Although we had first briefly met at a music festival in 2011, it was not until we randomly ran into each other a year later at a STRFKR show that we really hit it off. Perhaps I had gotten more handsome over that year, or perhaps it was the vodka sodas she had put back, but Charlie decided to hang out with me that night. During the show she mentioned that she had rented a cabin in Tahoe for the winter, so before the night ended, feeling confident from the beers I'd had, I brazenly invited myself up to the cabin on her next trip. Not really expecting this tactic to work, I went about the next week enchanted from our time together, and plotting my next move. Then a few days later, lo and behold, Charlie came through and texted asking if I was serious about going to Tahoe with her, and invited me along. I took her up on the invite, spent the weekend with Charlie, one of her best friends, and her sister, and here we are now.
