3OH!3 Concert

I got in touch with my inner 16-year-old, high school girl on Wednesday when I attended a 3OH!3 concert. I got a hook up for free tickets from a good friend of mine. So I invited my friend Tanya to be my and one.

We sang at the top of our lungs, threw up some rock hands, and worked our way up to almost the very front. We avoid the mosh pit, fewwww.

All and all it was a very fun show, even if we were the oldest ones there.

Here is some sweet footage at the show.

The B Lister

The other night I got to meet Andrew Keegan, the actor from "10 Things I Hate About You". You know, this guy.

He came into my work and hung out (with a lady friend, darnit) for almost the whole night. He was a pretty cool guy.

He signed a dollar bill for me (which I did not ask for, but he did it anyway). How lucky am I? haha.

One Year Ago

This last weekend I traveled over three passes, 478 miles, and two potty breaks to get back to my beloved college town, Missoula, MT. It was graduation weekend from the University of Montana. I roommate for all of college, and great friend Adria was graduating from grad school with a masters in accounting, and I really wanted to be there to support her. Plus, I knew a bunch of us "class of '09er's" would be there two.

So I loaded up Cindy, who has turned out to be quite the road tripper and headed east. 7 looooong hours later I was there. The beautiful town of Missoula is settled in the Bitterroot Valley and was buzzing with excitement for the weekend's activities.

The weather was beautiful, 80's and sunny. I couldn't have asked for a nicer get-away from the 50s and overcast that was Seattle that weekend. I attended commencement, graduation parties, barbecues, ate at all the "Missoula" places I loved, and of course painted the town red at night.

It occurred to me while listening the annoucer read off names, that it had been a whole year since I was in the cap and gown, excited and nervous about my future. These past 12 months have flown by. So much has changed in my life in one year, I live in a big city, I have two jobs that I love, I am "on my own" in a sense. However, I still feel a little like that careless Senior in college, hanging out with friends, weekend trips, cutting rugs at bars. It is a weird transition phase that I am in right now. I don't mind it though. Much similar to a song I know, Britney Spears "I'm not a girl not yet a women" (yeah, I just quoted BS, don't judge).

With that in mind, I am going to continue what I do and enjoy being a 23 year old, single, recent college graduate. I have plenty of time to "become a woman", but the way these years are flying by, it may happen tomorrow.

Uber Updates

Ahhh... how does life go so fast? I apologize for my hiatus from my blog, but never you worry. Here is an update on the events of this crazy busy life I lead.

Work has brought me some fun/interesting events. Our event list has been picking up more and more as we approach "event season" a.k.a. summer time.

March included the following events: Blue Collar Comedy Tour, WWE Smackdown, lots of Sounders games, Zac Brown Band, George Strait/Reba/Leann Womack Concert, and John Mayer

April flew by like a whirlwind. Events worked in this spring month include: more Sounders games, LMAFO/Ludicrous/Black Eyed Peas concert, DJ Tiesto, and AMA Supercross.

And now, already a week into May, I have worked some pretty cool events: Nickelback, Sounders again, and Lifehouse/Daughtry concert.

I also celebrated my 23rd birthday recently. Gosh, 23 just seems old. A quarter of my life has been lived. To celebrate my this special day, I went to dinner with a few good girl friends at this delicious Italian restaurant that had a live band. I was not ashamed to "play the birthday card" when I asked if they did anything for birthdays. The way the server answered makes me think that they don't normally do anything, but that he wanted to do SOMETHING. So he returned with a plate that had a smiley face made out of raspberry syrup and a candle for my birthday treat.

1,362 calories and one bottle of merlot later we made our way over to a Hawaiian tiki bar appropriately named Hula Hula for some Karaoke and fruity drinks with umbrellas in them. I of course could not say no to serenading the group with my powerful pipes. I sang "Shout", a real crowd pleaser.

On my cab ride home, I forgot to leave the driver a tip for his excellent service of getting me home safe and sound. Refusing to stiff the man but without any cash, I offered him one of my delicious birthday cupcakes. Slightly disgusted he declined and sent me on my way. Oh well, more for me. A day filled with cake, balloons, drinks, and friends is exactly how I wanted to spend my day of birth.

I have also traveled since my last blog. I made a trip over to beautiful Moscow, Idaho to visit my brother Nate. He invited me a year ago to attend his fraternity's spring camp out that they have named "Neanderthal". I accepted the invitation, loaded Cindy (my wheels) up, and hit the I-90 for some weekend camping fun. We found a sweet spot located deep in a canyon just south of Lewiston, Idaho.

We had camp fires, sing-a-longs (adult style), smores, dancing, pick-up baseball games, and plenty of laughs. I am glad I was able to get out of the concrete jungle and enjoy "roughing it" with my brother and his friends.
