Giving blood

Ah, Vampire Weekend.
They put on a good show this past Saturday at the SummerStage.
It was a bit of a sacrifice to see them, though they didn't take our blood.
We did get quite soaked several times. It's funny that we haven't learned one of the basic rules of being a NYer:
Never leave home without an umbrella.
It was a bit crazy. When we got there at 4, I walked for 5-10 mins and never saw the end of the line. So Emily and I decided to wait outside of the fence. It began to pour and seemed to not let up for like an hour. We decided to throw in the towel (which we wish we had) and headed for the subway, Once we got there we waited and warmed up a bit. By that time it had stopped raining so we said, heck we made it this far, and headed back. When we go there we saw that the line wasn’t that long and got in it since Vampire Weekend hadn’t taken the stage yet. At 6 they took the stage and started their first number as we were let in.

They were very entertaining. It was really fun until it began to pour again and were got re-soaked to the bone. We left quite the puddle under us on the N ride home.

The only casualty, we thought, was my cell phone. But now it works, except for the screen.
