Mundane and Fun.

So this weekend I basically relaxed. Only going where I needed to go and doing what I needed to do. I had some ideas of plans but I ended up thinking sleeping in was better. (That and watching trashy television but we won't go there. I'm kind of ashamed of the shows I picked up. Well, one show, the other one I've watched in the past.) I went grocery shopping (I just capitalized the g in grocery, apparently my subconscious thought it was an important activity) mowed the lawn, cleaned, talked to family and made an angel food cake.

Oh yeah, and last evening, I saw the Weepies. I have loved them since I heard their song "World Spins Madly On" and I love Deb Talan all by herself. Double win. And I love zoo concerts because they're cheap and they bring in amazing artists. Granted you may not necessarily get a great view but I'm really there for the music. And see? You can see them on stage, even if they are tiny. (see below)

I just wish I had known who was in their line up earlier because I would have done my damndest to see Marc Cohn. I love me some Marc Cohn, so much so he's been one of my favorite artists since Middle School. I think I should have taken it as a hint when I was swapping cassettes with my Science teacher Mr. Costa in 8th grade. (True story)

They were the opening act and the headliner was Amiee Mann who's I'm sure a great artist but the only song I know by her is "Voices Carry" from 1985. I clearly have not kept up on her music and so even though it was a concert on a Sunday night (it started at 6pm) I felt no volition to stay to listen to her (Sorry Amiee! But I don't really think I hurt her feelings. Did I mention how cheap tickets were?) So I got to hear The Weepies, one of my favorite bands and get home early to go to bed for work today. Yes I know this makes me lame and old. But again I felt no need to listen to Amiee unless she would have been opening for The Weepies and then I would have gladly listened to her.

Happy Monday all. Pictures below.
