 Summer is everywhere. It's in the air, in the sun, in the way you think, act and talk. Every day is perfect with just the right amount of carefree emotion, wind blown hair and summer jams.

Annie Clark performed right in front of me, just for me, and it was everything I needed. The whole night was so incredibly dreamy and surreal as Annie flawlessly shredded on her guitar and sang so beautifully your heart practically stopped right then and there. 

Champagne Year just took my breath away, Year of the Tiger was such hardcore perfection, and Annie became my hero during Surgeon. But I don't think you can get any more punk rock and perfect than moshing with Annie during Krokodil, screaming the lyrics with the whole crowd, and afterwards chanting her name for an encore. Annie has left a huge imprint on my life.

I don't know what I would be doing with myself if it weren't for Summer's perfectly timed arrival. I certainly wouldn't be spending my days listening to so many good summery tunes, cruising with the windows down, skating all afternoon, and bathing in the sun while sitting on the dock talking of everything. Most importantly I wouldn't be feeling this flawless freedom that there are endless possibilities. Possibilities like going to New York City for a week in June.
