An act of flagrant stupidity.

I've never seen The Decemberists in concert before, and they are by far my favorite band in the whole world. The last time they were on tour, they had to cancel due to illness. I was totally crushed when I got that email. At that moment, I vowed that I would see them at the next available opportunity.

Unfortunately for me, the concert closest to campus is in a really unsafe area of Philadelphia. My mom told me I couldn't go alone, and I couldn't find anyone on campus who was willing to go with me because no one around here really likes the Decemberists except for me. (Losers!)

For some stupid reason probably having to do with raging hormones and an underdeveloped cerebral cortex, I got on the bus today, went to the mall, and bought a ticket to the concert. I'll be going alone tomorrow, in the dark, venturing into a city that I have no familiarity with.

I am a pretty big idiot, but I absolutely couldn't help myself!
