So a couple of things...
First, Jeff and I went to the Roseland Theatre last Monday night and saw our favorite band - Coheed & Cambria. Let's just say I was a bit out of my league. I wish my husband would have prepared me a bit more for the standing room, body surfing, jumping craziness it was. I'll admit that the first few songs I was having a really hard time enjoying because everyone was crashing into me from every angle, sweat and all. I finally realized that I'd have to get over it, and did. I ended up having a really good time. We were SUPER close to the band and they were just ridiculously awesome. The sound quality wasn't the greatest, whoever was mixing it all didn't do that great a job. But man, I'd go see them again in a heartbeat. Besides, Claudio is still my #1 famous person crush. :) I loved the mushroom hair while he was playing. I'll let Jeff tell you the technical details since I suck at that, but I'll just say... it was awesome!!
These aren't my pictures, because my phone sucks at taking them, but these are ones I found online, and look exactly like where we were and what they were like.
Oh, and we picked up the Armory Wars (with the special edition cover - see below) while we were there, since we've had a hard time finding it. After reading the comics and listening to the music, it's amazing how much everything makes sense. These guys are just incredible artists, and for Claudio to come up with such a complete concept work is impressive. Go to their comic website evilinkcomics.net if you want more info.
The rest of the week was pretty low key. I finally went in on Thursday to have the miscarriage induced, since it wasn't really happening on it's own. It was a hard day on Friday, but I'm just relieved that things are pretty much over. I feel like I can finally start moving on a bit more.
Saturday I needed to get out so we went downtown with our friend Mike for a standard trip to Powell's and Tea Zone and then the new Chronicles of Narnia movie, which was really good. I enjoyed it a lot, and am glad they took some liberties with the book to make it a more "impressive" movie. Obviously I didn't like the "love" interest deal, but hey it's Hollywood. I guess they had to go there, and it wasn't so bad that I was angry or anything. The only thing that kept me from enjoying the movie to the fullest were the three girls who sat behind us. I got so fed up with them oohing and aahhing at the introduction of every Narnian creature and commenting on Reepicheep's cuteness EVERY time he came on screen that I got up and moved half way through the film. I was hoping my husband would follow me, but I guess it only bothered me that much. I REALLY can't handle running commentary during movies when I'm in the theater. It drives me absolutely crazy. I don't mind people whispering comments every now and then but COME ON ladies!!
Anyway... I'm now at work and working hard (obviously :). It's Sunday, so it's slow. I only work 8 hours today (yay me!) and then I have tomorrow off. The family is all getting together tomorrow for BBQ, which will be pretty fun. I hope everyone has a good Memorial Day.

So I have to share a concert story...(I can't remember if I told you or not) Erik took me to this club downtown to see High on Fire (a metal band) and I also was trying to enjoy myself. I liked the first band, but only made it half way through the second before I fainted...out cold! I didn't even make it to the band we went there to see! So sad for Erik! I am glad you were able to enjoy your concert in the end ;)
