I'm coming clean.

I'm at the Motion City Soundtrack signing at Looney Tunes in Long Island. All the proceeds are a benefit for the record store, which recently burned down.

Jesse called me at work, and lo and behold I could get off early! I literally ran to Penn Station and crumpled into his arms panting on the train. Just in time.

I hovered between the two aisles of the collector toy store while they signed. Also, a 12-year-old boy had an iPhone. Jealz. Somebody brought pixie stix. Jesse proceeded to throw them at me. Long drive in the van back to Brooklyn.

He's gone tomorrow and I've got to get every bit out of the few hours left.

Six weeks is a long time.
