    Thanks for your input, everyone. When we recalculated, we realized that L.A. was actually much cheaper than Austin... so we'll go to L.A. this time. We'll wait a few years and try to make it to SXSW or ACL Festival when I get out of grad school.

     

    As for getting out of L.A. while we're there, we are definitely planning to rent a car and see things other than freeways. :thumbup

    My boyfriend and I want to take our vacation during the first week in February, and we want to go somewhere warmish (at least compared to Baltimore), so our final contenders are Los Angeles and Austin. I priced both trips as far as airfare, hotel, and rental car, and it would cost about the same either way. It's too early to know if there will be any good shows that week, although I am sure there will be in both places, just because there almost always are.

     

    Where would you go, and why? It will be my first time for either place.

     

    Edited to add: we like to shop for books and music, eat cheap but good vegetarian food, and walk around aimlessly. We also like art museums.

    Jock or Spazz?

    I was cheerleading captain in 8th grade, but I got kicked off the team for a reason that I no longer remember.

     

    Went to high school and realized that the kids who hung out in the art & music wing were a lot more fun than the jocks, and I never looked back.

    I am a Christian, so maybe my thoughts made it sway the way that I tend to think about things, but I was very surprised to hear that people think that Jeff is an Agnostic. I have always seen a lot of spiritual imagery in his words. Maybe that is the beauty of art, or maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I thought I should throw out a counter point.

     

    It is possible to be a spiritual, deep, good-hearted person without being a Christian, you know. I was raised Catholic, went to church every Sunday of my life until I was 16 and had 13 years of Catholic school. I do not consider myself a Christian any longer, but I did not throw out the baby with the bathwater. There is plenty to love about the teachings of Christ. I just don't happen to buy into the idea of "God" in the Christian sense.

     

    I have no idea whether Jeff identifies as an agnostic, but I was at that Messiah College show and it definitely seemed that he didn't identify as a Christian.
