Here’s the deal Tucson folk: there’s a Lady Gaga dance party going on a few weeks at Club Congress. On a Thursday. As part of Optimist Club.  And since I can’t be there, I’m expecting to live vicariously through all of you.  So please go?

Let’s be real: I really miss Tucson, and really really miss the Tucson food.
I think I’ve mentioned 24 hour Mexican food to my coworkers several times every week that I’ve been out on the East coast. It’s just so delicious/convenient/cheap/perfect. The Taco Shop will forever hold a place in my heart, particularly because of how close to campus it was. 
I don’t have that many recommendations in terms of Tucson restaurants (no more than 20ish places), but this is definitely in my top 5. Yes, El Guero Canelo has a better selection, serves better salsa, is more ‘restaurant-like’, but when it’s 4am and all you want is a breakfast burrito - Taco Shop is your best bet.

I think I’m allergic to spring. Or just my residence hall. Regardless, I’m almost out of Puffs Plus with lotion, and am seeking to remedy that situation ASAP!

Yesterday I went to my first-ever Spring Training game! Rockies-White Socks at Hi Corbett Field - and the weather was fansastic!

Gogol Bordello : Not A Crime

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again - my fave gypsy punk Russian/Ukrainian/American band ever. I’ve seen them live every single time they’ve been in Tucson in the last three years. LOVE

My favorite part of AIDSwalk is the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Even though I couldn’t walk with my team this year, I made it a point to go see the quilt peices.
… makes me wanna cry year after year

[What I Wore] Fall 09 Club Crawl: Casual and Country
Saturday night was the semi-annual Tucson Club Crawl and it involved a ton of walking, dancing to latin music, and hugging friends I hadn’t seen in months.

Cotton printed tunic: F21 (on sale - only $4.99!)
Jeans - Union brand
Cowboy Boots - thrifted

The boots’ 2 inch lift was what I needed to feel cute and kinna dressy while still walking a ton last night. Temperatures have been fluctuating quite a bit lately (highs in 90s, lows in 60s) - so I went with a jean (instead of tights).
