Mumford and Sons

A couple of months ago I came across a band called Mumford and Sons. They have very quickly become one of my favorites! While their show tonight at the Record Bar is sold out (UGH!) I was able to see them (very briefly) at the Firefly Lounge this morning. They are amazing performers, they sound fantastic live.
However...we did wait 4 hours to watch them play 3 songs. Insanity. The first few hours weren't too bad...but the last hour was painful. For some reason there didn't appear to be any airflow at the Lounge and it was like standing in a sauna. We had sweat pouring off of us. Not fun. But once they showed and started playing, it was all good. This was a Kegs and Eggs free show through 96.5 The Buzz.
But let me say this! My friend Lauren has mad navigational skills through a crowd. When we arrived at around 5:30 we were in line behind hundreds of people. And yet when we got into the packed lounge, she walked us through the crowd and right up to the stage. Like some sort of miracle. It really made the wait worthwhile to be that close for the performance! I was standing about 2 feet in front of Marcus Mumford. Almost too close to take pictures. Awkwardly close. haha But it was very very enjoyable. Thank you so much Lauren and Melissa for sweating waiting with me! :-)

This girl stood and read her book for a couple of hours while we waited. A great idea actually...

They had some (very brave and/or inebriated) people come on stage to do a capella karaoke for prizes while we waited for the band to arrive.

A Day with Christie

We have both been so busy it seems like forever and a day since we got to hang out...plus we had to cancel our last play date when Christie's daughter was sick. Then Evey was sick and I was afraid we were going to have to cancel again. Luckily - Evey recovered quickly and Christie and I were free to spend the day together. Lunch, shoot, and a movie! It was so much fun.

We ate at one of my favorite restaurants...Cafe Verona. I highly recommend. :-)

I was laughing so hard here - I'm amazed these aren't completely blurry...

She's up!

But apparently Christie had her heart set on getting more vertical to match the sign. So I tried to offer assistance. Fail! We ended up just going for a different (less physically demanding) interpretation of the sign...(maybe the short and the tall? ha)

(Thank you Christie...I haven't laughed that hard in awhile! :-)
