Earth Days were the worst days now we drink ...

Tip left to go to JazzFest. KFish had the day off so we decided the best way to celebrate Earth Day was to starting drinking at noonish and then head to Sundown in the City, which takes place in Market Square in Knoxville. KFish is all jealous of my cool Sam Adams margarita glass.
We went to the courtyard cafe for our first drinks of the day due to the MegaTouch. We put in $5 and went to town. Only downpart was that they didn't have Nekkid Photohunt. :(
She was practicing the new name.
Next stop was Sidestreet Tavern. I wanted hear Human and I put on another song but don't remember which one. Although i do know that I was digging the music even though KFish probably wasnt.
Go Vols. On the Strip in Knoxville.
Arriving at Sundown in the City. We went to P-Pub to get some drinks.
Masses.
We love standing on the side of the stage.

Nama for sushi and beers and sake. yum.

Sake!!!!!

After Nama, we heading back to Market Square to see Superdrag. They were entertaining. We left downtown to go home around 9ish. I was sleeping by 945. haha. It was a great Earth Day. We tried to be as green as possible all day. haha.

Boone, NC for P-Groove

On Tuesday (4-20) at 1:30 am, I departed LA for 2 weeks to go to Knoxville and Charleston. Those cities were the primary destinations. Knoxville to hang out with KFish for the week before her nuptials and Charleston the destination for the wedding. I landed in Memphis at 7:30 am Central Time. I changed planes and landed in Knoxville at 11 am Eastern. KFish picked me up and we got BBQ. yum. I went back to the house with the good intention of napping because that night we were heading to Boone, NC to see a Perpetual Groove show. (Please refer to one of my earlier posts regarding PGroove) I decided to turn on the TV to fall asleep to. Well that was a mistake. (Un)Fortunately there was a 16 and pregnant marathon on. I couldn't turn away from it for 6 hours and even when Tip was like we have to go to the show, I was mad I couldn't finish watching the one show. Dang. So no sleep for me. We picked up KFish and drove 3 hours to Boone, NC. It was a pretty awesome little town. Stayed at the Hampton Inn. The venue we went to see the show at was on campus (ASU- not Arizona but Appalacian), therefore they didn't serve alcohol but you could bring your own 6 pack. Also the venue was in an old Winn Dixie. Pretty cool.
The Hippies (I mean the college kids) waiting for the show.
KFish's Jescoe cozee along with our punch card that we got for our 6 packs. Also, when I got carded walking in the door, the doorguy who must have been all of 18 or 19 was from Long Island. So I got sucked into a convo (but not really cuz I love talking about LI- haha)
Where we dropped off our 6 packs.
"Backstage" at the show.
KFish and I with the band behind us.
The happy couple. Tip and Kristen.
The crowd wanting more. Encore. Encore.
I was watching some of the Suns game near this side of the stage so I decided to take a picture. They last longer you know.

LA Livin...

Most of you know already but I am posting it nonetheless. I live in LA now. This East Coaster has now become a West Coaster. It all started with the 2010 Census. I'll post pics of the apartment at a later date. I want everyone to come and visit. Also, if you have friends out in LA, I need numbers people. Don't let me down. Love Love Love.

Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer tiddly beer beer beer.

St Pats Day. It was a glorious day. I went to Robert Moses to read a book for a bit and enjoy the gorgeous day. The water was still really high from the storm. There was hardly any beach left.
Andrea came to meet me and enjoy the weather.
We had no idea what this could be. It was soft and spongy.
Andrea was a good friend and brought a 6 pack of Blue Point. Yum.
Seems like someone else was enjoying alcoholic beverages. Who knows why she was drinking in the bathroom but who am I to judge.
Nothing says St Patricks Day like a dinner at Kotobuki. Yum sake bombs and fried oysters. amazing.
This is our sushi for one. It can feed a whole army. this picture makes my mouth water.
After dinner we went to the Post Office to get some more drinks. While we were there a Pipes and Drum band came in to play. AWESOME!!!!
This kid said this was the only green shirt he owned. seriously? a stop and shop shirt. i thought it was pretty athletic that he actually wore it out.
Matt, Me and Sam enjoying our St Pats.
Sam, David and Me. So my St Pats was quite fun. I know I am super delayed in posting but will try to update more frequently!!! xoxo

Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of...

Good old Southern State Parkway at dusk. Loads of traffic for no reason. At least the sunset was pretty.
Went out to the Riverhead aquarium where the price of admission is $22 plus tax. rip off. Megan got a coupon for $2 off admission. The woman tried to only take off $1. I responded with get your manager. ahh yes. i argued for my $1.08.
Grand Central station. love love love the ceiling.
busy at all times of the day.
lombardis for amazing pizza. i could eat there every day but alas could not afford to drink there on a daily basis since pitchers are $20. although i went to Brother Jimmys and the pitchers there were $22.
The Brooklyn Bridge (in the background). It was a cold, windy and wet day. Decided against walking across the bridge due to the fear of catching pneumonia.
Pound and Pence. Found it after walking around in the cold and rain with a broken toe for almost 20 minutes. I always seem to get lost downtown and I had been to the bar before. Igor and David deep in conversation.
it's a barry sandwich. the drinks had been flowing.
times square on a super wet night in march.
David's first time at MSG. We asked if we could peek into the arena but alas the guy said no. boo to that guy.
March 13, 2o10- Nassau Coliseum- Islanders v. Devils. Thank you to Frank for getting us tickets 3 rows from the ice and right next to where the Devils entered the rink. Brodeur- the Devils starting goalie sat right next to us and watched the entire game. Guess the Olympics took a lot out of him.
Right by the action. I would jump every time a player would hit the glass. A puck got flipped over the glass and hit the little girl's ponytail that was sitting in the front row. Luckily it wasn't going that fast and she wasn't hurt. Great souvenir.
Sunday March 14- went down to Jones Beach to see what it looked like after the storm.
Sunday March 14, 2010- Connie and Bryan's Wedding at the Fox Hollow Country Club. I had a great time. Although, I couldn't dance as much as I wanted to due to my toe. The food was really good but the company was even better.
The beautiful couple dancing their first dance. Connie's dress was gorgeous.
Connie looked gorgeous. Bryan looked quite dapper himself.
Laura and I. Seems like yesterday that we were freshman.
Nidhi, Laura and I. It had been too long since we had seen each other.
i think we clean up real nice!!!
Connie did a quick change into her traditional Chinese wedding dress. Loved the colors.
Me, the happy couple, Connie's drink and a pretzel. Towards the end of the reception they had pretzels, popcorn and cotton candy. so cool.
