Personal Writing: Our Trip to See the Band "Last One Standing"


        This past Friday I traveled down to Burlington with my friends Justin,
Jamie, and Steve.   The purpose of our trip was to see Justin and his band, Last
One Standing, play at his old high school in Colchester. We all met around
three o'clock, then piled into Justin's black, Volkswagen GTI, behind the
