Well, today has actually been a rather shitty one, with me having to admit to some of my biggest insecurities, challenges, and fears. However, it has also been pretty great in a splendidly dorky fashion.
If you know me at all, you know I'm Tristan Prettyman's biggest fan. No, I am not a stalker. I totally don't have a restraining order or anything like that. A friend drug me, kicking and screaming, to a Jason Mraz show 10-ish years ago and who was opening for him? A girl who sang about smitten kittens...and being void...and evaporated...and kinda just wanting your kiss. While I'm pretty void and evaporated these days, the last one was totally me back then. I was a serial make-out-er and kind of miss those days. Anyway, it was a great EP and I listened to it non-stop after the show for months. Fast forward 10-ish years and I've lost it. It's not available on iTunes, her website, or in stores.
Well...guess who found it? That would be me. While reading her blog today...aka avoiding work...I found a post from months ago about having extra cd's for sale. I flew out of my comfort zone and emailed her (gasp!) to see if she had any left. She does! Yay! My copy (one of the last two she has) will be on its way shortly! AND - the dorkiest part? She responded back to my last email to tell me that my email signature is amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I stole the inspiration for my signature from my brother, but he doesn't read this - or email her - so I'll be taking credit this time.
Yes, that's super dorky, I know...but it's also nice to know that Crystal and I aren't the only two people in the country that think Socialists are sexy.
Also amazing - her new song. Check it out.
Say Anything - Tristan Prettyman
