In good news the weather has finally warmed up!!! After a crazy snowstorm on Monday, it's finally getting warmer. Today was 68 degrees :) and I couldn't be happier. We went out for a lovely brunch at this Mexican restaurant and we sat outside in the sunshine. I felt like I was in L.A. or something. Then we went to the park where I rode around on my bicycle. Now I am sitting in my apartment with all the windows open, and I may or may not be watching a Harry Potter movie marathon... (okay, I am!)
I had to tell you about my concert experience last night. Now I love going to see concerts, in fact, back in Vegas my friends and I would go all the time! So when I heard that Missy Higgins was playing in Manhattan, I promptly purchased my ticket. I met my friends Amber and Sara at the venue. I had to walk there (1.74 miles), the weather was nice so I didn't mind. The tickets said 7:00, which I took to mean that it started at 7:00... No, it meant they doors opened at 7:00. So we had to wait outside with all of these other crowds of people (and smokers, ew!). Then we waited inside for what seemed like forever before the show started. The opening act was this cute Australian girl, Lenka. Then it was this cute American/Asian boy Justin Nozuka. Then Missy Higgins came on- hours later! By this point I was completely annoyed with everyone around me. There is no such thing as personal space in a venue like this, but people were just being ridiculously up in my business. The other issue was my feet. I am not accustomed to standing for long periods of time and my feet were KILLING me! (pathetic, I know). I was also hungry and ready to leave. Then it occurred to me! I AM GETTING OLD!!! I wasn't like this before. I didn't understand people that would leave before the encore. Or why they complained about being shoved around. Now i was one of them!!! Also keep in mind that this isn't some "wild" rock concert. It was all very mellow music- anything you find on your light, adult music station. And I couldn't even handle THAT!
Anyhow, we made it through the concert (and the encore) then we limped our way to an overpriced diner (the only thing open) and scarfed on greasy food and chocolaty drinks. I didn't get home until 2:30AM, and I felt like an old lady! But, the concert was great. She put on a good show and I really liked it- after all was said and done.
In other sad news, my sister hasn't been feeling well. To read more about it: http://brandonrobison.net/2009/03/06/ashleys-ordeal/. Feel better Ash!
I also included a link to Heather and Nathan's new blog. Check out their cute little boys!

Oh my gosh, I know the feeling! Evan and I went to a Metallica concert back in October and it was the same kind of thing. Granted that WAS a hard rock concert, we were up with the mellow people in the seats, not down in the crazy pits of anything. Over all I loved it and would go again but it's just not the same as I remember. And every time I think about how close 30 is getting *eek*! Luckily you're still a bit behind in the numbers game but not far enough to hide form it. It won't be long before we are using words like whipper snapper, sonny, and teeny bopper! Yikes. Are you feeling a little anxious because you have a birthday fast approaching??
