A Dialogue and a Story

"Dialogue"

Jaylyn:(to self) "What could I get Alex for Christmas?... Hmm. Jimmy Eat World = one of his very favesies of bands. I also thoroughly enjoy them. They just came out with a new album. Let's see if they're touring."
(Goes to Jimmy website)
Jaylyn:(still to self) "Hmm...next three months in Europe. Lame. I'll just leave the page and look at other bands. But wait! What is this I see? A show on October 30? Alas, that is Halloween, but I shall click on it anyway for fun."
(Click.)
Jaylyn:(out loud) "O-M-G!!!! " (then to self) "Tempe, AZ on October 30 and tickets are only $25?!?! Yes. Yeeees."
(Calls Alex, forsaking Christmas surprises in leiu of recent amazing news)
Jaylyn: "OMG! OMG! JIMMY!!"
Alex: "OMG! OMG! JIMMMMMMMYYYYYY!"
(Impulse buys tickets)
Alex: ".......... did we just impulse buy a road trip?"
Jaylyn: "Yes, yes we did."

Fast forward two weeks.
On our way to Jimmy, rocking the Aviators.

(Silence in the car for a little while)
Alex: "Are we seriously driving 7 hours for a concert?"
Jaylyn: "Ya, we're a little crazy, eh? Hehe."

We tried to take pics at the concert, but this is really the only one that turned out (unfortunately) because the lights were still up.
I'm reeeaaaalllly excited. Can you tell?


I didn't include this one in the total count of pictures that turned out because...well, you can see. It's funny, though, so I wanted to include it anyway. It may look like a crazy-face game picture, but this was my reaction to the first flash, not realizing it hadn't taken the picture yet. Hehe.


Anyway, the concert absolutely rocked my socks off. And Alex's. It was so much fun, and they were SOOooo good live.

(Silence in the car on the way home)
Alex: "That was so worth it."
Jaylyn: "Ya, impulse road trips to see freakin rockin bands are awesome. Let's do it again sometime."
Alex: "Mmmkay, honey."
