The Show Must Go On

No matter how you may be feeling, the world around you doesn't stop. For me, that might be a good thing.

Music is my medicine, so I knew I was going to see Dawes in Davis on the 1st.
I got off work a touch early, (Thanks Brad!) grabbed my sister, and we were off. Now, I have only driven to Davis one other time but I felt pretty good about getting there. As luck would have it, no traffic, and we made excellent time! I parked right up the street for free. As we walked, we passed the band so I knew we were in the right place. It was like a little community center in downtown Davis. Not many people were there and a local girl started the show. Jonny Corndawg had Dawes to back him up and that set was a ton of fun! Then Dawes came on and, once again, knocked it out of the park. Ashley and I had so much fun!!! It's rare that we hang out and have such a fun time being silly anymore. I'm so overly excited for Dawes' new album... After the show, I was lucky and got to talk to Griffin and then to Taylor. (Never did figure out where Alex has gone) They are all such nice regular guys...all good.
*This one is for Taylor who didn't know who Charlie Musslewhite is.


The following Saturday I was in Yesenia's Wedding!
It started off super early. I had to be at the Mary Agatha Furth Center, with my hair done, by 9am. We set up the hall for over an hour and then got all dressed up. The limo came to take us girls to the church in Calistoga. Now, I'm not Catholic and this wedding was a Spanish Catholic wedding. I was a little out of place to say the least.  I just went with it and for the most part and did alright. The ceremony was beautiful. The mariachi band was by far the coolest thing. ;) Pictures followed and then back to the reception hall. I was home by 1am and absolutely exhausted, but it was a great day that I was super honored to be a part of!

Life is beginning to settle down into new routines. The future holds new goals and uncertainties. Overall, all is good and things keep on keepin' on.


P.S.
There are a bunch of shows I'm going to in the coming months. You are more than invited to join me!

Plans and Reveries

Last night I couldn't fall asleep so I put on my iPod and hit shuffle. Around 1am a song called "Plans & Reveries" by Black Gold came on. I must have gotten it for free from one of my many sources. I've heard it maybe twice before and thought it was good but I think I really heard it last night. Seriously, I freaking love it. (There is a part when Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco does some backing vocals, amazing!) So I then went on a little rampage to find out more about the band. I've known about them but never really took the time I guess because I did recognized a few of their other songs. So, please check out this song because I know you won't be sorry!

"PLANS & REVERIES" BY BLACK GOLD

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to just embed an mp3 here and I really didn't want to post the music video so this will have to do.

Still, chugging along on my job search. Not hearing back from anyone is always fun. I'm getting a tiny little baby tax return which should get me through the month. I am going to send out letters to a bunch of music venues basically asking for a job/experience. I sat down and wrote out this cover letter type thing in an email and attached my resume. I don't know how much of a response I'll get but I have to at least try!?
Delta Spirit is on Monday and I'm freaking out a little. It's now a sold out show!

I had lunch with Yesenia on Tuesday. I haven't seen her since her birthday. Well, big news...she is engaged! I got all the details and was asked to be a bridesmaid. The wedding is Feb. 5 2011. It will be my second time in a wedding which is funny because I haven't even attended many weddings. They are pretty special and fun so I'm happy to be a part of it. Congratulations Yesenia!!!

Well I have to go pick up Dillon from school! Bye-bye for now...
