Apparently the answer is “to church.”
This is the first guest mixtape I’ve gotten, of course from the lovely and talented Andrew Tan, currently residing in San Diego. This mixtape is awesome even for works of his caliber, though. I absolutely love it.
Here is the preface he sent with it:
“A couple times in my life I’ve been told, “You meet a nice girl in a church.” While I’m not sure I totally agree with the phrase, I’m fascinated that the two people who told me this could not have been more different. One was a girl, the other a guy. One went to church, the other not so much. One knew me since the start of college, the other, a few hours.
I had this phrase in my mind when I made this mix, and looking at it now, I’m not totally sure what it’s about, but I suppose if it went to college, it majored in loneliness and minored in unrequited love.”
