A music filled weekend

Friday night Ryan and I went to see Once. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It is a sweet story and the music is amazing. So amazing that we bought the CD on itunes when we got home. In addition to listening to the soundtrack, we also listened to the always entertaining Risky Biscuit Hayseed Hoot, a great folk, bluegrass, and country program broadcast every Saturday morning from good ol' Reno, NV. Check it out if that is your cup of tea. It is often funny and makes Ryan nostalgic for Reno. We also tuned in to NPR's broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion. The city life seems to create a hunger for an old-timey, folksy slice of Americana.
Saturday we went to the Ben Harper concert which was also amazing music. Ben Harper has incredible energy. The concert was at Radio City Music Hall a spectacular venue. We took a few pictures, but not many turned out because it was so dark. But this one is pretty cool. Sunday we went to church and then relaxed the rest of the day. We took a walk Sunday afternoon, and let me tell you that fall is in the air. This weekends weather was perfect, and I am so happy that cooler weather is here.

I have been wanting to see that movie "ONCE" for so long! I saw a random preview months before it even had a release date & I knew I would love it. glad to hear it was so good.

I don't have your email address - send me an email & I can put you on my "approved readers" list!

You have a fun life! Ben harper is amazing, I've seen him a couple of times and been very impressed-I was also probably high on second hand marijunas fumes by the time we left, but that is another story. Let's hang out soon!
