day 1 of 2012

Happy New Year! It was a low-key NYE for us, which was really relaxing. We went to go see Mayer Hawthorne & The County at the Cosmopolitan last night, which was way better than braving the crazy crowds the night before. It was such a great show and a great way to cap off the first day of 2012.

2 days down, 363 to go! Here's to a great year ahead.

Neon Indian on stage--taken with the Retro Camera app on my Android phone. (this app takes photos like my new Blackbird TLR camera, which I still haven't used using the full frame setting...so this will have to do for now)  
I was too busy dancing to take a pic of Chromeo!

band of horses + admiral radley

Some photos from last night's Band of Horses show. It was probably the best live show I've seen in a very long time. Admiral Radley kind of surprised me, even though I love both Earlimart and Grandaddy, I wasn't sure how the indie rock hybrid would sound live...but they were pretty damn good. 

BoH opened with "Our Swords" which apparently they had never done before...and they closed the show with  "No One's Gonna Love You" and "The General Specific". Such a great show, I'm so glad I finally got to see them live. 

gazing out through windows and lenses

Been insanely busy lately in every aspect of life...I'm starting to feel like a caged animal of some sort. I can't wait to get a much-needed break. I just realized it's been weeks since we went anywhere and that needs to change soon. It's crazy how one can get so caught up in the daily grind and seemingly forget how to just relax altogether...yikes.

Speaking of crazy...I'm actually dragging myself out to a club on a Wednesday night to see some DJs do a tribute for the late DJ AM. It's nearly unheard of for me these days (yes, I've morphed into some old married lady) , so I guess it's going to be a Redbull kind of day tomorrow at work. Sugar-free, of course.

Hope everybody has a great rest of the week...I'll try to post/take more pics soon.

phoenix (not arizona)

Getting excited to see Phoenix LIVE tonight at the Hard Rock. Yet another reason why I love France so much.
