The other is a novel called Girls of Summer, it’s a queer love store centred around the Vans Warped Tour at the Calgary Speedway in 2001. This is my podcast about the beautiful songs that we love, and times we have cried to them in public. I use public loosely, public can mean whatever it means to the guest.
