Your new music is POP GAY! Oh man, I'm probably the only one that finds this hilarious, but I do.
I'm also about to open up a Myspace account to see if Gavin really does respond to every single one of his messages. He's such a liar. I am going to have to catch his attention with a shocking subject title. TWAT. Yes, that's a good one. And British to boot.
I'll keep you all abreast.
Update: He wasn't lying. OMG. I am trying very hard not to bust out into a full fledged fangirl episode. Very.hard.
On Wednesday, Augi and I along with my in-laws went to see Pearl Jam live at the Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach. It was a very generous gift from my father-in-law who shares the same love for live music as his two kids. We were also celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday.
Kings of Leon opened and I was blown away. I've always loved KOL, but wasn't so sure how they would perform live mainly due to the singer's unique voice. Wow, they were amazing. Completely went above my expectations. I hope they come on their own tour nearby soon because I would love to see them headlining. They definitely left me wanting more.
*sorry for the shaky video, trying to dance and film at the same time apparently doesn't work.
Pearl Jam started off a little slow mostly due to the fact that they played all their new stuff. Augi and I both didn't recognize any of it. But all of a sudden they kicked it into high gear with I believe Even Flow and that was the end of it. We were all singing at the top of our lungs and dancing around. It was freaking fabulous and a total 90's flashback, which all of you know I love. They played two encores and eventually had the house lights turned on them - I really thing they would have kept playing otherwise. It was just a great show. It would have been a freaking amazing show had it not been at that amphitheater. I really really detest that place, but everyone goes there so I have no other choice but to go time and time again. The lawn is gross, people are up in your business, everything is $500 (exaggeration) and the acoustics SUCK.
Sorry to get off on my I-hate-Cruzan Amphitheater-tirade, but I just had to put it out there. But back to the show. It was glorious. Check out some of the video I was able to get:
Unfortunately, this marked the end of my summer concert series for now. I am hoping some more amazing bands stop by soon. I'm currently playing the watch & wait game with Stone Temple Pilots. They just announced a show in August at the Hard Rock, but I'm waiting for ticket info. I saw them about 6 years back for free on South Beach and they were ridiculously good. I hope I'll be able to see them again!
So I stumbled upon the most genius idea on the web a couple of weeks ago and it's called Wists.
What is a wist, you say? Well, it is toted as being "social shopping." It is basically an online wishlist that you can post to your blog that works similar to adding a bookmark.
And I have discovered this genius tool at the most perfect time: A little over a month before my birthday!!!
So I've been busy collecting items and filling out my wist page. Soon it'll be robust enough to be posted on my sidebar, but for now I leave you with a link.
The only downside I see to this service is that you cannot add any items off of Crate & Barrel and/or CB2. Ew. Not a fan of that. Especially since I have so many wishful items on both of those sites. But gift cards are always welcome! ;)
So this weekend was very home-oriented. Or rather, bathroom-oriented.
When we moved in, we ripped out the hideously 70's Master Bath and well....just never redid it! So we've had a huge gaping hole for almost 3 years now. Horrible, we know. We thought it was about time.
Thanks to IKEA, we now have a pretty kick ass bathroom if I may say so myself. It was a lot of hard work, but it definitely paid off. Next we were thinking of painting the walls a very light mint green. What do you guys think?
This is a ridiculously amazing acoustic version of Bush's Letting the Cables Sleep that was performed by Gavin during AOL sessions. Now this needs to be released!!!!
My fabulous videographer, Artistry Wedding Films, sent me a link to my wedding movie this afternoon. I was warned not to watch it until my DVD arrives tomorrow, but I have no self control. I saw the email on my iphone while driving home and sped the rest of the way to park myself in front of my computer and watch.
I was definitely not disappointed. The video is freaking a-ma-zing. It managed to capture the exact emotions I felt that day, but had forgotten. It was great to see all the special people in our lives and their reactions to our day. Little things like guests laughing at what we had written in our programs about the bridal party, parents crying during the ceremony and people really getting down and dirty on the dance floor.
It was just such a special day and I realized that it really was the happiest day of my life so far. Everything I felt that day was so amplified - my little heart was filled with so much love. For all those brides-to-be reading this blog, I can honestly say without any doubt in my heart that it is worth all the stress. Trust me.
And without further ado, I present my wedding movie. I warn you, it is about 40 minutes long, so get comfortable.
For the first time in my 26 years, I have joined a gym. 24 Hour Fitness to be exact. Here's to hoping I can get my ass in gear and in shape. We are planning to take a cruise in November for our one year anniversary so I definitely have to be in perfect bikini shape by then! Now I just need to buy workout clothes and sneakers.
For those of you that are interested in how our Dharma labels came out last week for the Lost season finale, you can see them here. How fabulous was that Season Finale? Three words: Des & Penny!!!!!! Squee!
