This isn't the first time I've seen Streetlight. They have been on repeat inside my headphones since highschool. The strangest person in my social studies class hooked me onto them. Kristen was strange but she wasn't a bad person. She disappeared off my radar after highschool. But this band stayed a constant through out my life.

The tickets were purchased the previous year. Back when I thought I would have the energy and money to go to Asbury. I barely had the energy, and I definitely didn't have the money. Despite that I had a fantastic time. It was my partner's first time seeing them and I think he enjoyed it. He seemed like he enjoyed it. The entire day was a little expensive but well worth it in the end.

We ended up eating at a rooftop bar place that everyone was dressed way nicer than us. I felt pretty out of place but the waiter loved my hair. My hair was dyed a bright neon red and it matched my glasses which was not planned at all. I couldn't tell if she was just putting on the whole flattery towards me as a way to get a higher tip, but I was too poor for it to work on if it was.

I drank. I smoked. We ate. We partied. And we slept hard at the airbnb.
