My friend and I thought it would be fun to go with her boyfriend’s band to a couple of their shows last weekend.

While I was able to fulfill my lifelong fantasy of being a merch girl- or, the girl who carries a box of t-shirts from the van to the venue- I ultimately realized that being in a band seems like way too much work. I’m exhausted and all I did was dance and pass out in the back of my friend’s Acton all weekend.

Check out some of the pics I snapped on the trip that took me from NYC to Boston to Vermont and back…
