thank goodness for vicarious experiences!

So, like thousands of other knowledgeable New Yorkers yesterday, we celebrated this great nation's b-day by heading down to Battery Park and checking out the Feelies/Sonic Youth show. Incredibly, we'd managed to go this long without ever seeing Sonic Youth live, and it was well worth the wait. They played "Bull in the Heather" straight off the back, and Kim Gordon just transpired amazing coolness the whole way through. Although, we must say the best part of the whole day was watching Coco Gordon Moore eat jellybeans backstage while nonchalantly watching her parents blow a couple thousand people's minds onstage. Did that sounds kind of creepy? Whatever, it was amazing.
