I'm a voracious thrifter, music aficionado, heathen, and owner of a 1984 Westfalia Vanagon. I'm a writer and a designer, but mostly just a secret cat lady. Vanagon Champion is about all of these things with a little bit of thrifty goodness and old-fashioned magic for good measure. Learn more about me here.

Something like heaven.
I have returned. Much to the chagrin of my morale, I might add.
I'm tired. Sleep wasn't quite an option on this 3-day road trip, but it was worth it. Tremendously worth it.
I don't yet have time to expound on the details. My lunch break is only so long. Plus, I want to stop and really think about the words I'll use to describe such a mind-blowing experience. Also, I hate play-by-play vacation blogs, so give me a little bit of time to adequately determine a meaningful yet interesting way to tell you of my travels.
Until then, let's just pretend for a moment that two of my favorite musical influences unite. Let's pretend they walk on the same stage and play an outstanding song. Together. Let's just pretend those two musicians happen to be Belle & Sebastian and Jenny Lewis--my two longstanding stalwarts of sheer musical bliss. We're talking literally my two favorite bands that I have loved and cherished for years and years and years.
Hmm....what if I told you that really did happen?
And I was there.
I honestly almost cried when this happened. Tears. Welling in my eyes. Not even a joke.
Sigh. If only I could relive this show.
I'll be back tonight with full details and pictures. And more videos for you B&S fans out there.

Reason:

If I had to create some sort of spectrum to rate this show, I probably would tell you to suck it because this was easily EASILY the best show of my life.
Expect full deets tomorrow via pics and videos. Also, please note my life is complete. Should we not make it home due to a firey westy crash, I would die happy.
See you tomorrow.
