The week.

It's been a busy week..Tuesday night Dan took me to see the Foo Fighters at the Izod Center in NJ. As Dan likes to say, he doesn't go to Jersey for just any concert. He has to really like the band. And it was well worth it. Though it was a long night, they were great. They even played some acoustic numbers in the middle of the set, which I am always a fan of. Dan saw them a few months back at MSG and they had almost the exact same set list, so he was pretty stoked that they did the acoustic portion again, because he knows that's my thing.

Then Wednesday night we went to see a show that a coworker/friend of mine wrote. Essentially, he was working with an organization that uses alternative sentencing methods to help young adults who've made some bad decisions. There were five young men involved. The piece was created from the improv work they did as a group, and the story was written out and shaped through that process over the past 10 weeks. Dan and I were both excited to go support them, and I got a bit teary-eyed afterwards during the talk-back, listening to them talk about their experience.

Last night Dan took me to see an Australian singer/song-writer, Missy Higgins, at Webster Hall. We had margaritas (oh how I needed that)and some free food beforehand at this cool Mexican bar with a great happy hour. It was a great evening. Again, I was exhausted, and I am realizing I'm not built to go out (mind you, they aren't even "late" evenings!) that many nights in a row. However, it was really cool to see her again. I was introduced to her music right after I moved to the city---my first job at the ticket/box office was ushering at a Missy concert, and I turned out buying her album because I loved the music.

So, after all of that, tonite I am going to lay low. Dan has a new friend who pretty much has his ideal job in the music business/doing charts, etc. So he invited Dan to see Maroon 5/Counting Crows tonite. I was going to tag-along, but then realized I would probably be cranky after the long week, and I want him to really enjoy it. So, I'll be ordering chinese, and enjoying his new flatscreen tv while he's out! Looking forward to it. :o)
