In a virgin pina colada and glow stick induced haze, I woke up this morning smelling of mosh pit with a lovely headache and ringing in my ears. You guessed it, Kate was actually out partying last night. You thought the day would never come, but as it turns out, I have a certain affinity for head banging for four hours straight. Kangapalooza was last night, so a large portion of the campus was crowded in the gym with mind numbingly loud music, crowd surfing, and lots of jumping up and down. The crowd surfing part was forbidden by the folks in charge, but they were quite unsuccessful at stopping the frat guys from hoisting random people above the crowd. The music got better and better as the night went on.
The first artist was a student here who...was very brave...to get up on stage and...rap for us little ditties about having "AC swag". Moving on, next was Icon For Hire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS8sqgBgzG8&ob=av2e(if you dare, turn the volume up as loud as you can and it makes the music about 10x better). While typically not my style, they were absolutely awesome and surprisingly nice and down to earth people in person, and yes, his mohawk is even bigger and her hair is even pinker now. When they started playing, dust and bits from the popcorn ceiling of the gym started falling the bass was so strong. It shook the whole place pretty good. The headliner was Hellogoodbye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55qtgqUd2WA (not the best quality sound or vid but the closest I could find to what they actually sounded like live). They were pretty good, but after such an energy filled set before them they just couldn't measure up. However, compared to most music events at AC (think Chopin and a barbershop quartet) we had amazing fun. Good times. We do have some pictures, but they are all on Robert’s camera.
In the meantime, I’ve been writing essays non-stop and have a test tomorrow so wish me luck. Also, I’ve started the process of applying for a student visa so that is of course, very exciting.
I love yall much always.

So glad you got to have a night of jumping around. have you found your essay writing skills pleasantly jumbled or perhaps the jumping knocked just the right neurons in place and your skills have markedly improved! Student visa!!!! Yeah!!! Such love for you, Mo
Love the music with Icon for Hire. And I bet it was a terrifically visceral experience in front of them. Shout on!
It was pretty terrific all right! And yes Mom, I think knocking a few little grey cells loose was good for my brain as the following day I wrote three French essays and each got an A+ on each!
