This morning, as I was keeping up with my biweekly facebook browsing (I'm trying to limit my use of facebook, so this is pretty good for me), I noticed something odd on my newsfeed. A few friends were listed as attending an event called 'Taylor Swift at UCLA' and my heart skipped a beat.
Let me back up a minute first and explain that my roommates and I are obsessed with Taylor. I don't care what you think of her live performances or her self made videos making fun of her ex-jonas bf, I just think her CD (regardless of or thanks to voice modification technology) is fabululous. My apartment has probably listened to her new album at least 50 times. When we heard she was performing in LA, we tried to buy tickets but were thwarted by a corrupt ticketmaster which somehow sold out within three minutes. Sure ticketmaster.
Anyway, after spotting this event (and gawking in disbelief for a moment), I clicked on the link to check out the page. So get this, the event page details how Taylor will becoming to UCLA next month to perform at Hedrick Summit's fourth floor lounge before she kicks of her tour. Huh? Unbelievable right? I can't buy tickets to her concert but I can go for free at UCLA? And its got this legit looking poster on there as well. It looks kind of like the shiny postcard fliers you might get on Bruinwalk. People have already started rsvping and voicing their excitement and confusion on the wall. Well I showed Jackie and a few other people in the office and we all just pondered this scenaro for a second. I mean, if I can get wind of a random facebooker's Taylor Swift event, think how many other people will see this and want to go? And then consider how many people can fit into a dorm study louge... like 30 people max! How are they going to accomodate all the Taylor fans!? Well I guess I'll just have to get there early. April 1 is a weeknight anyway. People will be busy studying. Wait a minute... April 1. Anyone know what else April 1 is famous for? I'll give you a minute to think it over.
