Wish You Were Here on prominent display at Urban Outfitters in Chicago, IL. Lil’ Farro and lil’ Williams were the bestest.

Hayley’s used to rocking the stage, but I think this is her first time with an ink gun. She’s so punk-even though she may (or may not) have bought a Jonas Brothers tote later that night.Ĭareful, Oliver. I was lucky enough to witness Miss Hayley getting some new ink. Gwen, why are you so pretty? And why are your abs so intimidating? I mean, homeboy’s got a point but that’s one tush I never want to see. Paramore’s backdrop was bitchin’-and that’s not just because I’m a sucker for newspaper chic. There’s nothing like the feeling of sporting an All-Access pass. It’s the first thing I’ve scribbled for the mag I left my post as managing editor back in March 2008 and I was nervous beyond belief thankfully, the band went out of their way to make me feel like a part of the Para-crew. was to join up with the bestest band evs- Paramore!!-and follow them for a couple days as part of an upcoming Alternative Press story written by yours truly. Since the keyboard cat is sort of out of the bag, my initial departure from L.A. Feel free to go to the kitchen and grab a snack ’cause this could take a while. Not too shabby!Ĭonsidering I’ve been gone from the blogsphere for a while, I thought I’d take you through a lil’ tour of my travels. This time it’s my bestie Lesley, who I’ve known since I was two, and I’m the maid of honor. My body chemistry is waaaaay off and while my travels were waaaaay worth the internal strife, truth be told, I’m happy to be home for the next three weeks-until I hoof it back to Cleveland to visit with my fam and participate in yet another wedding. I blame it on the geography-more specifically, the fact that over the past four weeks, I’ve been in five different states and every time zone that exists in these here United States. (What a visual!) Needless to say, it was tres painful. I swear, it was like an alien was trying to soldier through the lobes in my brain and cut into my skull using a dull knife. After fending off a killer migraine yesterday, I’m finally feeling close to human again.
