BurnOut

I think I stopped doing anything interesting, and then I got out of the habit of updating the blog. But last weekend, we did something interesting! And, we're getting ready to do more interesting things!!

SO last weekend, we decided to go to the Taste of Colorado festival... it's in Denver every Labor Day, and lots of restaurants and vendors set up booths for food, games, and freebies. The festival was less awesome than I hoped it would be, but it didn't matter, because we really went out there for the FREE NIGHT RANGER CONCERT!! That's right, Night Ranger, the band that brought us Sister Christian in the 80's. Sister Christian just so happens to be one of my favorite cheesy 80's songs, so we went with 2 other grad students to check it out. Night Ranger definitely did not disappoint! They were really friendly and happy to be there, and they played all of their big hits at the end of the evening. While it left me restless during the early parts of the concert waiting for the good stuff (refer to the video below), we were totally energized and singing when we headed back to get the car. What a fun night!

This weekend, we're going to the wedding of a very good high school friend of Brent's (Yay, Jessie and Rob!), which we will be attending with more of Brent's very good high school friends, and then I get to travel the coast up to Mendocino with my Mama, and THEN I will hopefully get to see my bro. Plus, I will hopefully get some girlfriend time in. I am SO looking forward to everything! I promise to return with more news, more pictures, and more frequent posts in a week. Until then, enjoy this video of Homer Simpson at a concert, which my officemate predicted would be me at Night Ranger!
