where i go

NINwavesillyhead
we walked to this 'park' which is near my house. i'd never walked there before, but it's actually pretty cool. well, i don't think this is actually part of the 'park' but it's interesting nonetheless.

also around town are cherry trees galore! i am compelled to eat at least one lovely, juicy, fresh, ripe cherry from each tree i pass.

steady

i feel like i am way behind on the blogging thing.
preoccupied with other stuff right now.
this pic is from a week ago.

the city out there
sometimes uploading pics just isn't at the top of my priority list.
i enjoy it, but time isn't always readily available for that.
have to play farm town on facebook.
y'know?
it's way addictive.

voyeuristic ally

sometimes my dreams are prophetic.

okay, so more about the third eye blind concert.
i'll be blogging about this for another week probably! ha. oh well.

park me phone
while sitting in the park for a hundred years, waiting leisurely for the concert to start (for five hours!) we listened to third eye blind on the iphone! haha.
setting the mood.

and i voyeuristically snapped surreptitious photos of passersby.

and watched people cool off in the fountain.

even though we got there so early and had our little spot with our blanket and ice chest and shade, once the concert started we were quickly encroached upon by the gathering crowd (free concert in the park) and had to give up our spot only to very soon be packed in tighter than sardines in a can. more like anchovies.

guitar jenkins
i stood on my tiptoes for about an hour straight. i think i still have weird sore muscles in strange areas on my legs. the tops of my feet were really sore. felt bruised that night.

guitar third eye blind
being engulfed by this huge crowd of mostly twenty-somethings was overwhelming at first and i sort of emotionally shut down for a few minutes until some nice people let me put my purse and ice chest and blanket under the chairs they were standing on. they also let me stand on one of their chairs for a few. that small act of kindness helped my mood a bit.

hands out
then i started to enjoy the music and my mood quickly improved. everything didn't seem so hostile anymore. i started to relax and go with the flow. realizing: resistance is futile.

the performance was full of energy and sucked me in along with the crowd. everyone was singing along and it was cool to see how happy people were. people were climbing up into the trees to get a better view. it was a short set. maybe an hour and a half. for a while, jenkins wore a top hat. that was cute. some sort of mad hatter-esque type of thing. most of the pics i tried to get were pretty blurry. these are the best ones.

anyway, i get lazy about uploading pics and doing blog posts... so that's all for now, folks.

oh yeah, i cooked the cornish game hens in the crock pot. perfecto!

so this third eye blind concert i went to was in san jose. it was free. the website said it started at 1PM. we got there at 12:30 or maybe a little earlier and nobody was there. after a while i asked someone if it starts at one. NOPE. 5:30!! aack.
so we sat in the park for almost nine hours, all told. OY vey!!!
anyway.... i'm giving all of this info in increments. dragging it out.

so for anyone reading this... you'll kind of understand what it felt like to go to this concert! we basically went WAY out of our way and suffered much inconvenience for the sake of Third Eye Blind. and to be honest, to ME, the pain endured was rewarded.
