We Gotta Start It Off With A Positive Jam

In honor of show #5, and the person with whom I'm going, here's a repost, and a relevant song, about said friend, and the, well, second time, we met. As the universe would have it, we're just friends at this point, but I think that's the best way to be. We get along well, and frankly, are so busy, it wouldn't work anyway. Besides, when one is pining (Jesus, I just admitted that, didn't I) it's also ultimately unfair.

BUT, it's the fucking Hold Steady, and Z's never seen them and I'm PUMPED. So, consider this a full circle post as well.

I have a date Saturday. A second date. He's brilliant, and funny, and good-looking in a quirky, Craig Finn, kind of way. He's in law school at my alma mater. We met for drinks on Tuesday, and hardly stopped talking the entire time we were together, except to randomly look at each other quizzically, as if to say, "where did you come from?" And I'm nervous and excited to get together again this weekend. The parking ticket he was issued the other night while we were out was, "totally worth it, to get to meet you", he said in an email yesterday.
