Best weekend in such a long time. Such a long time.
I love music. I love the music i love. It dominates my life. I carry my iPod from home to car, car to home. I gave up on kids music years ago.
Yesterday when i told tristan we were going to see band of horses she said "oh, i love them - you're so lucky!"
I did feel lucky. I haven't been out to a show (other than shane's band) for ten years. It felt like no time had passed. There were still people i knew. New friends to meet (Ada and Andrea and my UVic friend.)
Women who have shared my life with me. Meeting them in person.
Hearing the music that i listened to in my hospital bed.
It was amazing. It was, cliche as it sounds, life changing.
When they played the songs that have been the soundtrack to my life i very nearly wept. I wanted to fall down and cry the tears. The tears that have been waiting. Waiting inside me. Listening to them sung so loudly, so beautifully. It was nearly too much.
And then we wandered the streets of victoria. No curfew. Nothing. We walked and we talked.
It was the most perfect evening i can remember. I am so thankful that there are bands like Band of Horses.
Beautiful music.

Hi Jess, It was really great to see you (and meet you) at the show. I think my boyfriend got a little sick of hearing how cool it was that you recognized me and came over to chat. I would have never guessed that you hadn't been to a show in 10 years. So, happy you were there - such a great night! ~Beth
