Timing is everything

I chose a bad semester to take off for my Australian adventure. (If you can't tell, these are all links. Make sure to check out the poll on the Facebook page. You'll understand. It looks like Gavin Degraw is may be coming to Rice, and I'm not going to be there. This is a guy who is arguably my favorite musician of all time, a guy whose music my girlfriend transcribed for piano as a birthday gift, and I'm not going to get to meet him. Arg.)

Or did I?
