Soulmates in the (NEW YORK) City

You should know by now that Abbie/Abigail Loveall and I are soulmates (see photo below from December 1, 2012).

That gingery blur in the background is me. Obviously.

So, back in July when we found out one of our favorite bands (discovered together at True/False Film Festival) was having their farewell concert in New York City on Thursday, November 19, it was only right that we be there together. Flights were scheduled, plans were made and sleeping arrangements (friends) were called...

We did a horrible job of taking photos. Was there ever a place where you feel more in everyone's way than New York City? Well, we did...often. So there was some valuable photo-taking time that we lost to moving quickly and shuffling around. And that's just how it goes sometimes. Here are all the photos. If you aren't all that interested--FINE--this is mostly for my mom anyway.

And that's a wrap! We had a great time even though we stayed out a little too late and slept in a little too long. Thank you again to Richard and Teagan for putting us up for a couple nights and giving us the locals tour. I can't wait to visit again!!
