Another Friday Night

A stage. I like the art.

Marty, Me, Candice, and Russel waiting for the music to start.
Why would they call a porta-potty a Honey Bucket? I don't get it.

Candice let me wear her hat. Not too shabby. I want one right now. Everyone must have a fedora. Christmas is just around the corner.



Candice is says, "Don't do drugs yo!"

De La Soul

Trax or the tram as Melissa would call it. Melissa is giving Katie/Debbie a mustache to cheer her up. That had to be the reason, because that works every time.

This chick is is celebrating Pioneer day in style. I think she forgot the ribbon in her hair is for presents. Silly trax girl.

I don't know. We were planning some great pictures and then somehow came up with this little gem. All I know is that Megs and I had the most fun in the 10 minutes we got to hang out. Just look at us. How can you not have fun with a girl that has a Slip n' Slide birthday party at Sugarhouse park?

Me, Carly/Katie, and Melissa. Check out the girl in the back of us with the blue shirt. Scary.

Me and Georgelifedotcom. Somehow I managed to get my own engagement photo just like Melissa did last week. Who would have thought we would end up at an SEM show after De La Soul? It was great. Also, I kind of think Georgelifedotcom looked better in the sweet 80's shirt he was wearing in Jeff's birthday post. I am just saying...

Steel Days

I went to the Steel Days parade with my brother and his family last Saturday. Parades are still great and there is some really random floats. I only took this one picture. That was not great of me. I just didn't really feel like it. So what.

So my favorite things about this picture?

1. My nephew's friend on the left looks about 40 when he is actually 13 ish. Can't you just imagine him shaking your hand and saying, "Hi, I am Brad and I will be your stock broker?" I can. I don't even know his name but he looks like he could be a Brad...or an Andrew...but Andy when he is on the basketball court.

2. Brady, on the right, has the best look on his face. Where did that come from? Notice his shirt says Got Muscles? I am going to have a little talk with my brother about that one. Not great.

3. The red weaved lawn chair in the back of them. That must be the Cadillac of all lawn chairs. I need to go pick one up down to the ol' Wal Mart.

Andrew Bird

Melissa and I went to Andrew Bird at the Gallivan Center. It was so fun. Andrew Bird is great if you didn't already know.

I look like a giant next to her. Also, a little known fact about Melissa and me. We were internet friends first and now we are in real life friends. What are the chances? Well, maybe there are a lot of chances. It is 2008.

This is what I think of the free show.

Turns out Melissa is the greatest and becomes friends with everyone she meets. Look at this picture? It could be an engagement photo. Yes, yes it could be.

I love artsiness and downtown. There is nothing better than music outside.

I was reunited again with someone from the past. It took us a couple of minutes to figure out how we knew each other, but we did it! He claimed it was from some kid named Joel? Look Wesley, I don't know a Joel, so shut it.

What? Another engagement photo? This was one of the pianists at Keys on Main. Aren't they cute? I would marry them.

Melissa is so fun! Wait, I am fun. We are fun. After this picture was taken I sent the text to my friend that said, "I just got beer spilled in my eyeball. Believe it. Drunks are crazy." Ha ha. My eyeball! Who says that anyway? I was clearly not happy about the drunks that night.

I love dueling pianos. I think I could do this job and love every second of it.

Other great things that happened that night:

-On trax on our way to SLC there was a guy pretending text. He was actually fake texting. He kept repeating, " I love texting." Hahah.

-On trax on our way home, there was a gangster girl that was 2 seconds away from beating us up. I don't know what we did but she was not happy. Good thing we played it cool because there was almost a dance off gangster style between us. I was relieved, mostly because I was not prepared with the appropriate bandana.

-We got free Taco bell from two people we endearingly called New York and Alaska/47. Somehow I end up with nicknames for everyone.

Best News.

It is official....Bob Dylan here we come. I better get a shirt like Jordan's to wear for the special occasion....except maybe I will cut it and sew it so it can look slutty. Tee hee. Kidding guys. Calm down.

I think my parents might even join us. Yeah, my parents are hip, can you dig it? It would be the best family outing ever. I have to talk them into breaking the Sabbath first. That could be quite the task but worth it. I mean, Brother Dylan could die at any moment. How could someone even think of missing out?

The Roots

I knew it would be a great night one I saw this guy. He was as very adamant that if I took a picture of him it was to be a picture of him and no one else. Yes Sir. Check out that hair.

Yes, we were so close to the stage. Not. (Yes, so bringing that word back too.) There were a million people at this show. I couldn't find anyone.

I finally found these guys. How depressing would it have been if it was just me watching The Roots by myself with a sad face? My sad face is pretty good though, it might have actually been a good photo.

I am demonstrating to these guys how to say my new last name I am going to give myself. Yep, I made up a kick A. last name. It is going to have an exclamation point and so anyone who says it has to say it whilst pumping their arm in enthusiasm as pictured. I am also going to give myself a middle name while I am at it. I haven't decided on that one yet. Probably something cool like Emilee Bilbo Baggins.

How is it raining?

Jeff with the wax statue Brandon.




This kid tapped me on the shoulder and then did nothing when I turned around. Um, funny joke guy. So we pretended to take a picture of ourselves and this is how it turned out. Not too shabby. I think those two were mimes.

My favorite two people of the night were this dashing young couple.
Look closely. They traded one shoe with each other....kind of like Sadie Hawkins for shoes? How is that for romantic. Look at her throwing her head back laughing, this must be true love and happiness. Sold.

Lauren was showing me how stuck up girls look. If you are in the market to be a jerk girl and don't know how to look stuck up Lauren says you should squint your eyes, glare a little, and stick out your lips. It is as easy as 1,2,3.

What is better than Lauren's re-enactment of a girl we saw? I will tell you. This random kid jumped in the picture as I was taking it. I was all, "What the?" He was all, "I do what I want" And I was all, "Don't get up in my grill." Then I punched him Okay, didn't happen but I asked the kid his name because he looked familiar. Turns out he is a kid I used to babysit! What are the chances I would recognize him, let alone see him?

Reunited.

I was supposed to go to the show with Jordan but I couldn't ever find him and that was lame and sad. I finally found him at the end of the night. We saw Harley, another kid I used to babysit. I used to be rich due to my mass amounts of babysitting skills. Harley and Jordan are funny and I laughed a lot pre and post photo.
