get ready!

Last night Janelle and I had a West Philly night in honor of our impending move.

First, we drove by our new house. There was a some squealing and grabbing of knees in excitement.

Next, we went to the Satellite. We said things like, "Soon we'll be hanging out here ALL THE TIME!"

We dropped fliers off at the Green Line (great coffee and down the block from our new home).

Other awesome stuff near our house: Abyssinia (best Ethiopian food), a movie theatre, numerous restaurants, a record store (Marvelous), and a fancy pants grocery store. So different from Port Richmond!

And trees! Trees everywhere! Cool old houses! Hippies! Yes!!!

Then we hung out in front of a frat house. An endless stream of toga-clad young adults walked by. This seemed to good to be true.

We dropped more fliers off at the Spinto Band show at the Church.

Then Janelle made vegan pizza at her apartment while I drank her last beer and did yoga poses on the wooden floor. We discussed moving strategy, paint colors, decorating ideas, and furniture placement.

Today I bought this for my new bedroom:



It is a 12 feet x 8 feet photo mural! It's sort of like wallpaper, comprised of 8 panels.
Imagine my bed in front of this.
