It’s official that my parents and my grandmother are moving to Colorado next month. My brother left to attend school in Scotland, and it doesn’t seem like he’s planning on coming back here. Chris’s sister might be moving to California soon. Everyone is leaving us! So Chris and I are wondering if it was something we said?

Radiohead at Nissan Pavilion (in the Rain)
Chris’s all-time favorite band is Radiohead, and we went to see them last night at Nissan Pavilion. We had less-than lovely weather yesterday (torrential downpours, 50 degrees, flooding, road closures everywhere due to the flooding) and for anyone who is unfamiliar with Nissan Pavilion, it’s an outdoor venue. We actually had seats in the “covered” area of the pavilion, but because of the wind blowing the rain sideways, we kept getting rained on anyway. By the time we got to our seats it really didn’t matter if we were in a covered area or not, because we had already trudged through the huge parking lot-turned-swamp and we were totally soaked. For some reason their lot isn’t paved, it’s just a giant gravel/mud area, so it literally was swampy, with unavoidable ankle-deep puddles. Check out my genius shoe choice (I didn’t know it would be so puddley!):
Even in the covered area, people wore ponchos and hooded raincoats (or even trashbags). We sat under an umbrella until the show started.
We actually only ended up staying for six or seven songs. My feet were so cold I actually started to wonder what the symptoms of frostbite are. The rain just wouldn’t let up, and we were still getting pelted where we were sitting, so we made the decision to go. There were plenty of hard-core fans in the lawn section that stayed, even sans umbrella! The part of the show that we did get to see was really good. They had an awesome light show choreographed perfectly with the music.
Both soaked from head-to-toe, wearing winter coats because it was around 50 degrees and windy, but still smiling!

Steve & Jodie – 5.3.08
I just have time for a really quick blog post and I wanted to share some images of Steve and Jodie’s beautiful wedding that I second-photographed for Jesssica Del Vecchio last Saturday. Jess has tons of amazing photos on her blog, and you simply must stop by to get the full story and all of the details. She’s obviously an awesome photographer, but also a great storyteller!

Misheard Lyrics
This might be one of those you-had-to-be-there things, but it cracked me up so I’ll try to explain it. Chris and I were on our evening walk around the neighborhood tonight, and I said something about how the same people were out as when we were on our walk last night. We’re creatures of habit and like to leave at the same time everyday. So Chris, in one of his silly moods, sang, “These are…the people that you meet…when you’re walking in the street.” And I laughed, and asked what that was from. He said it was a line from some song.
It took me a few seconds, and then I got it. We were laughing once we realized the real lyrics. Do you know what 80s song he was trying to sing? Click here for the answer!
