God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You - Put It In the Soul of Everyone

Hi everyone!! Ugh! I totally don't mean to be neglecting the ol' blog here but I have been busy busy busy! Just hang on a little longer and I will get back to a more regular schedule.

Last night my dad and I went to a concert:

Pop Evil, Theory of a Deadman, and 3 Doors Down!

Can I just tell you that it was AMAZING! I am so happy I was able to see 3 Doors Down as I have been a fan since day 1!!!

Here are a couple pictures of 3DD that I got with my camera phone. I took some really great pictures of all the bands with my camera but I don't have it AND the camera cord right now.

  

oh and just for laughs:

It is hard to make out but this 'couple' wasn't a couple when they showed up -- I'm pretty sure they didn't even know one another. I'm not against finding someone at a bar -- to each their own.  My issue with this particular couple is that they were grinding to Theory of a Deadman's Bitch Came Back as well as their remake of Cocaine (originally by Eric Clapton).  Seriously -grinding?? Then they were licking -- yes licking -- each other during one of the 3DD songs. So moral of the story kids, make sure the friend you take with you doesn't let you have a night where you will wake up the next morning and think "WTF?!" Her friend was definitely NOT looking out for her lol

I hope you're having an amazing week!

What was the last concert you went to??

Using a Torch to Make S'mores is Best

Hi! So I wanted to talk about some of the things J and I did this weekend that did NOT involve having the truck hit haha =)

Saturday night we went to House of Blues to a concert for my dad's birthday. 

The opening band was amazing!  They are Anchored

They were super friendly and loads of fun.  They have been together for a year and a half and are already opening at HOB!! I love their music and they have THE most enthusiastic bassist EVER. I can't wait to see what they do in the future.

The second band was Cold...i didn't really like their music. Or their performance for that matter.  They were very good live -- well they sounded good. BUT they were very depressing and dark and I just wasn't feeling it.

The headlining band that we bought the tickets to see was Volbeat

   

They are incredible live. The lead singer sounds amazing live -- as good as the cd. That is always such a relief for me. I can't listen to bands if I find out they are horrible live. You HAVE to be really good live, otherwise I know that you aren't a great performer - that a lot of technology goes into the way your cds sound.

At the end of the night -- the birthday boy looks so happy =)

We had some drinks before we left the house -- I had two then at HOB I had two more...for those who don't know me, understand that 4 drinks for me in a 5 hour time frame is, sad to say, a LOT for little ol' me haha! Needless to say I was definitely buzzed...which was confirmed the next morning when I woke to look through my pictures and found I took 140 the night before -- most of which were taken between 9:30-12:30!! haha Hilarious!

My parents took J and I to Perkins at 12:30am after the concert and it was AMAZING! haha I always want breakfast food when I have been drinking -- especially french toast/pancakes!

Walking into Perkins

I told J that I probably won't ever go to another large venue to see a concert -- HOB was just WAY too much fun!!

Sunday night, while watching Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (which was UNBELIEVABLY cute!!), J and I both got a craving for some s'mores.  We have a glass top stove and we have a gas grill. J didn't feel like firing up the grill so I suggested the microwave. That was deemed lame so J went to his work truck and pulled out a torch.

Yeah -- this happened =)

Do you like going to big crazy concerts?

or do you prefer small, intimate venues?

Have you ever made s'mores using something unconventional -- like a torch?
