I can't believe you got tickets to that show! You're going to have an amazing time. We saw them last summer at the outdoor venue downtown, and the energy was just incredible. I've been trying to find a recording of the setlist they played that night, but no luck so far. Let me know if you want to grab a coffee or a drink beforehand next week. I'm free pretty much any evening after 6. Just shoot me a text when you figure out what day works best for you. Oh, also, remind me to tell you about the weird thing that happened at the grocery store last weekend. It's not really a big deal, just one of those funny stories that makes you shake your head. Anyway, enjoy the concert prep and don't stress about finding a parking spot too early—we found a great lot a couple of blocks away last time that was super cheap and had plenty of space. Also I finally fixed my bicycle chain so I can start riding to work again which will be a nice change of pace.

Hey, have you started that new book series everyone is talking about? I just finished the second one and I have so many theories about where the story is going next. I tried to explain the plot to my partner and they just looked at me completely lost. I guess you really have to read it to get it. Let me know if you want to borrow my copy of the first one, I can drop it off over the weekend. We should also plan that hike we talked about last month. The weather is finally getting nice enough for it. There's a trail about an hour north that has this beautiful waterfall at the halfway point. It's not too strenuous, maybe four miles round trip, so it's perfect for a lazy Saturday morning. We can pack a picnic and make a day of it. Let me know what you think! I'm also thinking about adopting a cat from the local shelter. They have so many friendly kittens right now. I've been watching their Instagram page and it's hard not to want to take them all home. I'll probably go visit them this weekend to see which one has the best personality. Wish me luck!
