kristin & the big pink

Friday we met up at Brasserie 10/10 for some happy drinks in celebration of Heidi's b-day. Steph had to cut out a bit early for swimming. After the 10/10 happy hour ended, the ladies were off to some more bar hopping, but I headed back to milo to cook up a za.

Saturday evening we headed over to the nook for a final round of drinks. We had planned on going to a last minute party at Heidi's house afterwards, but wound up just chillin' at the nook.

Sunday I went for a run around waneka, then watched the rockies game. Later on the fam met up at Bacaro for dinner with Kristin who was in town on business.



I had to leave a bit early and head to the Bluebird for the Big Pink show. A Place to Bury Strangers opened, and it was a mouthful of sound, and lots of smoke. I was standing right next to where they packed up all their gear after their set, and they were just jamming pedals, electronic drum pads, projectors, and whatever else into suitcases and bags - it was fairly comical how completely unorganized they seemed.



The Big Pink delivered yet again, and we got a longer set this time, possibly because they started on time. They threw in a b-side and a new track as well. I am rather looking forward to a follow up album soon.



A full day & night, and was home in bed by 12.30 - sweet!
