The Year in Pictures-August

When I think back, it seems that all of the summer months were pretty eventful. A few events from August, 2005 stand-out. I got to have an interesting conversation with Mike Gordon (which in later months would prove to be relatively un-eventful, but at the time seemed insane), I went out on a lot of bad dates, I started spending time with my biggest crush ever (who also happens to be my current boyfriend), I went to some National's (EXPOS) games and got a ton of random phonecalls from random Phish-heads. But, of all of the events that took place in August (and quite possibly all of the events that took place in 2005, period) there is one weekend that will forever stick out in my mind, that weekend being the one where my friends from Umphrey's McGee came to town (for the full story of why that weekend was so memorable, click here). Suprisingly (or rather not suprisingly, depending on who you ask), the weekend just got crazier from there. A conversation that will always stick out in my head went something like this:

Rook: So, um, I've got something important I need to talk to you about, and its sort of weird, cause I don't want to be that girl...
Bayliss: Okay. [pauses and looks at me strange] What's up?
Rook: Yeah, I was really sort of hoping you could play "Let it Bleed" for me tonight.
Bayliss: Rook, you already asked me that last night.
Rook: I did?
Bayliss: Yes.
Rook: Oh. Well, you should play it.
Bayliss: I'll see if I can make it happen.

I never did get my "Let it Bleed". But the look on Bayliss' face when I told him I had something important I needed to talk to him about was priceless. I think he was waiting for me to profess my love to him... As if! Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos!
