Small world!

So two really crazy coincidences happened this week. One, I bumped into an Earlham student! I saw her in the tube and we ended up talking for a good 15 minutes. I think it's crazy that I can run into people I know in a city this huge.

The second thing was pretty cool too. Last night my friends and I went to a random pub. We didn't know at the time that they had a small back room with a stage, or that a free concert was happening that night. But when we heard the cover band start, we wandered back there to listen. When the second band, Outside Royalty, came on, we realized that they were from America... what tipped me off was when they played a song called "Ohio." After the concert, we went up to the band and asked where they were from (this wasn't difficult as there were only about 20 people in the audience). The lead singer is from Ohio, and the drummer is from the same town in Pennsylvania as my friend Emily! It was great to meet fellow Americans and to familiar accents. And besides that, the concert was really good!! They're even going on tour with the Cranberries... yes, The Cranberries.

Actually that photo is of the cover band, Monkeyfinger... not sure why but I didn't take any pictures of Outside Royalty. It was such a cute venue though! Here's the Outside Royalty fan site:

Cheerio!
