My friend Dyan emailed me a couple of weeks ago and said, “I think we should go to Montreal in July and see Wilco.” I emailed her back and said, “I’d love to go, but I doubt Chris [my bf] will go for it. I will ask him, though.” I sent Chris an email (we live together, but were both at work at the time) and he never mentioned it. Days and days went by, but since I never thought he’d agree to go in the first place, I didn’t really think about it. Suddenly, last Tuesday he emailed me at work and said, “We could probably do this if we figured out the finances.” One day later, we had bought Wilco tickets and booked a hotel room for the three of us, July 8-14.
