birthday gift for my little sibling :)
in middle and highschool I listened to a lot of cavetown. despite our almost 8 year age gap, my sibling has always been my best friend, so naturally we spent a lot of time together listening to music. when my sibling was only around 4-6 years old, I introduced them to cavetown and they became obsessed with Robbie's music. we'd sit in my bedroom for hours watching his music videos and drawing. I remember the first time they saw the music video for "green" and ended up crying and continued to bring up the impact it had on them days later.
anyways, cavetown's art means so much to me and to this day is my sibling's all time favorite artist, and that's something we really bond over. this Sunday is their 12th birthday and I decided to do something special: take them to see cavetown in concert!! I custom made the cutest little fake ticket stubs to give to them on their birthday and I figured y'all might enjoy :)
it's so crazy to think when I was a sad trans middle schooler, I was the coolest person ever in the eyes of my sibling. the jump from being 5 and 13 to almost 12 and 20 is insane. they're at the same age I was when I got into this wonderful music, and I am so thankful I am fortunate enough to gift my sibling this once in a life time experience. if I had gone to this concert at their age I think I would have exploded XD (still might explode, as much as I'm doing this for my sibling it's a dream come true for myself as well and I am so excited!!)
