“Looms” is such an ominous word, right? I used it for alliteration. I went with that instead of “lurks,” as that word is even more fraught with nervousness. In spite of the title, I’m not dreading this trip in the least. It’s quite the opposite. It feels so incredible to have something like this to anticipate. A cross-country trip with my favorite girl to see some incredible new wave music in a state that I’ve never taken the time to explore? YES PLEASE.
Ideally, we’ll land in LA
