The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me. In a world where it is hard to trust even your neighbors, I have found myself, time and time again, surrounded by people who have no real reason to extend kindness to me, let alone offer friendship. And yet they do. Unquestioningly, uninhibitedly, there you are, supporting me, encouraging me, sustaining me. Life is nothing without great people to share your experiences with, and I've found some of the greatest on earth.
There are more than a thousand reasons that I love the band 100 Monkeys, and with every encounter I have with them, I find a thousand more. But, shining through and around every single one of those is this simple truth: the others out there, others like me who are dedicated to this group of men, are some of the most amazing people on the planet. Through this band, I have found friendships that transcend fandom and seep into the very pores of my existence. I have found a sisterhood, a home, a place to call my own. You know who you are, and what you've done to earn my gratitude. My only hope is that when you think of me, it is with the same fondness with which I think of you.
Well... enough with the mushy stuff. :) Let's get on with the rest of the post, shall we?
Here are my remaining never-before-seen-or-posted pictures from the 100 Monkeys performance at The Book and Stage in Las Vegas on April 30, 2011:
