Hi :) My name is Melanie. I am a photographer for Penn State's online blog, Onward State. I also have my own portrait business. I love music more than anything. Love's completely real, so forget everything that you have heard.

Summer, comeee backkk!

Thu Jul 16, 2009, 8:33 PM
I go back to school in 5 weeks. And I'm not complaining--I love PSU. I work all the time, but I somehow have spent a lotttt of money this summer. Which doesn't entirely make sense to me. I suppose vacation ate up a good bit of money. Other than that--gas. I swear I spend the most money on gas. I'm also rather generous with my friends who don't have so much money. I spent $125 on a band I booked at Hot Topic. Bought them new strings and food. Yeahhhh. I'm too nice. I thought I'd be making more money at my waitressing job--but I hardly get hours. I never thought about the whole "getting cut" thing. Sucks. I'm debating whether I want to start bartending at PSU. I think I'd love it. But idk if I could handle it with all of my other stuff going on.
On the bright side: I got my new SB600 =] LOVE it.
I'm photographing All Time Low, Cartel, and We the Kings tomorrow at Sand Castle. So, my friends Taylor, Jill, and myself are going to Sand Castle during the day. I'm alllll about the lazy river. haha.
Arts Fest last weekend was amazing. But it made me even more depressed, because it was the last time I'd be with all of those friends. Literally. Sucks.
Too late. Need to wake up to work out. Getting fat. Wah :(

Sorry about filling up your inbox with numerous favorite notices... but I'm kind of obsessed with your gallery.... the TSC part, at least. Such awesome pictures!

hahaha. It's cool. I'm good friends with the guys. They're great. I wish my camera didn't die last show. That was very unfortunate.

I haven't had the chance to see them yet. I should start paying attention to their visits. I hear about their shows a few days after they were here by friends who KNOW how much I want to see them... Not all that great, but oh well. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another show in the city.

They aren't touring right now. I booked them in April at PSU for a big music festival. That's what those last pics of them are from. They are incredible live. The first time I saw them was in...2004? And they blew my mind.

I know they aren't touring right now... I hope they start up again soon, though. I've heard they are amazing live, so I definitely am going to be looking if another tour starts up soon!
