On the road again...

Jeremy and I have been on the road since 5pm Thursday. After stopping at Riffe's, Sabrina's, The New River Grill, and Jennie's we got on the road finally around 9:30pm. We drove all night to CT...no traffic, no trouble...straight shot. It only took us eleven hours as opposed to the usual fourteen!
We arrived at Cleo at 7am on Friday. Jerm and I passed out on the couch watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I woke up to one of my best friends Molly Dill, and we spent the day catching up and enjoying each others company. Around 7:30pm we headed over to Sully's (in Hartford) to check out the venue and say hello to Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. We grabbed some pizza at Lena's then headed home till the show started.The drummer scootered over to the house to chill for a bit, before heading back to Sully's for the show. But when we got there it became the dragon show would just be impossible...too small a venue with too many people! We were bummed, but it was ok since Pigeons came back to Cleo after the show and we got to chill!
We spent Saturday at my dad's, relaxing and recovering from the craziness of the two days previous. It was a great break before Sunday: Trinity Graduation.
The weather on Sunday was gorgeous ! It was sunny and bright and very very hot! We headed out to the Trin quad for the actual graduation ceremony around noon. It was long, but nice...and then we headed down to tent city to celebrate. A huge congratulations to all of my Cleo grads, and friends: Molly Dill, Chau Pham, Hannah Kaneck, Will Moffit, Queyn Tran, Terri Incampo, Dippi, Timmy, Elsie, and everyone else!
We headed back to the house and Eric (Gengar) Robinson and his friend Ricky came out to DJ for the Graduation Party RCP produced for Molly and Timmy. They're great guys and very talented DJs. Found them through the Festival Artists Collective! This was the second show they've played at Cleo, the first being Spring Break Blowout.
After not and incredible amount of sleep Molly and I headed out to Canton to meet up with my mother and sister, then well headed to Torrington for my wedding dress fitting. It's an incredibly gorgeous dress,but it definitely needed some alterations. It was too long, and almost impossible to shorten (for reasons I don't want to get into so as to not give away too many details)...the moral of the story being...I can't wear crocs for the wedding. Super. Frowny. Face. I have to wear actually pretty tall wedges, which spurred and very frantic, very silly emergency shoe store visit. Blah, but the dress is gorgeous. The seamstress is a slightly crazy, very funny, very Italian, little old lady...and she's a character.
We grabbed lunch after the fitting then Molly and I headed back to Cleo. Probably headed home to dads later, but for now I'm just relaxing. These trips are always just exhausting!
