THE SWELL SEASON INDEED:

I was lucky to get to see one of my favorite bands, The Swell Season, play the Hollywood Bowl last night in LA.  The Bowl is one of the most amazing venues i’ve ever been too so it was ideal–you can bring your own food and drink, eat surrounded by the Hollywood hills, the Hollywood sign is behind the stage, the weather and sound are perfect etc.  awesome.  It’s also huge–18,000 seats.  (as you’ll see in my picture, above, I was in the nose bleed–don’t hate!  i always sit back there. the crowds are rowdy and it’s super cheap.  plus, i love watching the act over the crowd–it blows my mind to see 18,000 people watching too.  i can’t even imagine…).  Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are an amazing duo and each had their moments of jaw-dropping performances.  I wanna talk about Glen though–he was a freakin’ animal.  Seriously was one of the best performances i’ve ever seen.  His voice is so raw and beautiful at the same time.  He’s also blessed with ‘chords of steel’ meaning his voice never seems to get tired.  (that asshole).  Not only was the music heart-wrenching but he was also hilarious and engaging.  I wasn’t sure what to expect–their music is very melancholy and subdued so i guess i was expecting a similar stage demeanor.  false.

If you don’t already own their records do your self a favor and get them.  they’re amazing.

ok–fan geek-out session concluded.

What is you favorite concert you’ve seen?

TURQUOISE + CARROTS = ?

if you’re following me on twitter you’d know that i asked for MANNfans advice last week.  I was to attend a dinner party where attendees had to prepare parts of the meal using assigned colors and foods.  Some people got ‘red + pasta’ and even ‘green + apples’.  i think those people must have been super dense in the kitchen as any moron could figure out what to do with said foods.  MY assignment wasn’t so easy–or natural.  I got TURQUOISE + CARROTS!  WTF.

Proving that i’m also a moron i startged googling ‘how to turn carrots blue.’  yes, i did.  google was stumped.  i know that was a serious problem.  Then i thought I’ll make a sweet potato, pineapple and carrot casserole and put marshmallow or coconut on top (as we do in the south) but i’d dye the white topping turquoise.  The rules are just that the color and food are to be combined.  I later found out, after attending the dinner, that people brought their foods in dishes that were their assigned color.  i found this offensive and lazy.

While at the store looking for some way out of this predicament it dawned on my how dumb i really was–CARROT CAKE WITH TURQUOISE ICING!  duh!  and how simple!  so i made the cake (out of a box–who am i kidding–but it was really freakin good) and got neon food coloring.  using my Primary Colors Scientist’s hat i deduced that a couple drops of blue and a few less of green made turquoise.  Ta dah!!!  mission completed.  Everyone was fairly blown away at the accuracy of my food–and it tasted pretty dern good too.

WHY IS MY EYE TWITCHING?

i don’t really have any elaboration on this header.  my eye is twitching.  it is annoying.
