R.E.M.

This was my first R.E.M. concert, and I have to say, I was simply amazed. I know R.E.M. is a huge rock band, and now I know why they deserve to be.

They put on an amazing show, and here are some of the pictures of our fantastic day & night in Berkeley.

Tracy and I as we are leaving Reno.

In Amoeba Records with the new R.E.M. CD, Accelerate.

Why, hello, lovely cup of wine.

Our view.

Modest Mouse! I danced to "Dance Hall" & "Dashboard" like a mad woman.

I am waiting patiently for R.E.M.

Oh, and To Rub It In

Tracy and I are going to see R.E.M. and Modest Mouse in Berkeley!!!!!!!!!

Yes, we ARE that cool.

And Ani is on Thursday!

The Best Thing to Come Out of This Weekend

is this picture.


No, but seriously kids. I had a great time this weekend, listening to some great bands with my friends. And getting hit on left and right. Sometimes a girl just needs to be flirted with.

And maybe a little too many Jack and Cokes?

Concert Number 1 of the Year

As mentioned in an earlier post, I went to see the Foo Fighters on Friday night. I went with Paul (my boss' husband); their friend Gilbert; and Jordan, Cheryl & Paul's son. I felt so cool as I was the only girl! When we got there, I noticed that the male to female ratio was at least 100:1. It was crazy!

I didn't even have to wait in line to the bathroom. When has that every happened at a concert?

I have never been a big Foo Fighters fan, but they put on a pretty amazing rock show; one I was happy to have gone to. They rock, and have really great songs. I was very surprised.

Against Me! put on a great little set, too. Overall, it was a thrilling experience. And the next day I went out and bought me the newest Foo CD I could find.

Happy Birthday to Me

OK, so as everyone knows, my birthday is kind of a big deal. I start talking about it, oh I don't know... This is January, so about 3 1/2 months in advance. But this is super exciting!

When I came home from scrapbooking tonight, Heather told me that she saw Ani DiFranco on the sign at Lawlor Events Center. I decided to look her up and see when she is coming to town. ON MY BIRTHDAY! Yep!

So, I ran through the list:

1) I saw Tori Amos on my birthday in San Jose with Tracy.

2) I saw U2 on my birthday in San Jose with Heather.

3) And now I get to see Ani on my birthday here in Reno!
