Vox Hunt: Oh Baby
Show us an adorable baby.
A few pics from Russia's first Birthday Party!
Ugh!
Over this Labor Bay/birthday weekend, I gained 4 pounds. I'll attribute 1 pound of weight gain to the increased lifting I started doing at the gym. But I have a feeling that the other three were from the constant "all you can eat" marathon over the past 4 days. And there is still plenty of cake left to eat. I really feel like jogging right now.
QotD: Long Weekend
What are your plans for the three day weekend?
Hmm….
Get a Hair Cut (my entire head shaved) later on today. Tomorrow I'll possibly go to the movies, I'd like to see "Babylon A.D.". After that spend a little extra time at the Gym refining my new workout routine. On Sunday, more Gym time and then get a whole lot of sleep. And then Monday is my Birthday!!! Most likely I be treated to dinner traditional birthday dinner at "Hooters". Although I really feel like having some good Pizza. So I'll have to find out where there's a great sit down restaurant that has makes good Pies here in D/FW.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela – Live @ The Bear Tooth in Anchorage
What a show. For just two guitar players, they sure do put on one hell of a show. As I mentioned in my previous post, this show was a last minute Birthday present. We showed to the Bear Tooth all the way from Texas to a "Sold Out" show with no tickets in hand in hopes of scoring some from scalpers or people who might have some extra tickets to get rid of. Well thanks to a kind security guard, we did get tickets at face value.
Inside I did plant myself front and center. As for the show itself, It was fucking incredible. If you listen to their CD you might think your in for a nice and mellow performance. Think again, this was straight up a Rock Concert. Not only did they play the Hell out of their own songs, they also include some covers from Led Zeppelin, Metallica, and Pink Floyd. And their fan interaction was off the chart. They alway were hyping up the crowd to get some energy going. They encouraged the crowd to sing to the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here".
They even pulled a random musician/singer out of the audience in an effort to promote local talent. The girl that came on Stage was named Becky. Rodrigo gave her a Mic, Gabriela gave her guitar, and they let her sing to the crowd. The highlight of the show (for my mom anyways) was that Rodrigo came right down to where we were standing and played the opening to "Stairway to Heaven" as if to serenade my mother, and all of the other girls who rushed the stage right at that moment.
Again, I can't stress how much this show rocked. It was quite possibly the best concert I have been to in a long time. For those who are not familiar with their music, fear not. Just go and have a look at my first post about them and you'll get a real flavor of their style and sound. And if they are playing in your neck of the woods, or hell even if they are not, go and see them live.
Welcome Home
So I'm home. I got back around 11am local time. Today for the most part was just a sit back and relax day. After catching the Red Eye from Anchorage and sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 6 hours, I hardly got any sleep last night. When we landed I came straight home and took care of a few light errands and then took a nap before my sister and her husband showed up for a bit of family fun. So here are just a few pics from the plane trip to Alaska, including what I did to entertain myself for 6 hours. I'll have a better post of the trip and concert tomorrow when I am one year older and wiser.
