Where, oh where?

So I am very seriously considering moving to California -- San Mateo to be exact (just south of San Francisco). Jersey just isn't cutting it. Think, I could have the ocean to the west and mountains to the east -- Lake Tahoe and Yosemite are only something like 4 hours away. Napa Valley is right up the road, and beautiful beaches are to the south. There are probably many more people my age and with my interests than lovely little Princeton. And while it might not be the South, Californians have a reputation for being a little more relaxed than Northeasterners. I dunno, it's a long ways away, but it sounds pretty sweet. What to do?

I went to a Dave Matthews concert last Friday -- it was good times, although the beer closing down at 8:30 was sub-optimal. Next concert I need to go with some crazy types, so I can dance around and just make a complete fool of myself. The set-list was pretty sweet, including several new songs, my most favorite probably being "Break Free". A friend hooked me up with a great site where people post shows they have recorded, so I have already gotten my hands on a fairly good recording of the concert. A taste of the "Break Free" lyrics:

I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy baby, don’t let up
And if I’m fallin’ I don’t want to stop
I give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I drink your tears but don’t you
cry cry, cry cry

Awesome song - hopefully it will be on his next album (supposedly due out in 2007).
