the 51st state just entered the union

Here's a moment:
G and I are having family time with her brother, P. I'm sitting here on the couch, typing away and listening to music, and G is folding laundry. I decide to start looking up tickets to the Avett Brothers because this thingy pops up on my blog when the video finishes saying that I can win tickets, which would be SWELL because then I wouldn't have to pay. Even better.

So I am on the Avett Brothers website, looking up potential tour dates, and it looks like they're playing in Hunter, NY for "Mountain Jam." That's in the Catskills, friends. Actually it sounds really cool.

So I say, "Hey, G, wanna go to Mountain Jam?"

She goes, "HA! That sounds like it's in West Carolina."

We all stare at her, and she collapses in a fit of laughter. P goes, "Is that near East Virginia? North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, West Carolina. Yep, sounds about right."

Here's to Mountain Jam. Camping + plaid + good music + mountains? Sign me up.
