A typical downtown Tuesday evening!

Back in July Doug and I were hanging out and this is our conversation (paraphrased of course):

D:  Hey let's get tickets to see Gillian Welch!
Me: Okay, where at? . . .  Who is she?
D: She's got a bluegrass sound, similar to Alison Krauss probably. . . she's going to be at the Paramount in August!!
Me: Okay, well consider the tickets purchased!

And that's how it all started!  I went online and purchased said tickets, good seats and started to listen to her on grooveshark.com. 

Fast Forward to last night:
We got home from work and Doug rushed to get on his "country attire". (we really should invest in some cowboy boots and country outfits) He then comes into the living room and states that I should hurry our wings are waiting on us at Stateline!  : )

So of course I rush to change and then we walk down to Stateline for some pre-show wings and beer!  We had whiskey wings and bud light lime for dinner.  Seven-thirty came all to quick so we paid our bill and continued to the concert.

An evening with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings started around 7:15p.m. and played to a full house at the Paramount!  They were great!  What a great sound they have! 

Doug even purchased a wonderful autographed poster that we are excited to display with our Rhythm & Roots posters!



Thanks Gillian and Dave!  It was a wonderful show!  You have prepped us for the 2011 Rhythm & Roots Reunion!!!

Weekend recap: friends, food and pawn stars!

Friday night:  I headed down to GNO at Blowfish Emporium.  We brought a few appetizers and our own adult beverages, all picked random things to paint and laughed the evening away.

Afterwards Brandie and I met up with Doug and Rocky for some dinner at Stateline!  What a fabulous night!

Saturday:  Peaches has been barking about wanting the wind in her hair for sometime now - so Doug and I thought we'd let her live out her dream for a while.  We let her test drive a 4 door jeep wrangler.  We had to see if it would get us to all the farmer's markets you know!  Then we met up with Ed for some ribs and beer at the Wing Doctor and headed home for an afternoon nap!  The evening was filled with Pawn Stars, nieces and laughter.

Sunday:  Another lazy day!!  Sunday was filled with more Pawn Stars (I had to catch up to Doug's spot), some great steaks and potatoes we'd picked up at the farmer's market and a nice Rioja!  We topped it off with a nice family walk downtown!

Now we are ready for a fun filled week!

WELCOME!

For a while now I've wanted to start a blog, so here goes nothing - right??

I'm not a great writer, story teller or even the best speller.  But hopefully my descriptions about our adventures in life will be enough to captivate our audience!

Today I started a blog!  What have you done new today?
