the Instagram photographer and Iâm the DUFF of our friend group.â I rolled my eyes.
âExcuse you, but if anyone is the DUFF itâs Chase. Look at his hair y/n.â she scoffed. A knock on the door startled the both of us, Rudy poked his head in.
âSorry to interrupt ladies, but we are all starving to death.â he stated, his eyes looking between us.Â
===================================
Dinner was super awkward, starting with when we went to sit down. I stayed behind to let everyone else pick their seats first, leaving Elaine to rush to sit beside Rudy. He quirked a brow at her, obviously confused why she wanted to sit by him so bad. Rudy patted the spot across from him, my cheeks blushing again as I sat down.Â
The conversations were hit and miss...anytime one of us tried to tell a story about the time we spent together, Elaine would interject about something her and Rudy did. She would subtly eye me, engaging my reaction. I felt so uncomfortable, that was until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Drew, my brother from another mother.Â
âLong time no see buddy!â he beamed. I rose up from my spot to hug him, ruffling his hair.
âI figured it was time to see what LA is all about, and as Iâve been told, my presence was long missed.â I teased, everyone laughed except Elaine.Â
Drew said hello to everyone, leaning to kiss Elaineâs cheek. I looked at Maddie B who was beside me, furrowing my brows in confusion. She shrugged her shoulders, waving as Austin joined our table. He leaned down to hug me, patting my head as he passed to take his seat. Rudy reached across the table to tap my hand, he smiled when I turned my attention to him.Â
âWhat are you getting? Do you want to share an appetizer with me?â he questioned.
âIâm really thinking of just getting chicken fingers, they look yummy.â I grinned. He gave me a âreallyâ look.
âGet whatever you want, you arenât paying anyways.â he smirked, knowing this would rile me up.
âRudy, no.â I groaned.
âNo arguing, pick something that you really want babe.â he demanded.
âWait are they dating?â I heard Drew whisper to Maddie C and Chase, not doing a very good job of not wanting me to hear.
âNo, I wish they would though.â Maddie C replied.
The night got better, laughter filling the restaurant. It felt so good to be with my people again, my heart was full of joy. Rudy and Drew spent half our time shooting paper spit balls at each other, one even accidentally hitting Austin square in the face.Â
âWhoâs up for clubbing tonight?!â Drew asked, earning cheers from a few of us.
âI donât know if Iâll make it, Iâm seriously jet lagged.â I yawned.
âCome on y/n, once you get a few shots in youâll be good to go!â he insisted.
âIâll take you back to the house if you really donât want to go.â Rudy offered.
 âPlease y/n!â Maddie C begged, Maddie B joining in as well.
I looked at Rudy who just smiled at me, waiting for my response. I made a split second decision without really thinking about it.Â
âOk, Iâll go.â I sighed.
What am I getting myself into?

A RANT ABOUT RENT LIVE AND HOW GOOD IT WAS
Okay so I need to stand on a soap box real quick to make a point. Please read the whole thing. I feel like Rent Live not only needs to be reviewed but is the perfect example for what I am about to say. If you have a problem with this, thank u next.
Let me ask you a question. How many people do you know named or are probably named Sarah? How about Taylor? Maybe Alex? Okay, now that you have a number in your head think about this: are they all exactly the same? Same hair color? Eye color? Body type? Do they all play soccer? Do they all love the same kind of music? Are they all the same race? Same sexual orientation? Is your answer no? It should be. They are all different yet special in their way.
Now let's look at Rent. We have Rent, the Broadway musical (which is actually a reincarnation La Boheme, an opera with a lot of other versions as well!!! It all comes full circle) ; Rent, the movie; and Rent Live. All share a name but none of them are the same. They are all special in their own way.
Rent, the Broadway musical, is one of if not the most revolutionary musical to hit the Great White Way. Without it, Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen and The Prom and The Band's Visit and Fun Home probably wouldn't exist. It inspired artists to cross the borderlines and expressed the true meaning if love and being a part of a community, a family. It inspired composers like Lin Manuel-Miranda do even make musicals. It swept the Tonys, it won the Pulitzer prize, it ran for a very long time. It was so important that they filmed a pro shot of the final performance. However, that proshot was not a one take deal. They pre filmed some stuff to get those epic close ups, like the beginning of Out Tonight. Again, it was crucial to the world of theatre.
Next we have Rent, the movie. It was filmed as an independent film, kinda like how The Last Five Years was. They got most of the original cast to reprise their roles. Tracie Thoms and Rosario Dawson swept in to save the day. They are honestly the best Joanne and Mimi that I've seen. Tracie has played Joanne literally everywhere: in the movie, on Broadway, and at the Hollywood Bowl. And it was also a good thing for Rosario to put on her resume. The actual movie itself cut and rearranged the order of songs from the musical and doesn't focus much on being in the 90s but the present day. There's nothing wrong with that, but the creative team wanted this Rent to be it's individual being. People that see the movie might have only seem the movie and not the Broadway musical. When they see it's mostly the same cast, they got excited and were looking forward to seeing the other Rent. It's not the same Rent, but it's called Rent and is similar to that other Rent, but it's not that Rent. It's like Rent the II.
And as of yesterday we have Rent III, Rent Live. Now I get it. Technically this wasn't live as in broadcast live and everything you saw was happening in real time and that sucks but also thank God they filmed that final dress or it probably wouldn't have happened at all or at least not in the way they planned. The whole concert version they released clips of would have been what we saw for those 3 hours instead of the full out production that we deserved to see. People would have stopped watching right away if they only got to see poor Brennin in a wheelchair and the cast just sitting there in the same spot watching with the live audience they have in front of them. But ya know what? It was still live. They did'nt lip sync or animate themselves to be CGI dancers. They sang live, they moved live, they had a live audience. That's why it's called LIVE THEATRE. It is happening in front of a group of people. This was also the first live musical that had an issue that prevented them from putting on the production as is. Grease Live had some weather and audio issues but guess what? They added pre filmed video and audio to fix that!!!! Tbh, I would not be surprised if they stop broadcasting it live and make it live meaning LIVE theatre in front of a LIVE audience that you prerecorded and show the world on whatever night.
The cast was unlike the other two in the sense that it was part Broadway performers, part music artists, part actors and dancers that can sing, and one phenomenal drag queen. If you want my opinion, Valentina is tied with Wilson Jermaine-Heredia as the best Angel. For someone who has never done anything like this, she did a hell of a job and was literally perfect in the role. Vanessa Hudgens, again in my opinion is probably the best Maureen. Her Over the Moon soars over any other one I have seen from the costume to her comedic timing to her commitment to the whole damn thing. She killed it. We also got see Jordan Fisher live his lifelong dream of being the first POC Mark and he did the role justice. The way they wrote Mark's monologues and made him feel as isolated from his group as friends as we've seen him was BRILLIANT. Especially at the top of Act 2 where they incorporated Seasons of Love into the plot, something that was not done in the other Rents which was literally genius. It was where I shed my first tear. Then we have Brandon Victor Dixon who did the best I'll Cover You Reprise EVER. I thought Michael McElroy was the best before last night. I was a wreck when Brandon did it. He is definitely one of the knots that binds these things together. And then we have Tinashe, Mario, and Kiersey Clemons. These three did their roles justice as well. I think Tinashe was up to par with Rosario's Mimi but her Mimi was definitely the most believable because she played it so young, she is supposed to be 19 but also a little coy and super sexy, which she did. Mario's vocals popped off and he definitely showed how much of a jerk Benny is. And Kiersey had a rocky start in my opinion but still played a great Joanne that had the perfect amount of spunk, sass, poise, and intelligence. Oh and don't get me started on Keala Settle. That woman took me to theatre church to bless the lord of blessing us with her talent. They rewrote Paul to be a woman named Cy which to me felt so raw.
And now the censorship thing. Idk what everyone else saw but I saw the same risque and edgy components of Rent that the Rent I and Rent II. The lyric changes were obvious ONLY TO THOSE THAT KNOW OF THE OTHER RENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE. And the changes they did make were seamless. On these main broadcasting networks, you cannot say shit, fuck, dildos, expose bare asses, be overtly sexual, etc. etc. unless that creative team anticipates a lofty fee and a potential lawsuit. They were only able to cross a certain amount of lines before it got out of control. The final line was clearly mucho masturbation. They had things taken away from them and saw it as the perfect opportunity to really make this Rent the 2019 Rent that is different from the other 2 but doesn't try to be the most superior of the three we know of.
Do you see what I mean though? All of these things are called Rent but none of them are the same or trying to replace the other creations. Sarah A isn't trying be better than Sarah B who isn't trying to beat Sara, the one without an H at the end of her name and the same applies to any new adaptation of a book or movie or musical. Every time this happens, that same story is trying to be expressed to an audience that needs to hear it. This messed up world we live in now needs to see a place where people are loved and accepted and are a part of a tight knit community. Rent does exactly that.
So the next time you see that ______ Live is happening or _______ the Musical is happening or a certain musical is getting a film adaptation, don't compare the two as one entity. Call it _____ II or the Sara without an H at the end.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[181117] B.A.P Forever Tour in Philadelphia - Highlight of my Life
This was really one of the best concerts Iâve ever gone to. Despite being skeptical of JSJ from the beginning, I was still willing to risk it and buy the tickets. I was debating for a while to drop $400 or not for m&g but when you think about it, it was only $30 per photo with each of the boys (+ a hat, hoodie, and whistle) so thatâs HELLA worth it. So I dropped nearly $600 for this concert but for real it was SO worth it. I was even willing to go down by bus all by myself and possibly wandering the streets of philly late at night for it but luckily was able to catch a ride!Â
These two BABYz gave out numbers from the very beginning like they marked down if you were plat or baby package and in the end JSJ and fans actually honored them! It was really great cuz we were able to leave the line to go to the bathroom or get food! BABYz around me were so nice and friendly too ;u; When it was time to go in to soundcheck and for the concert, we all actually got in order! It was REALLY nice like wow thank you philly babyz!! We were let in a little late for soundcheck cuz apparently bap was doing some kind of interview?? As for soundcheck, it was sooOOOoooOOO good!!! They kinda mixed up plat and baby but oh well whatever I still got like 3rd row so *^* WOOHOO! The stage was up really high and the venue was quite small, but philly crowdâs passion was explosive and powerful!! At the beginning of soundcheck Zelo kept like peeking out from the backstage door *^* they were ODing the fog machine so you could only see silhouettes at the door sometimes OTL. Daehyun was the first to come out! He came in this big puffer jacket and had earphones and and was smiling so cutely!! That wonderful wonderful kitty smile!! OH MY HEART PLEASE HAVE MERCY!! And then the others came out! <3 Zelo was wearing like PJ pants lmao the same one he wore in that IG pic of him in the truck, jongup was wearing leather (i think.....), himchan wore the tour hoodie, and youngjae wore a long coat. BUT YEAH the first song they did was TMJ and the crowd was hella LIT!!! Like everyone was singing their lungs out and jumping and being really really excited! We all started jamming out hardcore at the very first note of TMJ and I just knew it was about to be epic. BAP was sooo happy!! They really enjoyed it as well! And then they did DWIF and omfg daehyun was soooo cute cuz we were so loud during the OH!! part that he was like :O!!!!! and gave us two thumbs up!! The others were really happy too!! And then Zelo was controlling the crowd with his hands LOL like he was making us go side to side like a wave and then jongup was doing this weird dance too lmaooo we hyped up each other so much! It was soo much fun ;A; too bad we couldnât record but JSJ got a ( video )~!! Like just listen to BABYz singing along at the beginning!! ( dh shocked at 0:41, thumbs up at 0:51)
We had to go back outside again after the concert and thatâs when the line got a little messy since now there was also GA peeps and the sidewalk is only so big to fit like 3 different lines. But it worked out in the end and we got in order!! AND YA GIRL GOT FCKN 2ND ROW HEEEEEEEEELLLL YEAHH!! I had a GREAT view!! There was actually quite a lot of space and like NO pushing!! (except this one bishhhh but whatever thatâs another story -.- iâll delete her from my memory) But wow pit was fCKN great like wow the fanchants!! The whistles!! NO PUSHING!! LIKE WHAT WOOOW I LOVE YOU (this was an all standing venue btw). When we were waiting for the concert to start, they played a bunch of their songs and everyone was scream-singing the lyrics (well more like trying to LOL we canât korean) We had our own bap concert with an empty stage lmaoooÂ
AND AHHHH BAP WAS SOOOO GOOD AT FANSERVICE!!! Himchan noticed me like several times i fucking cRy!! He looked and waved at mee TWICE and like gestured to focus on zelo for recording and taking pics when it was his part AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Like last year he saw me struggling in pit (cuz that was HELL) and looked worried I CRY and he smiled at me too huuuhuuu himchan youre a fckn angel I LOVE YOU!!! I made a half heart at daehyun and hE FCKN COMPLETED IT I WAS ABOUT TO FCKN DIE RIGHT THEN AND THERE LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!! JOngup threw so many hearts and kisses at the crowd and youngjae blew so many kisses!! They were waving as much as possible to fans and daehyun, bless his heart, kept saying thank you!!thank you!! at any chance he could get!
During Q&A, bap spent the longest time arguing about harry potter houses pmsl and then yj was just like idk i never watched it (shame on you bro) and then himchan was like EXPECTRO PATRONUM!! (nerrRRRddddd). Jongup said he was fckn Dobby like bruH thats not even a house!!! YJ was like forget this!! and said, âPASS!!â Himchan said that he was Slytherin and then jongup said that Himchan would be fkcn Snape and did this dramatic coat sweeping straightening up his back thing LOL so himchan said Jongup would be a muggle pmsl Zelo did like a broom riding imitation??? irdk.... Next question was what was your favorite song that youâve ever made. Jongup answered Photo and sang a little of it (so then where is the studio version biiSHHHhh) but lol BABYz were like SEXY CLAP!!!!!! Youngjae pulled out a question, looked at it and was like NOPE! and put it back pmsl! The next question was what tricks can Mochii do and then youngjae was frckn like body slamming zelo and jongup lmaooo. Zelo was sooooo cute he was telling the story of how Mochii bit in all in English!! He said how he was eating and was struggling to explain that Mochii was under the table so BABYz were helping him! He said that he dropped cheese and then Mochii went to eat it but Zelo tried to stop him. Mochii bit and and then Zelo was like âooh! bloood! my dog is ...wildlifeâ but the way he said blood was soo cute like the oo in moon instead of âbludâ This sweet precious boy!! His English was so good!!!! The next question was to sing happy birthday to a BABY named Jenny (wow you LUCKY girl im sooo jelly omfg). So Zelo sings her hbd really dramatically lmao and they give her their sweaty towel and Zelo gave her a water bottle too!! Theyâre so sweet!!!!!!!Â
During their other talk segment, Youngjae was like since our tour in america, philly has been the most passionate! So we all SCREAMED and cheered like crazy! Daehyun was like hold up!! AGAIN! and went to grab a phone. He made us all scream and cheer again so he could record it. The boys kept gesturing to scream louder and more and were totally enjoying the cheers! I hope we conveyed our love for them well enough!! Also Daehyun release that footage soon pls!!! He told us we did a good job screaming lmaoo! Youngjae kept making sounds for us to repeat lmao like ooOOoooo (idk how to describe it LOL) and then was like âmaestro!â when trying to silence us with his fingers like a conductor LOL but we kept screaming things LOL someone was like âthis is my first kpop concert!!â so youngjae was like âsounds good!â and gave a thumbs up. Jongup also did the conductor thing hahahah Daehyun promised to come back again next year and I REALLY REALLY hope that they do!!!!Â
The solos were beyond amazing. Like rewatching youngjae and daehyunâs solos made me tear up like how do such beautiful voices exist in this world? Did I really hear those ethereal voices in real life? It was sooo mesmerizing and breathtaking! Youngjaeâs gorgeous baritone voice singing that smooth ballad huuuhuuu my heEArt!!! Daehyunâs heartwrenchingly beautiful voice, song, and lyrics wow let me just lie down and drown in my tears rn bYE! DaeUpâs duet was so cool, Jongupâs TML was perfect as usual, Zeloâs solo was sinful oh my those hip and that peach *blushes* it was suuuper fun and Zelo enjoyed it a LOT too!!! He lifted up his shirt!!Â
THEN IT WAS M&G TIME!!! They set up the background right in front of the stage. We lined up to go in and bap was standing like: jongup, youngjae, daehyun, himchan, zelo! It was plat individual photos first, then baby group + hi-touch, then plat group + hi-touch. BABYz really went for it!! Like a lot of us got hugs! We were able to watch the whole m&g but they didnt let us have our phones out ;A; (and I also had used up all 6.5 GB of space on my phone OTL) BAP were SOOOOOOOO sweet UGH we stan literal ANGELS!! They love BABYz so fricken much!! JSJ was sooo nice to allow a lot of fan interactions AHHHHHHHH BAP did a lot of cute poses and played around with BABYz! LEt mE TELL YOU THAT BAP IS SERIOUSLY SOOOO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, HANDSOME, GORGEOUS, STUNNING, MESMERIZING, UP CLOSE HOW DID MY HEART EVEN SURVIVE?????? I GOT TO BEAR HUG EVERYONEEEE THEYRE ALL SO TALL AND IM HELLA SMOL SO THEY HAD TO SQUAT DOWN FOR ME HUUHUU THYE LIKE PATTED MY BACK DURING THE HUGS TOO AHHHHHH WE HAD A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME WITH ALL OF THEM!!!

Hello đ Well I don't know if your ask is open but if it is: how would the turtles comfort their girlfriend during a thunderstorm (which she HATES)? Thank you so đ
Thank you for this :) A little hint of NSFWâŚHope you like it!
Leo
First he will make you a cup of chamomile tea to help you relax, keeping his eyes on you while heâs waiting for the water to boil. âThatâs it Angel, look at me.â He will keep talking to keep you distracted until the tea has finished steeping. Leo would help you create a calming mantra. Sitting with you on the floor he will hold your hands, leading you into the mantra that the two of you came up with together in case of this type of situation. âItâs a warm fall night, the sky is full of stars and the moon is full, I am happy here.â He will sit with you as long as it takes for you to become calm. He might also put on soft instrumental music. If the storm is a longer one, he could distract you in the other way he knows he can. Blue eyes glittering, Leo will make you forget everything but what heâs doing to your body.
Raph
âTell me what ya need, Tiger.â Red will offer to do whatever you want to help distract you. You want to listen to music loud enough to drown out the noise? Perfect, Raph has a playlist full of your favourite songs called âTigerâ already set up. If heâs noticed that youâve taken an interest in his Sai lately, get ready for your first lesson. If you just want to be held, well this is definitely the time that he will pull out all the stops for the most epic cuddle ever. Heâll play with your hair, trace his fingers over your face, rub your neck, hold you tight and softly hum. If he notices that youâre still feeling on edge and you give him the go ahead, Raph will pick you up and carry you to the bedroom. Soon, you will be screaming his name so loud you wonât hear the thunder.
Donnie
âO, Dove, you have Astraphobia. Iâd like to try something with you, if you will allow me.â Donnie has done some research and will attempt âsystematic desensitizationâ. Which involves (in this scenario) getting used to various components of storms until they donât cause you fear. Donnie will be very patient and not expose you to the next level until you are ready. 1. Think about the storm. 2. Look at pictures of the storm. 3. Watch videos (muted) of the storm. 4. Listen to sounds of the storm. Of course, if he discovers this isnât helping you, he will try something else. If youâre open to it, maybe youâll let him try out that new âgadgetâ he made just for youâŚon you. Donnie is also excellent to cuddle with. Laying down beside you he will pull you into his plastron and spoon you for as long as you need, soft whispers and light touches trying to soothe.
Mikey
Expect lots of hugs, kisses and reassuring words. âDonât worry Babycakes, Mikeyâs not gonna let anything happen to you.â He might lead you over to his drum set and hand you the drum sticks. âHere, Sweetcheeks, have a goâŚI bet you can be louder than the thunder!â Even if youâve never played them before and all you do is make a racket, Mikey will play air guitar along with you, and act like youâre rock stars at a concert. If it looks like it helped you and you ended up having fun, you can bet that he will offer to teach you how to play. Heâs always looking for an excuse to spend more time with you. Mikey loves affection and will give you as much as you want. He will let it go as far as you will let him take it.

CRAVE by Tracy Wolff thoughts: Chapter 0 - 21
Full video here.
In which a mortal girls goes to her uncleâs boarding school after the death of her parents, and finds it full of creatures.
CH 0 for some reason: if youâre not living on the edge, youâre taking up too much space
âTry my hardest not to freak the eff outâ - if youâre gonna use expletives, use them
Immediate info dump of âif youâd told me two months ago i was gonna be in fairbanks alaska to get a puddle jumper to denali, the highest mountain point in north americaâÂ
CH 1: landing is just throwing yourself to the ground and hoping you donât miss
I thought these quotes were weird self help quotes but then i realized they were probably the chapter titles
The fog is referred to as âcivil twilightâ - this weirded me out because civil blood and twilight, idk if this is a real thing? Will look it up if i remember: it is the brightest of the 3 twilight phases and it is ABUNDANTLY clear that she added the civil part to not make it straight up twilight because this book is unwitting twilight satire
He tells her itâs a short runway âbecause itâs hard to keep a long one clear of snow or ice for any amount of timeâ HEâS IN THE MIDDLE OF LANDING A PLANE ATM BRO WE DONâT NEED ALL OF THAT INFO ATM
Grace is kind of funny if not a little cheesy
âTextbook landingâ - maybe if that textbook is a horror novel heâs reading upside down and backwards - i donât know if by listening to this iâm missing the line breaks and short sentences that would make this funny, so if i am lemme know but if she didnât break this up itâs clunky
Her uncle is headmaster of the boarding school sheâs being sent to
âDespite being a year younger than my own 17 yearsâ - did you not read this out loud? Did no one hear how redundant that was?
âAccording to wikipedia, heeley - hailey? - has only one major roadâ sheâs mentioned google and wikipedia at this point and idk if iâm the only one who finds that type of thing annoying af
âIn weather thatâs 20 degrees below freezing, if the app on my phone can be believedâ THIS IS SO ANNOYING
âThe insulated helmet will keep you warm as well as protect your head if we crashâ yes macy we know what helmets are and also insulation, again the redundancy
CH 2: Just because you live in a tower doesnât make you a prince
âIs that kadmere academy?â i shout - not, is that it? Theyâre on a snowmobile, with helmets on, and macy understood her...and she understood macy saying theyâd be there in five minutes
She couldnât google the academy
âI half expected quasimodo to be waiting for us when we got thereâ
It may be a castle but at least thereâs no moat or dragon
Macy has short rainbow-colored hair
Sheâs wikipediaâd and googled her life away but didnât expect to not be able to breathe since sheâs coming from sea level and is now up in the mountains - iâm from florida and even i know what altitude sickness is
She sees a flash of red in the window âi donât know who it is or why they even matterâ ...what does that mean?
But she doesnât see them when she looks back and sheâs disappointed, which she acknowledges makes no senseâŚ
âI should be bowing and scraping right about nowâ
Itâs a castle with an xbox and giant flat screen, and they have wifi AND cell service up in the desolate mountains. I went to cossayuna - 476 feet above sea level, 7 miles from a town - and NONE of us had cell service the entire time
She picks up a chess piece and itâs a carved vampire, then a dragon
Then she comes face to face with the most intimidating guy iâve ever seen, not just because heâs hot, thereâs something different and powerful though i donât have a clue what it isâ
Face too intense to be beautiful, skyscraper cheekbones????, red lips, stone-cutting jaw, bottomless obsidian eyes, obscene lashes
Trapped by his stare, hypnotized by the sheer magnetism rolling off him in waves
âAnnoyance flashes through meâ
Heâs blocking her view of anything else - did he step between her and the chess board?? Confusion, but because of this she has to look at his long lean body
âDouble-wide shouldersâ gross
âNothing to do but admit that this boy is sexy AF - a little wicked, a lot wild, and all dangerousâ
âSeriously, when exactly did i become the heroine of some YA romance? The new girl swooning over the hottest, most unattainable boy in school?â
CH 3: vampire queens arenât the only ones with a nasty bite
He quotes hamlet to her, and she corrects him for fucks sake
âI warned your uncle you wouldnât be safe here, but he obviously doesnât like you muchâ
âWelcome to alaska?â âmore like welcome to hell, now get the fuck outâ
âIgnoring the pterodactyls flying around in my stomachâ - this is a great line if it didnât take you completely out of the action, which it does
This whole exchange about big bad monsters is soooooo fucking cliche
And heâs talking about the chess pieces the whole time????? Am confusion.
Sheâs so horny for this insane man screaming at her and cornering her
She says sheâs lost everything that matters and he changes, his agony visible behind âlayers and layers of defenses heâs erectedâ
Itâs calling to her own agony
They're soooo connected and staring at each other
He pulls on one of her curls and it makes her super horny
âFive minutes ago he was being a total douche to meâ
Pushing him is like pushing a wall of granite
Heâs got a scar down half his face that she didnât notice until now????
âA fallen angel with a bad boy vibe for milesâ
Sheâs touching his scarâŚ
âI donât understand youâ
AND SHE QUOTES HIM QUOTING HAMLET IN RESPONSE
CH 4: shining armor is so last century
âMr. tall dark and surlyâ would be more snarky and cute if she didnât just have an ~earth-shattering moment of connection~ with him over their agony or w/e
Some weird instinct i donât understand tells me not to mention that guy - the amount of times this girl has acknowledged something she doesnât understand is so redundant and weird.
She keeps referring to the guy she spent half the last chapter basically falling in insta-love with as âtall dark and surlyâ as if that didnât happen, as if he was just a dick and then he left without all the insta-love shit
Uncle finn and flint is a student...couldnât pick any other name?
âA smile in his eyes thatâs as different from the other guyâs iciness as the stars just outside the windows are from the endless midnight blue of the skyâ and iâve fallen asleep while she was spinning this long unending heavy-handed metaphor
His eyes blaze with sympathy
He offers to give her a piggyback up the stairsâŚ
âYouâre so little i wonât even noticeâ not lyk other girls guyz
Four guys open the door and theyâre all sexy AF, tall dark and surly is among them ofc
âI couldnât help but wonder why the icy guy made me hot and the one lending me his warmth left me coldâ WE GET IT WE FUCKING GET IT WE DIDNâT NEED YOU TO SPELL OUT THE ALLUSION
âI want a name to go with his insane body and even more insane faceâ
CH 5: things hot pink and harry styles have in common
Macy is a cinnamon roll i love her
His name is JAXON VEGA...JAXON. G2G
Macy was so nice to her that she finally starts crying because macy is the BEST
Grace puts on a harry styles t-shirt and macy is dancing around to watermelon sugar when she comes back. This book already feels dated and it came out last month
CH 6: no i donât really want to build a snowman
She wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about jaxon and almost has a panic attack
I hope in the actual book there is a tw for panic attacks because when i see / read about the symptoms of one or a description of one it triggers one for me
She goes exploring the castle in the dark to avoid the attack
Some guys come in wearing like concert tees and ripped jeans and she wonders if theyâre ghosts, like how hogwarts has ghosts
I could swear he was sniffing me which was totally bizarre and not ghostlike behavior at all - this was cringe except i was listening to it at like 2x speed so when you hear it fast itâs actually funny
The guys corner her
They say something like âshow us what you can doâ and they seem to smell something about herâŚ? Theyâre werewolves maybe??
CH 7: Something really freaking wicked this way comes
Hate these titles sfm
âWith my thin california blood, i wonât last in the snowâ
Jaxon saved her ofc and makes the guys apologize
âThe moon is doing its thingâ theyâre totally werewolves
She thanks him and heâs like âi just made you a pawn in a gameâ and sheâs like dude what but heâs staring at her and itâs making her hot and bothered
He wipes blood of her bottom lip and sucks it off and she finds it SUPER sexy
âThis isnât like your old high schoolâ
He whispers in her ear âyou have no idea what i knowâ and iâm like..okay dis kinda hot or whatever
She wonders when sheâll see him again and why it matters so much to her - bitch because he makes you horny!!!! Just say that!!!!!!
CH 8: Live and let die
Itâs at this point that i stopped for the first round, and i had to ask: why the FUCK didnât macy or the headmaster tell grace that this was a school for - obviously - vampires and werewolves? Is macy one? Is it genetic? Grace is a mortal according to the back of the book.
Grace tells macy what happened minus jax
She mentions to macy the boys didnât have cold weather gear on and macyâs like hmmm weird idk anything about that
And theyâre going to a party tonight and grace is like i donât wear makeup i only own makeup and lip gloss and iâm like...did i accidentally re-download AFTER because here we go with the NLOG syndrome
The party is a welcome party for grace - and itâs actually a high tea??? Tf?
âIâd die without netflixâ
âHave you seen this show legacies? Itâs about a bunch of supernatural creatures that go to a boarding school! Isnât that silly??!â
And then macy says, âwho can resist a hot vampire?â
GuysâŚ.are we SURE this isnât satire?
âI canât help remembering what those guys said about the moon doing its thing when i see the werewolf on the showâŚâ
CH 9: Even hell has its factions
Omg her dress is showing off too much of her big boobs, maybe the jeans she originally wanted to wear will be better
Macy calls her beautiful and then we get a full âwith my curly hair and freckles and this color eyes iâm so not beautiful, iâm wallpaper next to macyâ
âWe could be fashionably absentâ lol
The beads on the door donât shock grace but they shock everyone because she is NOT LIKE OTHER GIIIIIIIIRLS
This castle is goth chic baybeeeeee the light fixtures are downturned thorny black roses where can i cop these
âThe pterodactyls in my stomach are now butterfliesâ
She says FML. did a 50 year old woman write this. Edit: i looked, i cannot find how old this author is
Velvet wallpaper, wall sconces shaped like dragons, LET ME IN
âSelf-imposed isolationâ lol little did she know what a phrase in the lexicon this would become in 2020
Cliques include muscular people near the windows, soft flowery delicate people in the back of the room which are macyâs friends, super-tall literally hot people in the middle, and the black-or-white money people that seem to be more formal
She says âbasketball anyone??â re the tall people lol
I am going to guess: werewolves, witches, dragons??, and vampires
Macy keeps having coughing fits?
Hot redhead - simone, hot dark girl - lily, hot asian girl - gwen
âSimoneâs just bitter all the guys are looking at youâ
Grace loves dr. pepper so i fuck with her
Macyâs boyfriend is cam and his friend is james, who looks at her like she is food?
âIâm just not that interestingâ
CH 10: turns out, the devil wears gucci
Would i have probably picked this title as well? Yes. did it make me cringe nonetheless? Fer shure.
âDo i need some jerk trying to make me his afternoon snack?â huh???? As far as you know these are normal boys...make it make sense
Jaxon makes his ENTRAAAANCE BABY
Dressed all in gucci black - she can tell from across the goddamn room
âJaxon is anything but regular, anything but ordinary, even here among the blatantly extraordinaryâ
Icy blank stare soooooo much
She calls his voice low wicked and wild
She canât stop thinking about ârunning my tongue over the perfect bow of his upper lip, dragging is lower lip between my teethâ
Idk where these thoughts are coming from!!!! Baby you 17 câmon now
I try to think of anything else, snow!
She takes a drink and it goes down the wrong pipe lmaoooo
âAt least if i find a bathroom i can die in peaceâ lol
But he touches her and she stops choking and sheâs like âhe couldnât have stopped that, i know, butâŚâ
He stares at her as he bites the strawberry and she takes it as a threat
CH 11: in the library, no one can hear you scream
âHis moods change more quickly than my bffs instafeedâ I -
Oh so NOW sheâll say âthe fuck you in his eyesâ but she was saying freaking and eff before...did her publisher tell her only x amount of fucks per book?
She goes into the library and her body is like RUN, but she ignores itâŚ
There are beautiful gargoyles and ornate shelves and...stickers fucking everywhere?
The gargoyle is pointing to an secret room that says students needs permission, but she hears chanting and decides to check it out since it might be one of the native languages spoken in alaskaaaaaaaaaa
âEspecially because some of them only have less than 4,000 speakers left in the worldâ okay gracie-pedia tf?
CH 12: itâs all fun and games until someone loses their life
She meets a girl named Leah - who was the one chanting
Okay but i do fuck with the horror movie quote pillowsâŚ
Damn leahâs boyfriend diedâŚ
âTea from homemade leavesâ again...read this out loud before you put it in a published novel...do you mean loose leaves? Do you mean homegrown leaves?
Is she gonna poison her????
âWhat do you guys have to lie about thatâs so important?â âEverythingâ
CH 13: just bite me
âLol jkâ
âFinish your drinkâ BITCH ITâS POISON
Macy and leah are being soooo weird about what could have happened to grace on her own
Apparently leah is super popular and secretive so itâs weird she took to grace so fast - is this a NLOG sitch or a âcome into my web little flyâ sitch?
She pukes because of âaltitude sicknessâ aka poisoning i bet
CH 14: knock knock knocking on deathâs door
This theme of bastardization of guns and roses songs is really....something.
Grace takes a mental health day because sheâs still feeling weird
Flint comes to check on her and invite her to a snowball fight�
If your characterâs name is grace, i feel like you canât use gracefully as an adjective, the same way you wouldnât say Rue said something ruefully.
Flint kisses her cheek and iâm already waiting for this Great Value Edward/Jacob triangle
But he makes her feel ~nothing~ compared to jaxon
CH 15: so hell actually can freeze over
Macy likes flint, uh-oh
But the different groups donât mix
âWhat is this, mean girls alaska edition?â - stfu
Omg her uncle checks on her and he reminds her of her dad and :(
We get sooooooo much detail about how to dress to go out into the wilderness...here is one thing i was able to find out: tracy wolff lives in texas. So i feel like she did ALL this research and then was like yâall gonna LEARN ABOUT THIS I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME!
As a girl who has never ever seen snow, i felt this fascination
She finds a gnarled up weird tree guarding a trail
âA weird sense that i should turn around - like the feeling in the library - came over me but i knew i was just being sillyâ
The lack of survival instinct henny
She comes across a gazebo where leah and jaxon are sitting
CH 16: sometimes keeping your enemies close is the only thing that prevents hypothermia
Thatâs not a chapter title, itâs an entire sentenceâŚ
Ooh theyâre having an angry, intimate convo
And leah slaps him!!
âTheyâre looking at me like theyâre the predators and iâm the prey they canât wait to sink their teeth intoâ we get it, first of all. Second of all, what is with the long-winded metaphors
âEvery time i catch sight of him i feel something tug at me i canât identify, something i have no ability to explainâ itâs horniness.
Then she just leaves but he catches up to her
With his sexy af hair blowing
âTrying to run away from all the thing he makes me feel when really i just want to grab on to him and hold on tightâ - so what is the truth?! You keep acting like you donât know what the feeling is but clearly, YOU DO.
âEveryone answers to me, eventually.â - we found the line used in the adverts guys!
Oh my god, what an asshat. Asshole, i would have laughed. Asshat is stupid.
Itâs annoying af
Doing my best dory impression: just keep walking
âMaking friends with a dr - a guy like flintâ CALLED IT, heâs a dragon
Leahâs boyfriend was jaxonâs brother
Neither leah nor jaxon was wearing a jacket. BOOM
CH 17: itâs discretion, not diamonds, thatâs a girlâs best friend
Not only cringe but grammatically incorrectâŚshe coulda just said âdiscretion is a girlâs best friendâ and we woulda got the referenceâŚ.
Grace mentions jaxon in front of macy and sheâs supes weird and grace is FINALLY like wtf is the secret youâre hiding from me
âShe looks at me like iâm a few snowflakes short of a snowballâ SOMEONE. READ THIS OUT LOUD. WHERE IS HER EDITOR I JUST WANNA TALK.
The order?! âJust a nickname for the popular boysâ bullSHIT
Macy FREAKS OUT when she realizes grace has been alone with jaxon
She says he was interesting and âmacy looks at me like i said i wanted to bodysurf the alaskan tundraâ
Macy âWeâre talking about jaxon right? Arrogance of a rock star?â
She didnât mention âthe scar that turns him from to pretty sexy af, and scary afâ
âHeâs not the one who tried to kill meâ âyouâve only been here a few days, give it timeâ get her MACY!
HE WAS LISTENING!!!!
CH 18: how many hot guys does it take to win a snowball fight?
Ooh jaxon mad that grace is going to flintâs snowball fight
âHis breath is so warm and soft that i can feel it everywhere, even deep insideâ okay you horny bitch!!!!! Was this cringe or did i like it or both?
âThe orange and dark water scent of himâ ...what? Dark water is a cologne? Or does she literally mean like the dark water of the ocean? What in confusion
Her throat is always tight and dry around him, all the time, every day
Flint pops up and he is wearing a dragon beanieâŚ
The rest of the order shows up and âFor the first time the phrase got your back makes senseâ to grace...are you kidding me? You never understood a very simple common phrase til now? Sure jan
SEXUAL TRIANGLE TENSIOOOOOOOOON
But she only has eyes for Jaxon...they both reach to touch each other.
âGraceâ itâs barely a whisper but i feel it all the way inside myself BITCH
âSomething tells me this boy and his world famous disappearing act is going to be the death of meâ
CH 19: we came, we fought, i froze
Civil twilight AGAIN.
âI didnât think screwed up and obnoxious was your typeâ me-OW
The snowball fight happens
Sounds like fun, the designer faction isnât there
âDid she just do parkour against that tree?â re: Macy so close to being funny. I did exhale through my nose. Then âdid you just parkour that tree?â i DID laugh
Flint climbs the tree with grace over his shoulder âlike spider manâ and all i can think is âyou better hold on tight spider monkeyâ
The wind is so strong it knocks her out of the treeâŚ
CH 20: thereâs never a parachute around when you need one
Flint catches her in mid-air...this man⌠#teamflint2020
âYouâre heavier than you lookâ dead
He has shame in his eyes? Why?
Because JAXON IS THERE AND HE IS MAD!
And flint is SUPER MAD!!!!!!!
Jaxon puts himself between grace and flint so grace canât touch flint
âCan i just say iâm feeling a lot like alice in wonderland here? Things get curiouser and curiouser.â stfu
I was laughing because she was like âso much for fitting in, now i might as well be painted biohazard orangeâ but then she said fml. Stfu
Jaxon picks her up
CH 21: I like standing on my own two feet, but getting swept off them feels surprisingly good, too
If it takes up more than one line of a google docs page ITâS NOT A FUCKING CHAPTER TITLE!!!!!
Ooh and his arms feel really good around her, REALLY good
Now he smells like orange and snow and itâs making her crazy
Macy looks at them like sheâs getting punkâd
âGrace.â âwhat?â âshut up.â iâm dead
âI sprained my ankle, iâm not dying of consumptionâ âyeah well, the night is youngâ this made me lol despite it being more of macyâs voice than jaxonâs
Jaxon is blaming grace for falling? âYou donât see macy falling out of her treeâ is he negging her rn?
Sheâs called him super-sexy twice in a paragraph
Macy goes to get ice bc sheâs scared of Jaxon and grace says, âEt tu, brute?â lmaooo
âI can do it myselfâ âmaybe i wanna do it for youâ and macy squeaks LMAO
His scar makes his smile a crooked little smirk...who else had a crooked smirk...the vampire this is 1000% based on, maybe?
âI find myself relaxing despite myselfâ guys. Reading is power. Read your work out loud so you can hear when you use the same word twice in a sentence, like this.
âMy whole body lights up like the aurora borealis iâm still dying to seeâ
They almost kiss but donât bc macy comes back

So youâre new to the Hippo Campus fandom...welcome!! Chances are youâre here because you heard the latest singles âWestern Kidsâ or âWay It Goesâ. Maybe you heard âMonsoonâ playing in Starbucks or just wanna know who those guys people are posting pictures of are! Either way, youâre here, you like HC, and you wanna know more about them. Hereâs way too much information who Hippo Campus is.Â
(disclaimer: Iâm sure this isnât everything but itâs damn near close and a good start. If you have time, watch all the interviews & Hippo related videos on YouTube and read whatever interviews are just floating around on google!)
Hippo Campus (@/thehalocline / hippocampusband.com) is an alternative/indie/pop/rock band hailing from the Twin Cities in Minnesota comprised of four members...
who all attended the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts. Hippo has been around since about summer 2013, after the majority of its members (everyone but Zach) graduated high school. Zach & Jake both went on to study at the University of Minnesota for a short period before leaving to tour full-time with the band. The four piece currently (as of fall 2017) has released three EPs and one debut album, with new music already in the works. Hereâs more about all of that.
THE MEMBERS:
Whistler Allen aka Beans (Drums, vocals)
Birthday - March 13, 1995 (Pisces)
Height: like 5â˛7-5â˛8
Known for his love of donuts which many fans brought to him at a show. Currently is not looking for more donuts, but it doesnât hurt to tweet him & see!!Â
Best at replying to fans on twitter.Â
Can be shy & timid in person, but a total sweetie and easy to talk with.
Really good painter (channeling his namesake?). Check out his stuff on his instagram!!
@/whistler_isaiah on twitter; @/whistlerisaiah on instagram & snapchat.
Jake Luppen aka Turntan (lead vocals, guitar)
Birthday - May 20, 1995 (Taurus)
Height: over 6â˛0
Lanky sweetheart.
Has a wonderful girlfriend, Katya...
with whom he has two pet rabbits
was classically trained in opera (so yes, there kinda is a reason his voice is that outlandishly good)
@/theturntan on twitter; instagram was deleted in March 2017
Nathan Stocker aka Stitches (Guitar, vocals)
Birthday - July 4, 1994 (Cancer)
Height: like 5â˛6-5â˛7
Makes solo music under the name brotherkenzie. Not public as of July 2017.
If youâre lookinâ for someone to talk to about life and all that jazz, catch Nathan after a show.
Behind most of the social media posts on the band accounts
used to be very present on socials, doesnât like it as much now (actually is quite against it)
@/brotherkenzie on twitter, but very, very, very silent (occasionally likes some tweets about the shows!!)
Zach Sutton aka Espo (Bass, vocals)
Birthday - February 19, 1996 (Pisces)
Height: over 6â˛0
Can be very sarcastic and sassy, or very sweet and caring. Sometimes both.
Active on twitter: always likes, rarely replies.
Pretty cheeky. Rarely ever answers seriously if you catch him when heâs sarcastic so, like, donât ask about when new music will be released.
@/espocampus on twitter & instagram.
-
Iâve had the privilege of meeting & talking to all four of the guys and I touch on that more in depth here!!
Wait. Did you say Beans, Turntan, Stitches, and Espo?
Back in the day the guys went purely by those nicknames. Theyâve sort of faded by now, with only Jake & Zachâs still existing in social media handles; as well as Zach being the last one to sign with his nickname.Â
This interview explains the nicknames!!
Okay, okay the members are all super awesome guys but what about the amazing music they create and, ya know, the reason we like the band?
...
Chronologically:
Tarzan Reject EP (2013)
St. Paul Roofs
I (Oh I)
Sula
South (2013 Version)
Little Grace (2013 Version)
ALL SONGS HERE!!
Tarzan Reject is the first unreleased EP by Hippo Campus, dug up by people on the internet. Thatâs really all thatâs known about it thatâs, like, official.
The fandom collectively loves Sula. Hippo rarely plays Sula. But when they do, it goes hard.
Bashful Creatures EP (2014)
(see: this weird, iconic video announcing/promoting it)
Sophie So
Little Grace
Souls
Suicide Saturday
Opportunistic
Bashful Creatures
ALL SONGS HERE!! (& Spotify, iTunes, etc)
Official Music Videos from Bashful:
Little Grace. Simple, yet odd video. First music video, filmed for a friend in a local project. The video which created the fruit motifs, as seen on the Fruit Tee, and again briefly in Souls.
Souls. Second video, where the band really got to explore their own idea and have fun with it.
Suicide Saturday. Just the band running around in paint? I wouldnât put it past them. Theyâre fun kids. Suicide is one of the songs that really boosted HC. They performed it on Conan (video no longer available, sadly) after being approached at their first SXSW.
South EP (2015)
Close To Gold
Dollar Bill
South
Violet
The Halocline
ALL SONGS HERE!! (& Spotify, iTunes, etc)
Official Music Videos from South:
South. Interesting, aesthetically pleasing video. Nathan has a solo during âgo down south...â!!
Violet. This video is what a lot of people first know of the band. Simple, yet iconic. Violet is generally what they play for an encore. Also goes hard. Whistler has a solo toward the end (âoh violetâ)!!
(sidenote: you may notice that the outro of Dollar Bill sounds eerily similar to that of Sula. I donât know why they did that but I love it.)
Pause. What even is a âhaloclineâ anyway?
Jake explains the meaning of that here!! @/thehalocline is their handle on socials, âThe Halocline EPsâ is the collective title of both Bashful & South, overall huge symbol for the band, their ideals, their music. A concept that the fans hold dear, as well.
landmark (2017)
(Making of landmark)
(performed in its entirety for Minnesota radio station The Current)
(full acoustic performance for YouTube Space NY; livestream)
Cover is based off their writing space (Zachâs basement) with each song corresponding to an object on it!!
sun veins (the paint can/paint on the wall)
way it goes (doc martens/pavement record)
vines (grapes)
epitaph (record player)
simple season (window & moon seen from it)
tuesday (box of wine)
western kids (phone)
poems (collared shirt & the armchair itâs on)
monsoon (calendar)
vacation (plant)
boyish (apricot tree)
interlude (clock)
buttercup (boxing gloves)
ALL SONGS HERE!! (& Spotify, iTunes, etc)
Official Music Videos from landmark:
way it goes. Features the band and some of their friends just havinâ a good time.
simple season. Official live video!!
western kids. Yeah...even I canât explain this one. (Kidding. Mainly symbolic for the meaning behind the song, how people get sucked into social media/the internet/technology.)
monsoon. Lyric video. Yes, Nathan wrote it about the passing of his sister, read what he said about that here.
boyish. Boyish is about divorce & family difficulties, so I interpret this video as what seems to be a picture family actually fighting a lot. as simple as that gets.
warm glow EP (2017)
baseball
traveler
warm glow
ALL SONGS HERE!! (& Spotify, iTunes, etc)
warm glow has three songs that were written around the same time as/originally written for landmark. âbaseballâ has been played live for a while, and a fan favorite. âtravelerâ was debuted at the August Lolla aftershow in Chicago. a few seconds of âwarm glowâ can be heard in the aforementioned âmaking of landmarkâ video, and debuted at the first MN State Fair show in September.Â
-
And thereâs a bunch of unreleased songs theyâve played live!!!Â
-
check out their Genius page for all the lyrics & more info about the songs!! Exciting and interesting to take some time and dive into.
also watch the ENTIRE concert in Boston on the Landmark Tour!!
Whatâs a concert like?
The most fun you will ever have (I might be biased). Highly energetic, the lighting design design is gorgeous, the band sounds even better live than in studio (I know it doesnât seem possible but it really is!!)Â
They have VIP upgrades for many shows, of which perks will include a lot for their 2017 fall tour. As for their past Landmark Tour, at least a couple of the boys came out to meet fans and talk afterwards. They are the easiest people to talk with. Getting a bit âfangirlyâ is completely understandable!! Just know that theyâre relatively young guys and deserve as much respect and calmness as anyone. As they gain more popularity, sure things will change in that area, but no matter how famous someone is, try your best to not freak out and most importantly: not freak the band out!! They love you so much and love talking to you. Also bringing them little gifts & letters is greatly appreciated!
(see if theyâre coming to a city near you!!)
Okay, I get the band now, but whoâs x person that I saw post a picture of them?
People associated with Hippo Campus that you will more than likely come across:
DeCarlo Jackson - plays trumpet with HC at some shows!! Friend from high school. Super cool, crazily talented guy. Featured in the way it goes mv.
Julia Kindall - Best friends with the band. Friend from high school. Amazing writer. Wrote a biography to preface a limited edition of the landmark vinyl. Occasionally accompanies the band on tour and helps run merch and the meet & greets. Sweet, sweet soul. Has a podcast with friend, Hanna, called The Pussys, which Whistler & Zach have been featured as guests on! Featured in the way it goes mv.
Katya Vorokhobova - Jakeâs girlfriend. Just so ya know who she is.
Madeline Stocker - Nathanâs sister. Total sweetheart. Great singer, too!
Holly Ann Latcham aka Boots - Hippoâs tour manager. Dedicated to her job and making the shows run smoothly. Definitely underappreciated; if you see her after the show chat with her if you can and thank her for all the hard work she does!! She & the band are featured in a documentary on âreal life roadiesâ, itâs a really good piece that gives great insight on this part of the industry (as well as some nice moments of the band).
Evan J Myers - Hippoâs merch manager. Cool, nice dude. Chat with him when you buy some merch!! Fun & easy to talk with, and super helpful at shows (and on social media most of the time!!)
David Kramer - graphic designer who is responsible for the beauties that are Hippoâs cover art. Occasionally travels with the band to photograph/film them.Â
Connor Siedow - Photographer that frequently hangs with the band and sometimes shoots their shows
Bands associated with Hippo Campus:
Remo Drive - played a few shows w/ HC; opening on the 2017 fall tour. check out âCrash Test Ratingâ!
The Happy Children - played some shows w/ HC; all went to high school together. check out âHonest Boyâ (you might see some...familiar faces)! (Caleb runs Normal Parents, clothing company/movement that Hippo wears a lot!!) (Mitchell is Whistlerâs roomate, jsyk)
Early Eyes - played a few shows with HC; cool kids who make groovy music that is somewhat influenced by HC. check out âTake Youâ!
MISCELLANEOUS
Old Bands:
Blatant Youth - Jake & Zach. Also Sam from Remo.Â
Whistle Kid - Jake & Zach.
Northern aka Danger Will Robinson - Whistler & Nathan. Also DeCarlo.
Still need more info?
Hippo Updating @hippoupdating does a fantastic job at keeping everyone updated with the latest on the band!!
Here is a new fan tag full of FAQs about the band!!
Okay, but HOW do I really get into this fandom?
Join us on tumblr, talk to me and everyone else on here, make dumb posts about the band like we do!!
Go to twitter!! Thereâs a lot of Hippo fans over there, follow some, retweet some, tweet the band... Twitter is pretty easy to get into, I think.
Start a fan account on instagram!! Zach likes posts pretty frequently, sometimes the band account does too.
You might come across some drama, sadly, because it exists and is inevitable. It can be pretty easy to avoid. Keep your head right, stay nice & respectful, and everything will go swimmingly!! This fandom is still relatively small, but as it grows, stuff like drama will just grow as well. Again, thatâs inevitable. But do whatever you can as a new fan to stay out of it and keep things sane. This community of people who all like Hippo Campus should stay a good place for every fan involved, as much as we can.
Welcome to the fanbase.âĽ
#hippo campus#whistler allen#jake luppen#nathan stocker#zach sutton#m#i apologize if i messed anything up or missed anything i made this from midnight-4 am#please message me if you catch anything wrong or want me to add something!!

"I just asked Daniel to say something and, characteristically, he refused"
"I cook quite a lot but you don't wanna eat what I'm cooking let me tell ya. Well I can cook 2 dishes. I can cook this stir-fry which kinda has like a sautĂŠ sorta vibe and the way I cook stir-fry is I get a tub of peanut butter and melt it and apparently that's not the why the way you do it."
"They call me taboo in the band, because I say the unsayable and do the undoable. I pull pranks and say whatever comes to mind."

Jennifer is our wonderful new keyboard player and she is SMOKIN'! And Angie...the evil counterpart to Anna on Backing Vocals...she is such a wonderful addition to our crew... beautiful voice..all calm and zen like and gorgeous too. Karl Lewis is constantly getting stressed over the fact that I lean..put fingerprints on and sometimes even lick the plastic shield that separates the apocolyptic bang and crash of his drums and my vocal mike. It's this barrier that prevents his drums drowning out my sound on stage... he spends hours polishing it and in an instant on stage I can reduce him to a mere SMERE..completely unrecogizable...with the pressing of my face against it. It's fun."
"Did someone say, OH MY GOD???" -, on Madonna attending a Savage Garden concert on the 'To the Moon & Back Tour' "Daniel doesn't let me have any... he's got em all... maybe I'll get this one..." - on what he does with his ARIA Awards

warm weather is here to stay - TY, June.
Hereâs the thing. I havenât been in the mood to blog recently, so I havenât. I tried to force myself one night, but nothing was flowing and I was easily distracted. Itâs timeâŚIâm leaving to go on vacation for a week and that will be another huge post, so I need to get these past ones DONE. Welcome to a v long recap :)Â
I spent the first weekend of June on Cloud 9. I went to Tara and Robynâs apartment Friday night, ate pizza, and relaxed on their balcony snuggled in blankets for hours.
During this balcony sesh, we decided to adventure the rest of the weekend. They picked me up the next afternoon, we made a few food and beverage stops, lost all (literally all) service on our phones, and set up at a dispersed camp site somewhere in Rocky Mountain National Park. We were right next to running water which happened to be the perfect sound to fall asleep to later that night. But, rewind. We gathered some more wood and cooked our tin foil dinner over the fire.Â
We woke up and made the 15 minute drive to the trail head. The hike was definitely harder than we thought, thanks to the snow. Most, if not the entire, hike there was uphill. The snow got BAD and once we got above treeline. That shit got incredibly deep. I was throwing cuss words left and right. Tara and Robyn got to see a whole other side of me. Thankfully, Robyn was just as frustrated, but Tara is a champ. She seriously wasnât phased by any of it â guess thatâs Alaska for ya. Before we left Denver, we checked Instagram for recent photos of the trail. We saw barely any snow and a beautiful green/blue lake â Chasm Lake. Â When we finally make it to the top, we found a completely frozen lake â oh. We decided to not hike down towards the lake, but sit and eat our foot long subs with a gorgeous view. The hike back down was much more pleasant, especially once we got past the snow. In the end, the hike was about 8 miles and took us over 5 hours, including our lunch break. I was a dead person and couldnât help but pass out when I got home. I rewarded myself with Mac Nâ Cheese (naturally) and a bath. I caught the camping bug and I canât wait to do it again!
Robyn and I decided it was time to join the Denver Public Library. We made the trip on a Tuesday evening and, I have to stay, the check out process made me GASP. You scan your card, place up to 4 books on the scanner thing, and it reads all your titles in 1 second â not exaggerating. Technology, am I right?!?
That week we also signed up for a free Barryâs Bootcamp class. Iâve never done Orange Theory Fitness, but Robyn said it was the same exact thing. It was an awesome workout followed by a free smoothie. I love free.
Tara, Robyn, and I (shocking, I know) left for Vail Thursday night after work. Why? Moon Taxi! TY GoPro Mountain Games for the free concert. Â We drove up, danced like maniacs, and got back to Denver around 12:30am. We all had to work the next day, duh. But seriously, the things you do for good music. I went in liking Moon Taxi a lot, and I came out freaking obsessed.
We took it easy Friday, per usual, then spent Saturday bopping around RiNo breweries. We started at 10 Barrel, walked to Epic, then took an Uber (because weâre directionally challenged) to Mockery. My favorite beer was at 10 Barrel, but Mockery had some really different âbeerâ options. They had a beer/tequila mixture that I was tempted to try, but I opted not to because I didnât want to die. We met an incredibly nice bachelor party as we were leaving Mockery. We went with them to the next bar where they proceeded to buy alllll of the drinks #blessed. In true form, I eventually did a nice little Irish goodbye. Â
SIDE FREAKING NOTE: At the beginning of our bopping, I was waiting for a very special text. BRITTANY RICH GOT ENGAGED!!!!! This picture sucks, but the whole gang got to video chat and it was so, so special. Â
We had a team event the following Friday at Lucky Strike.. It was fun and the bar food <3 was great. Itâs crazy how dramatically different this work place is from DC. People drink during lunch and no one cares. This event was from 12-2pm and drinks were included. You could go back to work afterwards, but up to you. I said hells no and did some tipsy shopping at F21 and H&M next door. I should probably do that more often because I really love everything I ended up purchasing.
Robby and I went to get our hair done at Clementineâs Salon in Aurora on Saturday. The store is located at Stanley Marketplace aka the cutest place ever. Itâs a huge warehouse with tonssss of places to eat, shop, drink, play, get married (seriously!), etc.  It used to be something that planes used âŚcanât remember. Whatever, itâs cool. The girl that did our hair went to Robinson High School with Robyn, so I had to support the VA girl and try her out. Verdict â sheâs fabulous and Iâll be going back.
Top stories for the next work week? I applied and was approved for TSA Pre-Check andddd I renewed my apartment lease. I will be living the Colorado life for another year!!
On Saturday we (and you know who I mean when I say âweâ) attended the Westword Music Showcase. It was a baby music festival downtown and it was awesome. We stopped at a few promo tents on our way in and ended up at a wine tasting. The tasting had me sold and I bought their white wine. I think I might join the wine-in-a-can family this summer. We walked to the main stage and posted up. My favorite band of the day, ARIZONA, came on first, and we had front row seats (YESSS). My phone died maybe two hours into the festival, so I was permanently bummed about that. If you donât document it, did it happen?! We saw Bob Moses, COIN, Cut Copy, The Revivalists, and Shakey Graves. Finishing the night with Shakey Graves was a bad move. Iâm almost positive it put everyone to sleep. Once the outdoor stages ended, we walked to a bar, stood outside and just stared at it in a daze. We immediately agreed we were too tired to have fun and got an Uber home at 10pm. Westword was convenient and fun! I would go again next year if I got the early bird tickets like we did this year. Tickets were selling for $50-75 the day of â no thanks.
Sunday night we went to Jazz in the Park which is similar to DCâs Jazz in the Garden. We had to park years away and forgot our blanket at the car. We pretty much learned how NOT to do it. Next time, weâll go earlier and bike over with blankets and food!
Last, but not least, BIKE TO WORK DAY! Denver takes this day v v seriously. From 6:30am-9am, there are tents set up all over downtown. We biked from tent to tent collecting free food, t-shirts, bike accessories, etc.. My initially empty backpack ended up stuffed. The Peeteâs coffee shop stop offered you a free breakfast burrito, a bar, fruit, and any sized coffee drink of your choice. The last stop we went to had donuts, so that was clearly a favorite of mine. REI had a DJ blasting some beats at 6:30am and a buffet that included baby donuts, fruit, bagels, pb, cream cheeseâŚall of the breakfast things. Explaining Bike to Work Day in Denver will never do it justice. Biking around the city with your friends surrounded by hundreds doing the exact same thing put a smile on my face. It was the perfect way to start my day...and a great excuse to be late for work :)
