i'm going to see janelle monae perform in hartford tomorrow evening! it's FREE! i'm so incredibly stoked because even though she's pretty much brand new and only released her very first album about 2 months ago, she's ALREADY one of my favorite artists of all time. which is also very convenient because not a whole lot of people know who she is yet.  they will someday, but now, i'm enjoying being an enormous fan of someone who the masses have yet to discover.

i took this photo when i saw her opening for erykah badu in boston in june.
