Good Charlotte is the band I hold responsible for bringing together Becky and I as best friends. At MacDade Bowl in 2003, we bonded over our shared like of their music. When we were in eighth grade, we needed to go to our middle school in the evening to assist with Back to School Night. Our middle school required uniforms, but on that night we were able to wear what we wanted, so we decided to wear matching Good Charlotte shirts, the one pictured here. In the years since, we have seen the band together many times. Times in high school when we would beg our parents to drive us into the city. Times in college when she would return home from several hours away, while I went to school close to home at Drexel. Even as we lived in different states, her to Maryland, and me staying put in Pennsylvania, we would make an effort to see them together. For a special occasion she returned home so that we could see them in Philly. Once I went to Annapolis to see them perform in a benefit concert they organized. And a few years ago, we both made our way to Atlantic City, to see them perform on the beach, as part of Warped Tour’s 25th Anniversary festival.
