In and Out: Indie Rock Stars! They're Just Like Us!

At the risk of sounding like a Loose stalker, I submit, for your approval, the first (and probably last) installment of a new segment highlighting the everyday lives of some of your favorite indie stars.



Spotted: One Mr. Sufjan Stevens, laden with shopping bags (Christmas gifts we assume) standing on the Brooklyn-bound F train platform Thursday night. Sending hearts aflutter, the BQE-loving singer stood only several feet away from us as we waited, and waited, and waited some more for the tardy train.

We let one packed train go by before squeezing into a second. Alas, Stevens and his shopping bags would not fit. He resigned himself to wait for another train, seeking solace in a book.

As the doors closed and the train pulled away from the station, we said a silent goodbye to our fellow straphanger. Happy Holidays, Sufjan. Hope you got home OK.

(In hopes of redeeming myself the slightest bit, please also check out Sufjan's thoughts on the overwhelming task of selecting the winner of THE GREAT SUFJAN SONG XMAS XCHANGE!)
