the good times are killing me

so last night we, (LB, Michael C, Buddy John & I) got to see Modest Mouse

Twilight concert Series 2010- Free, Every thrusday, Pioneer Park....

http://www.slcgov.com/arts/twilight/

(Hint: park in the Gateway parking, it ended up being free, and was just a short walk away!)

anyway, Modest Mouse is one of my most favorite bands.. (along side with of Montreal!!!) i have always wanted to see them live. so woot for finally being able to!!!

Modest Mouse played a 2 hour set! it was great!

Buddy John guesses there were at least 6000 people there.. it was jammed packed!!

after the show Buddy John, LB and Friend Ryan went to eat, then home.. LB and i got home at 2am.

**funny line of the night: "Now lets welcome... The..Mouse" -Mayor of SLC, he was a bit confused of the band he was welcoming to slc-- haha

i leave you with my favorite(it was so hard to choose just one!!!) Modest Mouse song:

'Talking Shit about a Pretty Sunset' - Modest Mouse

-I changed my mind so much i can't even trust it, my mind changed me so much i can't even trust myself-

odds & ends:

Dear Readers: please enjoy the random thoughts...

Benjamin: for those of you who dont know, Benjamin is my Boyfriend. i like him a lot. a lot a lot. for some strange reason, we really have no pictures of us together.. but thats ok, i am a patient gal. i have been spending a lot of my free time with Benjamin, and when i say a lot of my free time, i mean all of my free time... i really enjoy his company! Benjamin lives in Sandy, its only about one hour away, so really its not that bad. so yep, thats Benjamin, he is such a sweetheart! i like him a lot.

Passion Pit: Thursday April 8th, Benjamin, Celeste and i went to a Passion Pit Show.. AMAZING! i love it!!!

that is one of my favorite Passion Pit songs, Sleepyhead. their music is nice and dancey.. perfect! i had such a good time at their show!

Mikey's Birthday party: mikey turned 22 on the 15th, we celebrated his birthday Fiesta style at their new Casa... mike and stacy know how to throw a good party with GREAT food! complete with pineapple salsa, yummy beans and rice and also some Carrot birthday cake (duck form of course!).

at the party we were even graced with the presence of a special guest with the last name of Westfall... i dont think i need to say much more other than perhaps give a shout out to Maggie Matrix and anyone who knows anything about Anime. HOLLA!

Palm Pre Plus: Celeste and i both have matching new phones! i love my phone so much! it's perfect for me. it syncs to Google Calander, i have easy access to Facebook, Twitter and the interhighway. it stores the text messgages in conversation format, which i love!!! horray for new phones!!!

a weekend with Becky-Sue!

my bestest-best friend Becky came up from st.g to spend the weekend with me! we had a blast!

Becky arrived on Friday night, via St.G shuttle. we treated ourselves to some YUMMY Jc Mickelson's Restaurant Prime Rib in celebration of being hungry and being together.

on Saturday, we went up to the Color Festival. after we cleaned up, becky did sister Celeste's hair for Jr.Prom. becky did such a good job on it! Celeste looked Beautiful!!!

Sunday was a relaxing day, we took it easy... not too much going on- we found a bunch of music, and planned a bit for our future trip to Europe. my friend Benjamin came down and got to meet the whole fam. we finished the relaxing day watching Wall-E & Up. excellent!

Monday was set aside to spend the whole day in SLC. after we woke up and got ready for the day, we headed up for some excellent Zupas :) we made our way to Thanksgiving Point to peruse the shops. we got a phone call telling us that the Devendra concert for that night had been cancelled due to his broken leg. after complaining a bit, we called Benjamin and luckily he stepped in as entertainer for the night. we went to see Sherlock Holmes then finished the night with some Butter Pecan Ice cream (a possible new favorite).

Tuesday is right now, and so far its great. we are enjoying the last of being lazy before we both return to work. today is the start to my crazy work schedule.

i just love spending time with my becky-sue. i miss our st.g days when we were always spending time together- maybe someday we will live close together again..and of course our business!!! :)

Super Rad - party in my tummy

pardon the tardiness of this overdue blog----

December 6th 2008:
i left my Alchemist class early so i could take my siblings to perhaps the greatest concert this year ever!

THE AQUABATS!!!

__________________________________

i think i shall start with this: earlier this year celeste and i were going a bit concert crazy, hoovie being 10 was not invited or allowed to go to concerts... after i found out she was really digging The Aquabats, i told her they next time they come to Utah, we can go! as soon as i found out they were comming i bought 3 tickets right away!!!

mom helped us make some capes and eye masks so we could be good space cadets! we fit right in with our wonderful homemade attire! my appoligies, i was so out of it that i didnt even think to take a picture!!! perhaps i can gather up my siblings to re-create the moment! we will see...


Hoovie is 10, but she wasnt the youngest!!! she went as MC Bat commander, Mustache too! she had so much fun dancing around and singing all the Aquabat songs. she even joined a Skank Pit..what fun!

Celeste really liked the show too, it was a bit different crowd than the other concert crowds she has previously been to. she difinatly enjoyed DJ Lance Rock

Michael got talked into this one last minute... i wasnt sure if i wanted to miss the last of my class, so i asked him to go with the girls at first then i would meet up with them later. it all worked out ok though, he even proudly sported his cape and eye mask- what a trooper! although he was a semi-fan of Yo Gabba Gabba, i think this concert has changed his mind forever! he was impressed!!


some of my favorite Aquabats Songs that they preformed!:
Look at Me (i'm a winner)
Pizza Day
Pool Party
Super Rad
Hi-Five City
________________________________________________________________

although we went to see The Aquabats, i really enjoyed DJ Lance Rock! if you are not familar with the kids TV Show called Yo Gabba Gabba, i suggest you become a fan! as soon as it came on i loved it! anyway, DJ Lance Rock did one of his signature kicks, he wore his fancy orange outfit, complete with fuzzy hat, and DJ'd his own stuff! i was a bit curious of what he would do, but i was so excited when he play a lot of Yo Gabba Gabba songs!

___________________________________________

and you better believe i was singing along! it was really a treat!!!

DJ Lance Rock even brought some of his Yo Gabba Gabba friends to the stage: Brobee, and Plex the magic robot..!!!

they even had some of the kids from the concert join them on the stage to dance for the last song!

it was wonderful.


anyway, the concert was wonderful! im thinking that it would be super rad to see the Aquabats every year for christmas as a sibling tradition! it would be fun!
