My 2011 Year in Review
January:
01/01-Ringing in the new year in San Francisco atop the Fisherman's Wharf/ Pier 39 rooftop, watching the fireworks and seeing all the crowds of obnoxious drunks. Then using wayyy too many munis, busses, and trains to try to get back home. Oh yeah and it was raining.
01/21-MY 20th birthday. First show of the year, headed over to Reno, NV [ University of Reno] to be exact. And reunited with an old friend, Robie! Watched The Maine perform at his school and good hangs after. Also, milkshakes at Awful, Awful. Then after driving back to the hotel my iphone falls to the parking lot floor and smashes the front screen to a milion pieces.
01/23-Stay an extra night in The World's Biggest Little Town, and catch the Pierce The Veil [Miss May I & Silverstein] show at the Knitting club. Let me say, one of the greatest shows ever. On top of that, getting to meet Vic, Mike, & Tony.
January is also the month I started my internship with Buzznet! So shoutouts to Bree, for recruiting me [via facebook, of all places], and letting me into the world of Buzz. ;)
It was also my first encounter with Whole Foods. Thanks Reno, NV for so many experiences.
February:
Random Beach outings. Here in California [the Bay Area to be exact], you never know when you'll get nice warm weather, and yes our Medditerranean climate, gave us perfect weather in February, and so we took advantage by heading to Santa Cruz.
March:
Don't really remember what happened in March, but I know I went to the Glamour Kills tour stop in San Francisco, and that morning my sister urged me to go to the mall in Tanforan, and We Are The In Crowd did an acoustic set. Twas fun and spontaneous.
It was also the first time I ever saw WATIC, The Downtown Fiction, and All Star Weekend Live.
April:
Flew into SoCal for the Dirty Work Tour stop in Anaheim, CA, then visited some family.
Went to Hollywood, and stopped at all the touristy spots, here's the El Capitan "Disney" theater.
Being a music video buff, had to go to Santa Monica Pier and ride the roller coaster [that they shot, Victorious "Freak the Freak Out", Boys Like Girl's "Love Drunk", and P!ATD/FOB's "Headslide first in to Cooperville/ Weekend At Pete Rose's".
Made a last minute Spring Break stop in Vegas, and chilled Poolside until some bozo spilled a cocktail in the pool and endagered the kids.
Also, the boys in A Rocket To The Moon had their first ever HEADLINING tour! The On Your Side Tour, the proudness in the room could be felt by all.
May:
Wondercon!!!!!! THrough my internship at CMC, I got to get my friends in at Wondercon, whcih I thought would be awesome like the world acclaimed San Diego's COmic Con. But it was more like a really organized swap meet. Needless to say, it was 'meh'.
June:
Mid-June embarked on a Pacific-Northwest Adventure! Went to Seattle, and yeah the link above pretty much explains it all WITH PICTURES!
Random hangs with the friends before they moved to NYC.
Oh yeah did I mention I got to catch The Maine on their tour with Augustana whilst in Seattle? Ohyeah and Austin Gibbs.
Upon coming home, also got to catch the P!ATD show last minute, also twas my first time ever being able to see P!ATD! Yes my inner middle-schooler was FLABBERGHASTED.
July:
July 4th in Santa Cruz again. Drove home around 6pm and caught fireworks on the freeway.

Finally saw Blink-182 in concert. And yes believe the hype, it was amazing.
MCR, fulfilled my 7th grade dream, and finally saw MCR. LOVE LOVE LOVE them.
