First things first:
There's an excellent show happening at Cafe Du Nord on Thursday, January 13th. It's the Turn Records 5 year anniversary party, which is reason enough to go, but check out this line-up: Doctor Nurse, The Dying Californian, Dealership, Xiu Xiu, and Trackstar
I'll be there, will you?

Now, randomness: I've been really good about not buying shoes lately (like I need another pair), but I couldn't resist the chocolate brown colored low-top Converse I found while shopping for Christmas gifts. And it just occurred to me today that they totally go with my new bag. A girl's got to have shoes that match her bag, no?
