Bonfire In The Canyon

Saturday night a small group of friends got together for a bonfire in the canyon. For some it was an escape from finals, for others, a chance to catch some rockin’ guitar, and for others yet it was a chance to roast marshmallows with sunglasses on and stand in the fire.

All in all it was a wonderful event. Harry, Joe and Richie got to jam out while we got to listen to classics like I’m A Hard Man To Love, Fickle Tickle, Monsters In My Head, Limo Larry and more.

Oh and another thing…has anyone ever tried Reese’s Peanut Butter cups in s’mores? AMAZING. Thanks, Sarah, for the tip. Here’s a shot of Sarah and Harry sandwiching a roasted PB cup and marshmallow that came dangerously close to melting into the fire:

Kristie’s received an assignment from her humanities class to listen to a piece of music and use it as inspiration for an “abstract expressionist painting.” Gotta love general ed classes. She chose Regina Spektor’s lighthearted, quirky On The Radio (watch/listen on Youtube here.) The result?

A regular puff-paint Picasso.

The Bravery

A while back I got some free tickets to a show from a local radio station. The show featured sets from Story of the Year and The Bravery.

For Kristie, watching Story of the Year was like a trip down high-school-memory-lane. I say that because most of their fans were in high school themselves and dressed so emo it hurt. Not that Kristie was into that scene or anything, but Eagle High apparently was.

The Bravery put on a pretty good show, however. They’re another new-wave, indie rock outfit, hailing from Brooklyn. Fun times, and best of all, it was free-ninety-nine.
