Dinner and a CD

I loved the article in the June 2025 PAW about PREX. It took me right back to a first date I had during the fall of our senior year. We had just finished dinner at Mediterra, and I think it was his idea to take a walk over to the Princeton Record Exchange. We were probably both eager to share our extremely cool, very underground music taste. We decided to each blindly pick out a CD to purchase. That night, in the family’s white Toyota Sienna minivan that he had on campus, we blasted one of the albums: Berlin Serengeti by Radio Citizen. It became the soundtrack of our early relationship. Eighteen years later, we’re still together, now vibing to new music with our two sons — minus the minivan.
