Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

I went to The Middle East in Cambridge for my first time last night. In the words of my now-living-in-Chicago-sister, “OMG you’ve never been to The Middle East?? What do you do??” When she asked me if I’ve ever been to T.T. The Bears and I said no to that too, I thought she was going to disown me. I didn’t date a Boston band guy for 4 years of my life like she did, so I guess I haven’t had the opportunity to check out too much of Boston’s music scene. Actually, I probably haven’t even been to Central Square since my high school days. Sue me. Anyway, my roommate’s boyfriend is in the band My So-Called Friend, which is great because it gives us the opportunity to check out parts of Boston we normally wouldn’t. Not to mention, the band is amazing and never fail to put on a fabulous show. And they’re cute too. You should check them out here

MSCF also has probably the best manager in the world…Matt Cohen. I grew up playing with a family friend Matt Cohen who my parents secretly hoped I would marry someday. But until now I never met another Matt Cohen. And then out of the blue last week, my sister called me and said, “I met a guy named Matt Cohen the other day!” So, maybe it’s a more popular name than I thought. However, this Matt Cohen is most def. the best of them all. And he’s also an avid reader of my blog…and that makes him even cooler. Soo hi Matt Cohen, rock on!
