last friday, we met up with some friends for a concert in the chamber music northwest series. i'll write more on that in another post. after the concert, we met up at vault martini bar, and then j & i ended up at the
voodoo doughnut shop. the selection was limited, so i was a little disappointed with what we got, but the visit definitely took care of my doughnut craving. because we ended up at the doughnut place around 1am, the next day, saturday, was a sleep-in-stay-at-home-get-errands-done kind of day. i never quite ended up waking completely up. i made some quiches for the week...took a nap or two... we watched a good movie - "12 and holding" -which was twisted, but with a well-resolved ending. sunday was busy - i went running while j went mountain biking with friends in the morning. we went to a housewarming party in the afternoon, and then saw the decemberists play at mcmenamins' edgefield location in the evening. i guess the summer concert series is a new thing, and i really liked the venue. the concert was sold out, but it wasn't crowded, and i didn't feel claustrophobic as i normally do in large groups of people. we arrived late because we had the party beforehand, and still ended up with v.i.p. parking close to the entrance. the people we parked next to were having a little tailgate party, and they gave us some free pbr. nothing like a chugged pabst - whoowhee! some friends of ours had some extra tickets, which is why we ended up at the concert in the first place. we weren't familiar with the band, so probably didn't get as much out of the concert as most people there, but it was fun to be outside, with lots of people, listening to music, smelling the summer air. we didn't get rained on, despite the week's rainy & cloudy weather, so it was a good time, and a fine ending to a full weekend.
