"They're some kind of Brazilian band"....

said the girl on her cell phone in the bathroom minutes before they took stage. Saturday night Drake and I went to see the Brazilian Girls live at the Ogden Theatre. Contrary to their name, this band has one female member and none are Brazilian. This was absolutely one of the best shows I have ever seen! The energy, sex appeal and thumping beats were far more superb than anything I expected. Sunday night we went to see The Decemberists at the Fillmore Auditorium, and though they are no Brazilian Girls, they too put on an excellent show.
Oh, the music and arts Denver attracts!

old and new families

The past few weeks have been filled with family, friends, love and festivities. My parents visited a couple weekends ago; it was their first time in Denver. I dragged them all over the city to show them my favorite spots and also spent a day in the mountains showing off the beautiful Rockies. We had a wonderful time.

This past weekend I was a bridesmaid in my longtime friend, Jess', wedding. Not only was it the first time I had been part of a wedding party, but this was by far the most elaborate wedding I have been to (think southern-hospitality, old-money, Atlanta-style). I was so honored to be part of it and couldn't be happier for the bride and groom (Ed). My favorite part of the weekend was seeing and being with my best friends.

I've uploaded photos of both weekends. Jess and Ed had a couple great photographers at their event so hopefully I'll be able to add those when they come out. My point and shoots are usually a little fuzzy. :) But Drake bought me a new camera for my birthday and I can't wait to put it to use!
