Katelin on the Red Carpet.

Dear Hollywood,

Today I would usually write about all your crazy antics and TV shows and cute babies and good looking guys, but I'm doing things a little differently today. Hollywood, your biggest day is in NINETEEN days and I think I should be there. More importantly I should be on the red carpet and at the show and yes, sign me up.

With that, I'm taking some time out of my regularly scheduled blogging to tell you why I should be on the red carpet at the Oscar's:

• I would really like to meet Christian Bale. And I promise I wouldn't ask him to sing anything (despite my Newsies loving heart) and I would be really good at deciphering his thick accent and I would stay out of his way while at the same time totally conversing with him and it would be awesome.
  
  
• Mila Kunis? Need I say more. Actually yes I do. If I got a picture with her I'd win wife of the year award for sure!
  
  
• I've interviewed the cast of New Moon,  the American Idol top five from last season, Neon Trees and most recently Johnny Wright. So I've had practice. Also, I didn't swoon all over RPatz when I met him, now that is a feat all it's own.
  
  
• I look good in a formal dress. I mean I did rock my wedding dress pretty well right?
  
  
• I know the most random facts about celebrities and could easily make any interview interesting. I mean did you know that Sandra Bullock is allergic to horses or that Amy Adams was born in Italy or that Jeff Bridges is Buddhist and meditates before filming? I mean yes, I'm full of this ridiculous celebrity knowledge.
  
  
• Hello. Have you read my blog? I love Hollywood. I live Hollywood.
  
  
• Going to the Oscar's has always been one of my biggest dreams and is on my life list and what's better than helping a young woman's dreams come true? 

So Hollywood you see why I should be on the red carpet? I would be way better than Ryan or Joan or Mario or any of them? I'd be funny and spaztic and totally professional all at the same time!

So People, Extra, Access Hollywood, E! are you listening, I reallllllllly want to be on the red carpet at the Oscar's. Please? Pretty pretty please?





happy tuesday!

It's got GUMPTION!

The Holiday. Can we discuss how much I absolutely adore this movie? Like it's borderline obsession how much I like it. Last year I mentioned it as one of my up and coming Christmastime favorites (check out my whole list of holiday time movies) and this year, this year I just can't stop thinking about it.

And let's be real, I can't stop watching it either. Last night I put it on again. Second time in about a week or so? Yeah I'm a fan.

And why am I such a fan? Well let's break it down shall we:

• Kate Winslet, I adore her like woah. And I love the spazzy adorable ways of her character, Iris.
  
  
  
  
  
• Graham's daughters in the movie really makes me want to have kids with accents, because seriously, precious!! And Mr. Napkinhead? Can every dad be that cute? And their tent? That whole scene, I sort of melt a little inside every time.
• Amanda and Graham. So silly and proper and spazzy and yes, they are just cute.

• Arthur. A lovable, hilarious old man, yes please.
• The score. I have never been more inspired and more uplifted by a freaking movie score. It's just so pleasant and fun and I need to own it stat. Don't believe me? Listen!
  
• Although I don't really relate to Amanda as much, I want her job! Cutting movie trailers! And her movie collection? I nearly die every time I see that wall o movies, because I sort of need it in my life.
  
• Miles and Iris. Although not so much of a spark for me, they're still so cute and fun and they make fettucini and sing silly things and swoon to them.

So basically I have a huge crush on this movie and I totally get it if you don't feel the same way or if you haven't seen it, but it's just one of those things I can't really describe (well sort of since I did just share a ton of reasons why I love it, haha).

Any other holiday movies I should add to my list or develop an obsession for, haha?

happy thursday!

My Etsy wish list.

So last year I posted my Etsy wishlist and I mean it's Christmastime so why not do it again? Because let's be honest, ETSY is all sorts of awesome and has so much fabulous stuff, why not put it on my wishlist!?

• First Dance - a filigree floral ring. Seriously I would be okay with anything from Oh Hello Friend's store but this ring is one of my faves, besides one that was already purchased. But really. NEED.
  
  
  
  
  
• Wooden letter B. Simple right? And cute? And also the first letter of my new last name. So naturally we should have it displayed in our home right? Yeah that's what I thought too. So vintagey and just cute.
  
  
  
  
  
• Olive Green Sackcloth Handbag. I mean, YES. This is cute and I don't own a green purse, so naturally I should add this to my collection? Right? Seriously it's spacious and chic and businessy and cute and I adore it.
  
  
  
  
  
• Designed for Each other. Although I really don't need any more mugs like AT ALL but I sort of really want this one. Or anything from this store really, I mean it's Pride and Prejudice and it's dreaaaaamy.
  
  
  
  
  
• Karly Fuschia Rose and Turquoise Necklace. Now this necklace isn't really me at all, but it's so fierce and fun and I feel like I could possibly make it work, somehow, some way? But yeah it's lovely and I adore it.
  
  
  
  
  

Seriously I am such an Etsy fan, it's a wee bit ridiculous. But also awesome and I JUST WANT IT ALL. So stop it Etsy, my wallet needs a break. But how about not, it's Christmastime and a girl can dream right?

Anyhoo, what's on your Etsy wishlist? Anything fabulous I should add to mine?

happy wednesday!

Fall Craves.

Despite the fact that it's supposed to be 90 degrees again (seriously what the eff LA, it's FALL, give me some more FALL weather, but hold the rain please, I know I'm choosy) I have been drooling over some seriously adorable Fall like items lately.

And yeah I did just buy some sweaters and cardigans but I'm talking coats and shoes and cuteness and deliciousness here people. So um, here's what's on my Fall crave list (so far):

I need this coat in my life:


or this one:

clearly I have a thing for yellow.

So I've never owned boots,

like ever, but I WANT THESE:

These shoes just scream party

I want EVERY ONE of these colors,

O.P.I. I adore you.

I mean yes, this is from a bridal

Etsy store but still, LOVE.

So what are craving this Fall? Anything I should know about to add to my crave list?



happy wednesday!

Back to Hollywood.

Oh Hollywood how I have missed you! I mean seriously I was getting the shakes my withdrawal was getting bad and I know my dear freaders missed knowing what ridiculousness had been happening in the past month and a half as well. Well friends, Hollywood Tuesday is back and with all sorts of goodies, so without further adieu:

• I mean of course yes I have to start this week's Hollywood goodness with my most favorite Hollywood bebes, Violet and Seraphina, and thier oh so freaking adorableness:
  
  
  
  Violet is a ballerina and my heart melts.
  
  
  lurve the mommy and meness.
  
  
  
• In other cute bebeness we have Heidi Klum her wittle bebe Lou, seriously she is my future child, haha.
  
  
  
  ashdaksjfh too cute for actual words.
  
  
  
• In other Hollywood bebeness, Barney Stinson is a dad! Seriously though Neil Patrick Harris and his partner are now dads to twins, congrats!...also new to the parents club, Alicia Keys and hubby Swizz Beats, they welcomed son Egypt (no comment) last week...in some not as fun news two major splits hit Hollywood last week, Courteney Cox and David Arquette and Christina Aguilera and Jason Bratman, let's just hope they all keep it civil since there are youngins involved...and in case you cared, despite saving a potential jumper's life last week T.I. is headed back to jail for another 11 months (basically stop effing up buddy)...Johnny Depp is a rockstar in case you didn't know, well more like a pirate star and this story just made my heart melt with the cuteness...all sorts of stars showed up for the Scream Awards over the weekend and yeah, nothing really else to say about that, haha...lastly and Michelle Williams decided to change up her hair quite a bit (going for the Agyness Deyn look I think) and I gotta say, I'm sort of a fan:
  
  
  
  work it girl.
  
  
  
• In some favorites news...
  Let's just say this is the most awesome news of EVER. NEWSIES IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE STAGE FOR REALS. Yes I tweeted this awhile ago and yes I am still that excited about it. I mean honestly how could I not be?? Have you seen the movie??? (I hope the answer is yes or else I will question our friendship).
  
  
  
  I'd like to remember Christian like this for always
  instead of like this more recently...ew.
  
  
  Also in favoriteness, the Gos lookin all rugged and cute (is it even possible to be both?) on the set of his new movie Drive:
  
  
  
  swooooon.
  
  
  
• For today's Twilight news we have...
  Breaking Dawn is about to start filming. Holy crap this movie is actually being made. I mean of course it was going to be made they weren't going to stop but after reading it I'm afraid, I really am. Nonetheless there have been some major casting announcements and looks like Louisiana is going to be hoppin with vampires and werewolves soon, oh boy.
  
  And just for funsies, here's Rob looking all Roblike:
  
  
  
  I'm all dark and mysterious and
  wearing a beanie and
  make girls swoon. clearly.
  
  
  
• In some music news...
  So I tweeted this a while back but Dead Man's Bones (aka Ryan Gosling's two man band) filmed a music video at my great aunt's nursing home and only recently did they release the video/mini movie. It's long but check it out anyways and my great aunt is in it at the two minute mark and a couple times after that, so schnazzy.
  
  "Whip My Hair". I mean what? Am I actually pointing you to this video? Yes, yes I am. Willow Smith is TEN and has a video and a catchy song and damn you Ben for ever linking to this.
  
  Also uber catchy, P!NK's new song "Raise Your Glass" and I realize how much I really like her music.
  
  
• In TV news...
  The Big Bang Theory. ZAZZY! That's all.
  
  Dexter. I'm finally on season 4 you guys and you weren't kidding when you said it was good. Seriously I have screamed no less than 5 times and said "ooooooh" more times than I can count (it's a good thing I watch this show by myself).
  
  Top Model. Do you have a favorite? I mean besides Tyra's ego because clearly she's the best, haha. But um I can't decide who I like besides the fact that I want to throw something every time Ann wins best picture because you know she's going to have a HORRIBLE Cover Girl commercial shoot (I'm putting bets on it now) so umm yes, better recaps are here of course.
  
  Glee. Um no PUCK? I think this has to be a lie. Yes it must. But still, this show still makes my musical loving heart happy. And I'm sort of excited for the Rocky Horror Picture Show episode (although I've never seen it, for shame I know).
  
  Criminal Minds. It really isn't the same without JJ and I love Garcia and I forget how much this show creeps me out and I love it at the same time, it's a little ridiculous.
  
  Grey's Anatomy. Okay I'm ready for Cristina Yang to be Cristina Yang again and Sloane and Lexie need to hook on up again already and Meredith is sort of likeable which I appreciate and Bailey is amazing and SHIRTLESS AVERY? YES PLEASE (I mean what?).
  
  The Mentalist. PATRICK JANE is amazing and a smart ass and has excellent hair. For those reasons you should also be watching this show, haha.
  
  
  
  he also reads, so clearly I'm sold, haha.
  
  
  
• Lastly in today's WTF news did you know that the Simpson family is Catholic? Yes the animated yellow family that's full of ridiculous has officially been declared Catholic from the head honchos over at the Vatican. I mean, what??
  

Ahh Hollywood it's so good to be back. So anything I missed? Let me know!




happy tuesday!

A Hollywood send off.

Well it's my last Hollywood post for a while so I better make it a good one right? And man I don't even know how I'll function not knowing what's going on in the Hollywood world! I mean what if Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger get married? Or Lindsay Lohan gets an emmy? Or Keanu Reeves stops by my office? So many things can happen in two weeks. But alas I'll be getting all married like and gallivanting in Italy so I can't really complain, I'll just have to be surprised when I get back. Anyhoozits, here we go!

• Starting out this week's super cuteness we have two of my favorite musical stars, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel, taking a stroll with their oh so adorable son Walker. I mean really? How is he that freaking cute???
  
  
  
  all sorts of cuteness!!
  
  
• And because I heart them so much and I'm going to miss posting Hollywood stuff that I have to post my favorite family of Hollywood. Seriously Ben, Jen and the girls are just all sorts of cuteness I'm pretty sure I said "awwwww" no less than six times when looking at all of the pictures.
  
  
  
  gah they are so precious!
  
  
  
• In other bebe news, Orlando Bloom is going to be a dad! His new wife and supermodel Miranda Kerr a are expecting a little one, yay!...Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer got hitched over the weekend, I really do love when people met on sets and fall in love, it's just so dreamy...before Katy Perry was wearing short shorts and candy bras she was taking glamour shots at the mall just like everyone else....ever wanted to know what Sean Penn in drag looks like? Well here's your chance, haha....so Fantasia tried to kill herself, sad I know, but it's going to be featured on her new VH1 show and her new CD comes out today, something is just so wrong about the timing of all of this...Rachel McAdams celebrated the wrap up of her latest movie and looks like she'd be fun to party with...and the cast of the Romantics looks like they had fun doing a J. Crew shoot...
  
  
  
  
  
  
• In some favoriteness...
  SAM WORTHINGTON. Oh wait did I write that in all caps? Why yes, yes I did, SAM gets caps. Anyhoozits, my fellow Hollywood lover Julie was on the lookout for me and tweeted this gem last week. This gem combining two of my favorite things Vampires and SAM. Basically SAM has signed on to play a young Dracula (as well as filming a sequel to Clash of the Titans) and that sounds pretty schnazzy to me. And just because here's Sam coming to LAX last week...
  
  
  
  he makes me swoon...
  but Matt makes me swoon more.
  
  

  Sandy! Looks like she is stepping on up in Hollywood and may be costarring in a movie with Tom Hanks soon. Nicely done lady, nicely done.
  
  
  Josh is back on the set of Fringe and I think I need to make a detour to Vancouver.
  
  
  
  why hey Josh, how you doing?
  
  
  
• In today's Twilightness....
  Stephenie Meyer made FORTY MILLION dollars this past year. And um she hasn't had to write anything in that time (not counting the Bree book) and just wow, can I be her please?
  
  And our boy Rob topped Glamour's 50 Sexiest males list. I mean yeah I could see that.
  
  
• In TV news...
  The Creative Emmy's were over the weekend and Betty White and NPH straight dominated, woo woo.
  
  
  
  yay NPH! congrats!
  
  
  Brothers and Sisters. Looks like the reverend is coming to Pasadena! Which reverend you ask? Only the bestest TV rev ever...REV CAMDEN! And he's a potential love interest for one of the Walkers...which one? Just read the article!
  
  Glee. In case you didn't know miss Brittney Spear herself is making a cameo on Glee this season (in an all Britt Britt episode) and one of the first pictures has already been released. And it's Britt and Britt and I lurve it!
  
  
  
  oooh la la.
  
  
  
• Lastly in today's WTF news we have a man that thought it would be a good idea to kill the bat in his home with a gun. No really, the man shot up his house while trying to kill a bat. Seriously people?
  
  

And that my friends is what's going on in Hollywood, anything I missed? Let me know! And stay awesome Hollywood, stay awesome.

  Michael C. Hall was on set of the new season of Dexter and I really shouldn't look since I'm only through two seasons, but man he is swoony.

• In music news...
  In case you didn't see my tweets, I got to interview the top 5 American Idol contestants from last season yesterday. The videos will be up later but I may or may not have developed a slight crush on all of them because they were just so dang funny and cute and did I mention funny? Yeah it was a great time all around and I just may be getting a hang of this whole interviewing thing.
  
  
• In movie news...
  So you know I just finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (wait you didn't? Um check out my reading page and you'll know what booked I'm currently trapped in) right? And apparently Hollywood is making it a movie (like that's a surprise, Sweden's already made a version I can't wait to watch) and has already cast Robyn Wright, Stellan Skaarsgard and Daniel Craig as lead characters and now the leading lady herself has been cast to someone relatively unknown.
  
  
• In TV news...
  GLEE! Seriously I can't wait for this show to come back. And although there are going to be a million and a half guest stars I do love that we'll be meeting Sue's mom played by Carol Burnett!

happy wednesday!

Wave hello Hollywood.

Why hello there Hollywood Tuesday, how are you today? Fine? Yes I thought so.

• Starting out this week's cuteness we have little Levi McConaughey rocking a new do and walking his dog (that's almost as big as he is!) and is just all sorts of adorable:
  
  
  
  aw he's so wittle and cute.
  
  
  
• Also bringing in some MAJOR CUTENESS is my favorite trio of ladies, Jennifer Garner with little Violet and Seraphina! Seriously they are just all sorts of freaking precious!
  
  
  
  Jen is super mom and the
  girls are super cute!
  
  
  
• In other bebe news Liam McDermott, Tori Spelling's three year old son, has a twitter account, and it's sort of ridiculous and sort of cute...also in bebe news, Vince Vaughn and his wife are expecting a little one and I really hope he says "earmuffs" when it's born, haha...in non-baby news, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem got hitched in secret (seriously how does anyone in Hollywood do it?), congrats to them...also in secret, Jewel doing karaoke, seriously just watch the video it's awesome...the first images of Ryan Reynolds as the green lantern came out and I'm slightly intrigued...and apparently Jaden Smith is channeling Erykah Badu these days.
  
  
• In some favorites news...
  WE HAVE A SAM SIGHTING! Okay I sound creepy, but really. I had a Sam crush and then he went away and all I had was Avatar and Terminator and in neither of those movies does he stay fully human, haha.
  
  
  
  what a mighty big bag you have Sam.
  
  
  And not only is there a Sam sighting, but a Josh sighting as well. And he's in a suit! Oooh la la.
  
  
  oh you are just so dapper and suave
  and awww swoonface.
  
  
  
• And in today's Twilight news....
  First off we have Taylor looking so suave riding a motorcycle on the set of his newest movie, Abduction. I mean seriously, how is he only 18?? because sheesh.
  
  
  
  why hello there!
  
  
  Also on set of his latest film, Water for Elephants, is Rob looking so dapper in a tux (seriously he should wear one more often).
  
  
  
  this might be your best look Rob,
  minus the cig.
  
  
  
• In movie news...
  One for the Money. So I am still bummed about Katherine Heigl playing Stephanie Plum but now we know who will be playing Lula! Sherri Sheppard. Hmmm. I'm not sure how I feel about this either. I guess I pictured Lula as being fuller and having more sass, hopefully Sherri can pull it off ( I'm assuming she's Lula otherwise she's just another prostitute, I'm not quite sure).
  
  And OHMYGOODNESS WE HAVE A RANGER. Apparently some of the cast is on Imdb and RANGER is cast. And it's this man, not too shabby. But um he definitely needs to bulk up a bit a la Taylor Lautner to hit Ranger status (also I'm a huge nerd right now).
  
  WAIT UP A SECOND WE HAVE A MORELLI TOO!?! Seriously how is Sherri Sheppard bigger news than the casting of the main guys!? I mean really Hollywood, come on now. Anyhoo apparently Jason O'Mara, Life on Mars alum, will be Morelli and I do not endorse this. I mean he doesn't even look Italian! Ah Hollywood how you hurt me.
  
  
• In TV news...
  The Hills. So I didn't watch the finale but I read Oh Hay, It's KK's review and that was all I needed. Well that and I watched the actual ending because it was just so dramatic, and yeah I thought it was fitting. And I saw some pics on PopSugar and yeah, pretty typical attendees minus the blondies I will not name but Lauren, as always looked loverly, heart her (heart her so much I actually just got her book from the library, for shame, I know, ridiculous).
  
  
  
  heart her.
  
  
  
  Dexter. As you know, I've watched too many episodes in a short amount of time and my goodness it's good. But I'm glad I waited to hop on the bandwagon so I didn't have to wait (I'm bad at waiting).
  
  
• Lastly in today's WTF news we have the trailer for the SyFy original movie Sharktopus, because um it's a movie about a shark/octopus hybrid and seriously who thinks up this shiz? And seriously Julia Roberts brother is in it and um, just wow.
  

So anything I missed? Let me know!



happy tuesday!

I am so amused and quite easily.

As you all know, I am quite easily amused (heck I have a label titled "i'm easily amused") and lately there have been several things making me chuckle on a regular basis that you should probably know about if you don't already.

The newest Kia Soul commercial. Um I don't even care about the car, but for some reason, rapping hamsters is the key to my soul (ba dum ching) because this commercial makes me laugh every time it's on TV.

The Big Bang Theory. Yes I keep talking about this show, but ohmygoditsamazing. Basically when I get hooked on something new, I'm hooked for good (hello The Mentalist, Twilight mania, apples and cheese, etc). Matt and I just finished Season 2 and I cannot wait for Season 3 to be on DVD or Season 4 to start up in the Fall because this show always has me laughing. And in case you don't believe me check out this Christmas episode snippet and the ball pit, two of my most favorite scenes. (Also, Jim Parsons interview on Craig Ferguson...LOVE IT...Ding Dong!)

Wipeout. People that aren't me falling down and making asses of themselves? Sure. It makes me laugh. (also, how weird is it that I wrote a post about this show almost two years ago?? clearly my maturity level has not risen since then)

Okay so I know I said several things but that's just three and three isn't really several but just go with it okay? Awesome. They're funny right? Or I'm just ridiculous, either one works. So what's making you giggle lately? Don't be selfish, share the smiles people! :)




happy thursday!

Busyish Relaxingish Awesomeness.

Oh what a wonderful weekend indeed, seriously it was a good combination of busy and lazy and I just loved it. So shall we break it down? Here we go!

Friday: After work my sister and Matt came and picked me up and we were on our way to see my favorite band, O.A.R. in concert!!! Seriously I love them and their music and just ah all around. Pretty much we got great spots at the Wiltern and just hung out and watched the great openener, A.L.O. (yes it was the night of acronym bands). The only major downer was at the very end of the opening act Matt got hit in the head with a camera. Yes, like an actual video camera filming the show on a big beam and everything came down and hit Matt directly on the head. I freaked out and went and got people to come look at his head and Matt tried to be all manly and say it didn't hurt, but it did. Luckily the rest of the show went on without any additional injury although Matt's head did hurt a bit.

love them.

way to smile through the pain Matt.

heyyyyy girrrrrl.

All in all it was a great show and I'm so glad O.A.R. came to LA and they are welcome back any time!

Saturday: Slept in a bit before going with my mom and my friend Katrina to try on my wedding dress!!! It wasn't actually a fitting since they suggest I don't do that until July but I really wanted to just see the dress and try it on and ohmygod you guys I'm still in love. My dress is so classy and elegant and ah! Love it. And the most amazing thing was that it was actually big (especially in the bust! so unheard of for me, haha). Pretty much the dress is great and my shoes look good with it and I cannot wait to put it on again and again!

After hanging out a bit with my mom and Katrina I came home and relaxed for a couple hours and caught up on the DVR before heading out with Matt to my aunt and uncle's house for a nice night together. My aunt and uncle treated Matt and I to dinner and a movie as a belated birthday gift and it was so fun! We had a pretty laid back dinner before heading to Gold Class to see Iron Man 2. The movie was pretty good, the atmosphere was awesome and it was just a good night all around. After the movie we hung for a bit, watched some Big Bang Theory and just had a good time. Pretty much a wonderful night.

Sunday: Slept in again (oh how I love sleep) and woke up realizing I had nothing to do. So with that I decided to watch some TV and then reinstall the Sims on my computer. Pretty much I knew it was a bad idea but I couldn't help it. I love the Sims. Whenever I start playing I play for hours, days at a time and ah, I get addicted (like that's a surprise...) So yeah I did that for a couple hours before I went walking with my mom at the Rose Bowl. After walking Matt and I headed over to my parent's house for dinner which was fun and then ultimately ended the night at home playing the Sims and watching TV and drinking wine, aka a win, haha.

So yes, it was a loverly busyish/relaxingish weekend and I lurved it.

And how was your weekend?

happy monday!

Fangirl freakout.

So although my Top Ten lists have sort of been halted, let me share with you the order of my musical loves.

1. Craig David. (duh).
2. O.A.R.

Let's just stop there because ohmygod I love O.A.R. I mean when Craig and I were on a break (ie when he didn't come to the US for seven years!) O.A.R. became my favorites. So basically let's just say they're in a tie with Craig. Anyways, I heart them. Big time. I've seen them six different times in four different states and I've loved each and every time. Although last year's concert may have been the best because it was at Club Nokia and I got to meet Marc, the lead singer, after the show, so yeah that was nice.

So when I got an email yesterday telling me that O.A.R. had tacked on an LA show to their summer tour (that was originally East Coast/Midwest only) next Friday at the Wiltern, I bought my tickets in less than five minutes and then proceeded to tweet this:

Needless to say I freaked out, texted my sister and Matt and wrangled them into coming with me and got all sorts of giddy. But it didn't stop there. I then decided that I should start prepping and listen to O.A.R. all day and then tweeted this:

And a couple hours later when I got back from lunch I was surprised to see this in my twitter feed:

UM SAY WHAT!? O.A.R. responded to me! And they thanked me. And I may have fangirl freaked out a bit because um that's just awesome. And yes it's just twitter but I know that Ali and Ben will at least appreciate this twitter response, right? right?

So pretty much that made my day and I cannot wait to see them in concert next Friday (want to come too? Buy tickets here!) and it will truly feel like summer and ah! Heartface!!

Also, if you don't know their music. You should. Like stat. Check out their site here. Also, you should probably know "Hey Girl" and "Crazy Game of Poker" and "Love and Memories" because they're all sorts of amazing. Okay? Thanks.





happy wednesday!
