2. I went out to Gogol' tonight (I picked it randomly but then realized Sara had also suggested it) to see indie rock bands (although I would call them straight "rock"; there was nothing "indie" about them) Polyusa and someone else, don't know who.

4. Number of times asked for directions: 2
Number of functional conversations in Russian: 2
A ∩ B = 0.
Has the White Nights celebration happened yet? My host mom warned me about khuligany terrorizing the city, etc, and implored me to remain safely inside. I did, but more because my host "sister" lived kind of far from the action, and I didn't want to go into St. Petersburg alone that night.
