Here & There

I have been seriously neglecting my blog the past two weeks. So not okay! Work just got busy and my weekends were filled with concerts and adventures! I have been here and there, flying by the seat of my pants and just going with the flow!

The weekend before last, I celebrate one of my college roommate's birthday in Cinci and then cam home sunday to attempt to go to a concert. my roommate Erin and I scalped tickets to Luke Bryan & Jason Aldean. Not knowing a ton of their songs, I was surprised at how awesome Luke Bryan was live! Same with Aldean of course, but c'mon Luke sings my fave country song "Country Girl (Shake it for me)." It was so much fun and my first ticket scalping experience was a success... I would totally do it again!

Then, last weekend was the Summer Fest concert at Lifestyles Community Pavilion, a smaller outdoor venue. I saw; The Lumineers, Ben Kweller, Tanlines, and Metric. All of which I have only recently begun to listen to and I highly recommend them all :)

And they were all so amazing live! 

{we also kind of sort of snuck into My Morning Jacket Sunday evening.... shhh}

Sibs Weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun! Melyssa, Erin, and I went to a Zach Deputy concert with a co-worker of ours. He's super great with music recommendations! Zach Deputy is a mix of techno with reggae ( I think that describes it? Check it outtt )

And I spent saturday and sunday at UD for sibs weekend visiting my brother! It was weird to be back but fun to hang out with my little bro! Weird being on campus and not knowing all my friends are a porch away... yet fun remember so many wonderful days spent there! We got pizza from Kramers and I found where my roommates and I carved "The Wedge" into the bench (the name of our house)  :)  Then sunday was spent wandering the oregon district for a street festival, which was cool because it was an aspect of Dayton I didn't experience while there.

Spontaneity is healthy

Last tuesday Erin heard that Matt Nathanson would be in town at Newport Music Hall :) He is one of my favorite artists and has been since high school when he opened for O.A.R. Naturally when Erin mentioned it casually in conversation, I freaked out and rushed to finish my work so I could get out early and not miss a thing!! Vanessa Carlton opened for him and all together... it was amazing! It was totally spontaneous and I have wanted to see him in concert since... forever!! It made for quite a memorable little adventure!! Hence... on this dreary tuesday morning, a week later, I'm wishing I had something similar to look forward to after work today!

Eee!! He was so great up there jamming with his guitar!!!! :)
