spoon

Somehow, in the craziness of last week and birthday-party preparations, I forgot to blog on Friday. Whoops.But I *did* do something fun that day! I went to a rock show. WITH MY HUSBAND. ON A DATE. Oh man, was that necessary.We started out by grabbing dinner at one of my new favorite spots, PinKU -- which specializes in Japanese Street Food (and is super reasonable and delicious). If you haven't been, I suggest it. Get the crispy shrimp.And then we went over to St. Paul to see Spoon play at the Palace Theater. Frankly, I cannot begin to count how many times I've seen them play because I've seen in stores and SXSW performances and First Ave shows (and Divine Fits shows as well -- which I LOVED even more than the Spoon shows).Right when we walked in we ran into two great friends, and then as I was shooting from the pit I saw another friend piled right up front (if you know him, you're not surprised). And then I got home and saw online that I had even more friends there! FRIENDS! WE NEED TO COORDINATE THIS BETTER! But really, I'm just happy so many fine people enjoyed the show.Here are a few more shots from the show. For your internet shares of the day:+ I want this book for Christmas please. PRETTY PLEASE.+ These doppelgangers made me laugh!+ EXACTLY. PREACH IT.
