• I Miss You

  I do.

  You know what else I miss? College. If I can get myself out of debt and save for a house, I am SO going back to college.

  Tomorrow morning I am going to be waiting out in the cold for a couple hours, to get the most anticipated CD of the year…. the Cities 97 CD Sampler. Last year I didn’t get one… but this year I WILL, damnit! The track listing is out there, but I want it to be a surprise. Well, I just looked. Oh well, it’s okay

  Read more about it HERE.

  Or, I can tell you about it. So when artists like John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, David Gray, Lifehouse, Brandi Carlile, and more come to the cities for concerts, they sometimes stop into Studio C, which is the Cities 97 recording studio. The have a small audience and they do a live interview and unique, acoustic performances of their music. Then every year in November, Cities 97 makes a CD with some of the performances from the past year from Studio C. They make them in limited quantities and they are only sold at Target stores in the metro area.

  Target opens at 8am, and that’s when they sell the CD. In recent years, you have to camp out at Target and wait in line or else you won’t get a copy, it sells out that fast. Last year the Target I went to sold out in 3 minutes. Customers are limited to 2 copies, and pretty much immediately the CD sells on eBay for 2 and 3 times the original price (I think it’s like $24). But anyway, all the proceeds of the CD sales go to local charities, so it’s for a good cause.

  I am super excited to wait in line in the cold…hahaha. I will dress warm, no worries. Anyways. I have to get to sleep because I’m tired and I have to leave early in the morning… I will let everyone know of my adventures tomorrow!!
