1. I hate the Gorge."Priemier Concert Venue" it is NOT! Folding chairs with masking tape making seat numbers. It's a LONG drive there & back, a LONG walk from the parking lot into the amphetheater, and a LONG wait to get out of the parking lot! (Not to mention the contact high you can't help but getting from all of the stoned RUSH fans!) I am Done with the Gorge for a lifetime! Oh, and it really sucks not getting home after the concert until 3am...I am too old for that!
2. Summer is coming quickly but someone forgot to tell the weather! I am ready for SUN! now!
(It is a good thing we're going to AZ next weekend...we'll get plenty of sun & hot weather there!)
3. We will be having Dave's annual birthday BBQ in June...probably the 21st...I'll keep you posted. In the past we have included a co-ed birthday baseball game. There were too many injuries last year, and Dave decided that 41 is too old to continue that tradition. So- BBQ only this year! :)
4. I have been dying to scrapbook, but just not motivated to go in and deal with my mess that is my craft room. I'd need to clean it just to find the table again. So...here I sit.
5. I am really enjoying watching BNL on HDNet concert series on Direct TV right now. This is WAY BETTER than watching a concert at the gorge! Bare Naked Ladies ROCK! (Especially from the comfort of my own living room were I can oogle Ed up close!) :)

very entertaining! i heard a funny snippet from ed on the land of nod website with my kids. he said he often gets asked by kids why they named their band what they did and he said something to the effect of "it's none of your business!" then he smoothed things over by simply saying, "JK, really, the name just made them all laugh so they decided to use it." it was pretty cute!
here's the link for the BNL podcast!

We will be in Arizona next weekend too. How funny.
I want to go to Arizona too! Since it is June and I am still wearing a jacket! I have always wanted to go to the Gorge. Just the name of it makes it sound like a cool place. Maybe not, since I am not much of a concert goer anyway.
What? I LOVE the Gorge! I can't say I've ever been there for a concert though. I love all the waterfalls, hiking, and it's divine beauty! Nate's family says it's one of the best places in the world for windsurfing.
Seriously, if you want an awesome concert experience, I highly recommend the Red Rocks Ampitheater near Denver, CO. Phenomenal! You and Dave will have to plan a trip there. They also get lots of sun! People there thought we were CRAZY for wanting to move to Seattle.
I want to go to arizona too. My SIL lives there. :) It been way to cold this year. What is up with the weather. Do I need to take another cruise?
I have never been to the gorge. In fact I have only been too 2 concerts in my whole life...Dave matthews and aerosmith (last year). Wanna go to another one. Dang I have been sheltered. :)
had to chuckle at dave's comment that 41 is too old to be having baseball tournaments! too funny!
