...and you all have no idea how FREAKING EXCITED I AM!!!!! It must come into my mind at least 5 times per day. I was just reading Robbie's post and read the words "maine for summer retreat" and my stomach actually did a backflip. To be honest, I'm also a little bit nervous. Ok, a lot bit nervous - just because you're all going to be in MY HOUSE! And, well, my house isn't the most put-together place, more like organized chaos if you know what I mean :) Ohhh but we're going to be on the island as well, and even though y'all might THINK you know what you're in for, I think (hope) that you will be blown away by the spectacular beauty and peace of the place. I've been having such a blast planning out the few things that we'll be able to do! Although I was so sad to find out that the rope swing that I've gone to out on Black Stream had finally broken! We could still go there though and jump off the bridge or the old train tracks (for the mighty of heart only). Also, the National Folk Festival is coming to Bangor that weekend, which is always a blast - they have the greatest music: Blues, folk, gospel, jazz, and always a marching band from New Orleans! Also, we could go to Fort Knox and explore (it's dark and wet and slimey and GREAT) and get some ice cream from the other side of the river. Don't worry, there will be plenty of time to regroup and sing and do some serious Redhot and Blue bonding before we go back to Yale.
On a completely different note, I've currently found my new favorite song: Keiji's "Hit the Road Jack". If any of you haven't listened to it, or at least looked at the music yet you are seriously missing out. Also, it was 85 degrees in New York today. At 7:45 in the morning. Luckily I work in a freezing cold building all day due to extreme air-conditioning (great for the environment). Now I'm off to torture some poor young children and separate them from their mother who just might be going insane right now since I'm not there to save her. Glad to see you're all doing so well and are so happy with your summers! I miss and love you all like WHOA

AH! I'm so excited. I was just at my summer house this past weekend (which I may post about) and I was thinking how much I wished Redhot could be there, so I can't even imagine how amazing retreat is going to be. Really. So so so psyched. Especially after seeing those pictures - it looks BEAUTIFUL. You should post them here, just for interest's sake.
xo.
incidentally, my house is just plain chaos, so just wait until you all are invited here and you won't ever worry about your house again. plus, it's just homier and friendlier that way.
