That's right. You and I do have the same birthday. And, I'll finally be legal to buy alcohol. Actually, we should collaborate on a playlist.

Reggae cover of a tune by Bread, faithful to the original, probably did get released in the US after the success of I Can See Clearly Now, though I don't know that for sure.

I doubt I'll have enough money, and around my birthday, there are usually midterms. I wish I could come to Chicago, though, but I'll probably just spend my birthday studying then listening to Retroforward while drinking.
well whenever you do decide to come out here, the offer has no expiration date ;) you know lisa, lindsey, and me out here so no matter what, you'll have a good time. I think if I do not blow all my loan cash paying off parking tix another east coast trip might be possible next spring or summer so I can hangout with wenorder, you, and Lyle again. Maybe Bentley can hang out too as he is not that far from the rest of you guys :)
