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!

Cause Thunder Comes After...LIGHTNING! Ca-chow!

yeah, that's from Cars.

The power went out.  Which was really random because there wasn't a huge thunderstorm, just really rainy.  It makes me want to crawl back in bed and watch Hitchcock all day long.  But I can't {see previous post}

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Funny because it's raining right now.

I thought a dogwood would go nicely because "The American President" was on last night {I love that movie} because he tries to get her a dogwood flowers because it is the Virginia state flower.

Maryland's is the blackeyed susan.  All of our official state symbols are color corridinated.  That's why Maryland is far superior to anyother state {I kid}.

And Florida's is the orange blossom.  Which makes sense.  Everything is orange this orange that in Florida.


What's your state flower?


Cheers!

Snow Woe Woe Woe

I woke up this morning to it fluering outside. Now it is really collecting. I figured I could go to the park after I indulge myself in some Five Guys.  I love snow.

Cheers!

ps sorry I have been lacking on the posts, still suffering a little head cold.

Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel

So, here it is: to an end it comes. Today I am packing all the cold weather wear into a suitcase to go back up to Baltimore. It will be sad. Yet good. Back to the noise that I have grown so used to sleeping to.

Bon Voyage

Snowing in Baltimore

Everytime I see snow for the first time of the year I think of this episode we had video taped when I was much younger of Winnie the Pooh. Christopher is excited about the first snow of the year. Guess what I just spotted outside the aparment window?

SNOW!!!
Flurries, really.  Not enough to play in. But still. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas.

{I found this photo via gorbot's photostream on flickr}

Speaking of snow: On the front of my Chemistry book way back in the tenth grade, was a magnified picture of a snow flake.  Very similar to this.

Nothing {to Wear}

Do you ever have those days where you look at your closet and it feels absolutly drab? Well today is one of those days. Actually, last night all of my muted colored clothes were dirty and I needed to wear layers. So I ended up wearing a yellow thermal and my lucky red tee (I took the SATs in it). I looked like McDonalds!

{This awesome vintage photo is from by golly molly on flickr.}

Meanwhile: do you think I could pull off this neat-o bag for a laptop? Probably not. But it is so worth dreaming.

I've been waiting to buy these fun things for someone, but I may just have to get them for myself.

Au Revoir!

Brrrrr

It's getting cold outside, which means more layers!
