Made a trek to San Francisco this weekend, where I went to a birthday celebration for my friend Annette. We saw The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at the Post Theatre, and I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was.

So good! (Good enough to make me blog about it after a month and a half!)

Ouch: Urge has nice features, but it's no iTunes.
