This Weekend in the People’s Republic
How many people feel like moving in this weather? Not I! I can’t believe that I’ve been able to get to classes this week!
If I can get out of the house for that pesky thing known as school, y’all should be able to get out for the huge range of right and relevant culture to be had this weekend. GET THEE OUTSIDE!!
By the way. Here’s my tune of the moment, to fit the winter-y mood. It’s a cover, but that banjo’s killer!!
