Trip to Evansville





This past weekend, we decided to take a trip to Evansville. The trip down was pretty bumpy until we got up above 6000+ ft. The way back was much smoother though! It looked pretty sunny from the ground, but once we got up, it was a little hazy, so my picture of downtown Indy isn't that clear.

House of Blues: AKA Rathskeller

This week is our 8th anniversary, so Mr. Magoo and I decided to go out to celebrate over the weekend. We headed downtown for some duck pin bowling, when we realized that there were about 4 events going on, and we were headed right for all of the traffic. I suggested we head to the Rathskeller, to start, since we were both hungry. As luck would have it, that night was a blues band. We ordered our food, and waited for them to start. When we were in Vegas, we wanted to see a blues band, so naturally we went to the House of Blues. There they had a country band?!? Then we end up at a German Restaurant in Indianapolis, and they have a blues band? Something is messed up...

Anyway- they were really good! We were surprised, because when they came in to set up, there was only one guy of the 4 that actually looked like a blues player. The bassist had to be our favorite to watch. Not because he was playing well, but because of several other reasons 1) He looked Polish 2) He had strange facial expressions 3) He had a strange sway during the music (he would bend one knee, then the other, and looked quite stiff during the whole process) 4) After each song he would say something to the lead guy (Gene Deer), who was awesome by the way, and that guy would look at him like "don't talk to me"

We were trying to figure out if this was a real band, or if the singer just gathered these guys together to have full band for the evening. What we came up with is that they barely knew each other really. The band was made up of 4 people of all ages. They didn't really talk much before their set began, and I just can't imagine these people hanging out!

In good news, I am happy to report that The Rathskeller is SMOKE FREE!

PS. I have a picture of the guy who I'm talking about. It is on Mr. Magoo's phone, which I happened to run through the washing machine this morning! Oops! Once it dries out, I'll be able to post up the picture!

All About the Earth

My Dad and I were driving along today and saw a GIANT Chevy Tahoe in front of us at a light. I noticed that they had an environmental license plate, which I thought was rather amusing. As soon as I said something to him about the license plate, we looked up and saw the driver flick a cigarette butt onto the road. Ah yes...how we all love nature!

Then again, maybe they felt the license plate was their way of paying back for what they were getting ready to do....

V-Dub in Da Haus

This is one of the greatest commercials I've seen in a while. The more you watch it, the funnier it is! http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/ads/new-vw-ads-in-da-haus-156737.php Go to the second commercial.

"It tis definitely sucking"

Why?

Last night I put away a new batch of diapers. As I was opening them I saw something that was an expiration date?!? What? Why would diapers expire? Even more strange is that it expired 12/06, which isn't even a year after they were purchased? If anyone can rationally explain this, they win a prize. All other comments will receive honorable mention.

My camera has no battery, so this is from my camera phone, but I bet you can't even tell the difference in quality. Ha Ha!

Not too much going on today. I thought I'd post up a picture that I took recently.

Random Thought: Everything should be wrinkle-free! I hate ironing!

Trip Pictures






Here are a few more pictures of the trip. The one on the left is me standing in front of New York, New York. That was one of my favorite hotels. There seems to be lots going on, and they have a version of SoHo there. The Blue Man one, is pretty obvious, I would hope! :)


















This picture I think was taken at the Monte Carlo. I just remember we were walking, and on our way back to the hotel, when it caught my attention.
