Music is my life. Everything can be expressed, handled or just felt more deeply with the right chord or phrase. I have been blessed with some amazing friends and am still at that point where my life is an open book. If you’d like, stick around for a bit and help me write a few chapters…
I was wandering through our new Cost Plus World Market (aka heaven) tonight and found these gorgeous bottles. They almost make me want to start drinking… (Joking, mom! That’s never gonna happen… breathe.) Truth is I just have a radar for anything pink. God made me that way, and I’m pretty cool with it.
Sunday night was the Matt Nathanson show that the gang and I had been eagerly awaiting for what seemed liked years, and as I filter through the images and sounds of that night, I can’t help but want to go back. Front center row… three of my closest friends… great music. It was perfect. The only real complaint I have is the videos we took of most of Matty Nay’s stuff is overwhelmed by the bass… guess there is such a thing as being ‘too close’.
After standing outside the theater for over an hour and a half, we found our way to the front of the stage to hear the opener, Blu Sanders. I’ve said this before, but I never put any faith in the opener especially at small shows like this one. Once again, I was wrong. This guy was phenomenal. All eight songs he played were beautiful. I just wish the crowd would have shut up and gave him their attention.

From the first song to the last, the crowd was completely entertained and maybe just a bit in love with Matty. Despite being sick, the energy he had on stage really fueled the crowd’s enthusiasm (especially during his impromptu rendition of La Bamba). Even Jeff, who wasn’t a huge fan beforehand, walked away with a lil Matty crush. (My words not his 
) I could go on and on and on and on, but I’ll just let the pics and videos speak for themselves.
It’s not often that the four of us are in the same place at the same time. There are so many reasons each of these wonderful people are my closest friends. Plus, look at Jeff’s beard. Who wouldn’t want to be seen with that!

This is the best picture we have ever taken together. Usually we look cracked out.
