I can't believe the weekend is here already! Before it officially starts though, I want to document Last weekend. We had a blast! We decided to take a little road trip last weekend to see two of our favorite bands, Mates of State and Austra. Mates of State played on Friday night in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Austra played in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall.
Sooo we left early Friday afternoon on this adventure. We got to Vegas in time to walk around a little bit and then hit up the Urban Outfitters sales racks. Then saw the band play at 10. It was certainly a different setting than any show i've been to. Since it was at a casino the stage was awkwardly set in a corner meant mostly for background music. These guys are defiantly not just background music though! Then we hit the road until we were too tired to drive further.
In the morning we continued onto San Fran and got there around 1:30 to the cheapest decent rating hotel we could find. After having a horrific experience with Nadia in California a few year ago, the straight up cheapest is Never what I will do again! We weren't able to check in until 3:00 though so we went into town caught the American Apparel Flea Market which was waaaaayyy bigger than we ever expected! Then we made our way to Fisherman's Warf. I just love it down there. Sadly it got dark almost as soon as we got there but it is so fun to me to be down there. So many crazy people and I just love being so close to the water, I really hate living so far from the coast! Then we headed to our hotel and got ready for the show that night.
Austra played an amazing show. The Great American Music Hall is one of the coolest venues, it is a very old theater with beautiful architecture it was fantastic!
Then it was Sunday and we headed home! We stopped at ihop for breakfast in Sacramento ate delicious pancakes and by 1:30 am we were home again and back to work in the morning! Yes it was over 28hours of driving but we had so much fun together!
Cheers to many more adventures with such a wonderful husband!
Mates of State
