About Last Night: Concert in the Park

Mark that off my list of summer things to do because I went to an awesome concert in the park last night.  Evan Watson {genre=blues!} was playing along with his amazing band.  We sat on the grass, had a lunchbox of snacks and jammed out to pretty awesome music.  And I DID bring my camera!

Here are some pics I took to document the wonderful night:


Melinda and I were commenting on how not-bluesy Evan Watson looks.  Seriously, though, he looks like someone I went to high school with, not a blues singer.  But he is a good one, at that.



My brother {left} found amazing seats, right there in the action.  It was a little crammed, but much better than the spacious spot Melinda and I had found way in the back.  {Fortunatly I had thought to wear shorts underneath my skirt}.  One the right is Shana, remember he skull ring?


Nicky, Tracy, Melinda: three awesome babes I dare to hang out with.


Melinda and I.  Apparently I look like I belong on the cover of Almost Famous, according to Tracy.


She doesn't.  Though, I do like my reflection in there.


Emily's burger and fries {the fries were good, but I forgot to ask her where she got that}.


Lots of people just hanging out on the grass jamming to some good music.


Honestly, when I was told it was a concert in the park in Mt. Vernon {not the Mt. Vernon you know, its the downtown of Baltimore}, I was like "what park?"  It's pretty teeny.


I have a few shaky videos of them performing that I hope to be able to post.  One of some song I don't know {still good} and one of their version of TLC's Waterfalls.  I knew all the words.  They also did She Came in Through the Bathroom Window which I would have also recorded if I weren't so busy dancing.  Goodness, it was amazing!

Bicycle Race

I have this love for bicycles that is unexplanable. Just their whole concept, the way they work, their aesthetic, and so on. It is actually kind of ironic because I didn't learn how to ride a bicycle until I was about eight or nine years old. I have this photograph of me in the Easter Sunday dress riding this bicycle down the street because I was so proud that I had learned how to ride. Here is a collection of bicycle photographs.
