Untouchable is something to be...

This Friday, I'll hop the Red Line and head north for a chance to head south--back to my younger, more innocent days. Back to the days when I was untouchable. Safe from the sometimes harsh realities of adulthood.

I'll return to Chicago's sweetheart venue, the Metro, to see Against Me! headline with Lemuria and Screaming Females, to see what is sure to be a sweaty and emotive performance.

The timing couldn't be more perfect. A year into my semi-adult life. A year since I shed naive sensibilities and headed with tentative faith into the future. This evening will offer up a celebratory toast. For both a girl and a band. A tribute to the innocence lost and to the inspiration gained from our younger, revolutionary selves.
