Six Years Ago today...

'Perfect Moments Wait...'
Mix Show -August '04



... I saw my favourite band The Cure live for the very first time.

My sister and I travelled from Walla Walla, Washington to stay in a hotel in Seattle, later that afternoon to head further north to Everett, that Tuesday. 

My cousin was travelling there as well from Hood River, Oregon.

I made a mix for the journey in anticipation of the impending glory that would that evening.

These are the songs that 'led' us through our 'Roadway to The Cure', which incidentally was the phrase posted to our backseat window in the car on our trek north with the classic Cure Wish graffiti included.


"Perfect moments wait, if only we could stay..."
