My 15-year-old self is flipping out

The Get Up Kids are playing a reunion show in Kansas City tonight, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the album Something to Write Home About. I went through lots of (mostly embarrassing) favorite bands in high school, but the Get Up Kids were at the top of my list from freshman year through graduation, during which time I went to four of their shows, including their last Detroit stop in June 2005. And recently I’ve been on a Get Up Kids listening spree, so this news is especially exciting!
I’m praying that this one-off gig means a full tour, and hopefully a stop in Michigan (or Chicago or Ohio or pretty much anywhere within, say, five hours of East Lansing). Who’s with me?
Check out “Ten Minutes” from Something to Write Home About, performed at their last show ever (until tonight):
