Yes, August is around the corner. You’ve already analyzed your summer and what’s left of it. O.K, so you probably did not do all the things you’ve wanted to do with the price of gas causing a ripple effect on the cost of everything, except for clothing. Sweat shops around the world, we in America thank you. To make up for the bad joke, I’m encouraging you to read: Sweatshop Warriors by Miriam Ching Yoon Louie. Thank you, for allowing me to clense my conscious.
In any case, the summer is not over. In my world, it doesn’t end until there’s snow on the ground. If you don’t get snow, then your summer doesn’t end until the bleach blondies stop going to the beach for their regular tanning sessions. Here’s a list of festivals and concert series, you might want to crash before it’s over!
