Pinback

This is how we looked on our way to see Pinback.

Obviously beyond happy.

We should have been.

It was a night to remember.

One can never see Pinback too many times.

Which is why I am on number three of witnessing their act.

The next day we went to out breakfast AND made homemade breakfast.

What a bunch of tubbies.

Then we played in the leaves.

Took a walk around the block.

All whilst Suzanne was in her own world.
Loving every second of the beautiful fall day.

Spark!

I went to a scrapbook convention of sorts. I did. I really did. Mostly I went to visit the CEO of scrapbooking. Not to create; however, there was creativity everywhere. It was a rad event that I secretly wish I attended.

Instead I just reaped the rewards (gifts and popcorn!) like a good little non attender should.

This is what it looks like when the CEO and I fake scrapbook ourselves in real life.

This is practically an engagement photo. Sorry about your luck J Mills.

Gammy D Gives Gifts

I bet you didn't know there is such a thing as a divorce-tini glass. There sure is and I was lucky enough to receive one as a gift.

That is right. I have the best friends around.

Here it is in all it's glory.

Comical.

Definitely in my top ten (top!) gifts of my life.

Thanks to one of the best friends ever created.

Fall Bonfire

This was the fall day where we were like, "Let's build a bonfire." Phyllis was like, "Uh. Uh. I don't know guys. That seems really dangerous." Hence the face below.

Then these guys were like, "Oh Phyllis Bill Willis William Tuddenham. Quit being such a baby. You are blowing it for bonfire night." Then they cheered, "Let's just do it."

So they co-created a romantic fire for all. Except that it was not romantic for most. But! It was still a scream of a time.

Song Love. Lyric Love.

Passion Pit

This show was a danceable disaster for me, but still so much fun while it lasted.

Passion Pit (or MGM-Pit as Jordan calls them) performing their hits.

Someone accidentally stole the set list. Good job Elisha.

Better Things....second to last song and my favorite.

Girl's night out.
I was so happy Sara from high school was able to join us.
It was practically high school reunion night.

No Sad Shad on this night. How great does Happy Shad look?

Practically glowing.

I love this photo because of Phyllis and the striped stranger in the background.

Imagine my surprise when Spencer, whom I had not seen since high school, was at Urban.

Wait. It gets better.

Then Jordan, also from high school, was there....in a matching shirt.

Cute couple.

So happy to see them.

Annik was also there with her amazing dance moves. Another friend I met in high school.

Who would have known MGM-Pit could create such unity?

I loved every minute of seeing these people dancing their hearts out.

Videograss Premiere

Every winter I go to see my brother do crazy snowboarding tricks in movies.

Family support alert.

It always freaks me out.
Do not even get me started on the Love/Hate video where he is filmed smashing his face in and breaking his eye socket. Not great and disgusting, but whatever, he is good at it.

These movies take me back to skiing every Saturday as kids. Always the Mom I was sure to yell at him with each absurd jump choice for a seven year old. That yell scares him to this day. We were both crazy, but he was and is fearless.

I am so proud of him and his success. As he says, "I have my dream job guys."

L.U.C.K.Y.

This is how they prepare to see the movie.

True love.

After the movie. Wait. How about mid movie they wanted to leave. That is right. I did not even get to see it all. Apparently that is what DVD's are for they say. We went to Este for some delicious vegan pizza.

This is how Phyllis and I felt about pizza and hanging out. Two of three best friends!
Then we went to meet these guys at the Bayou. Terrible picture, but I do not care. Mostly because Matt is pointing at the camera like he owns it.
This guy makes the most incredible steak and eggs you will ever eat. He is a real treasure that can tell incredible stories that can make anyone laugh.

Oh and Shad joined us to talk shop.

The end.
