Hello, Vacation.

I'm taking a brief sojourn to Los Angeles this weekend,
wherein I will see this lovely person*:

and this lovely person**:

Yay!

*My pal Brandon, author of The Static.

** My non-pal Justin Vernon, author of For Emma, Forever Ago, for the '...Weirdest. Bon Iver show. EVER' according to Pitchfork. 'Bon Iver is set to sidle up next to the gravestones at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in L.A. on September 27. Along with the unorthodox setting, the show time is equally unique: 6 a.m. Doors open at midnight. Good thing admission includes coffee and pastries.' Dude, pastries!
