What better way to end the month than with an Anish Kapoor?
After stewarding last night’s Valentine’s event at the High I’ve decided that I will voluntarily give up any potential Valentine plans I could have in the upcoming years and work this event instead. There was just too much adorable. Mainly from the elderly couple swing dancing closest to me in the video. My new goal in life is to be as sprightly and fun at that age as they were last night. Also it’s a disappointingly short video because the song was just ending when I thought to record some. But point being, the High’s Valentine event= awesome, even if you’re there working.
My loyal and beautiful tumblr followers- I need you!

I was here, and it was awesome. I will never cease to be jealous of Annie’s kickass guitar playing.
