We just rolled in from the
Bridge School Benefit concert, and without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was
Pearl Jam and
Billy Idol, with the low point being
Kris Kristofferson, although in his defense, he was supposed to play with
Merle Haggard, who fell ill and canceled. Either way, it was a good time, even though it started raining a few times, but we came prepared with a tarp and plastic sheeting, so everybody stayed dry.
Later, we're going to run some errands, possibly meet up with Adam, or maybe get a case of the lazies and plop in the couch and watch stuff on the DVR. We'll see how we feel when we wake up...

The weekend is upon us, and we are getting ready for an open-air concert this weekend. The weather has been sketchy for the past few days, and rain is expected. We've decided to buy some plastic sheeting in case it starts pouring on Saturday. The funny thing is that the venue frowns upon smokers (I light the occasional Marlboro), but getting baked on weed is perfectly acceptable.
Last night we watched some more Smallville, Sons Of Anarchy, The Event, and No Ordinary Family. If we get time over the weekend we may check out a movie, like
Red or
Life as We Know It.
