Tiny Cities Made of Ashes (If Only She Knew)

I just discovered that Modest Mouse will be in concert July 26th at the Filmore (I saw Train there last summer, and it's a pretty cool venue). Unfortunately, that's the day that we leave for our family reunion. AGH! What terrible luck. I mentioned it to my Mom, hoping that perhaps she would say, "oh, you can go to the concert then meet us in Estes Park the next day!" She told me that I need to save money for a new car, tuition, and other expenses, and that I can't miss any of the reunion. Oh well. Someday I'll be autonomous . . . I hope. At least I'll get to see O.A.R. on Saturday the 24th (insert screams of joy here).
