i love that they specify champagne-drinking and polaroid-taking as the pre-ceremony activities. there is no finer pair, in my opinion. just ask the attendees of our new years party.

and for your viewing/listening pleasure, an amazing live performance by dirty projectors. i think i am a little bit in love with every person in this video, dave longstreth especially. he is a dreamboat.
