Jeesh, someone might think I am a moody goth chic.

Berlin and Naked Eyes

Our friend Jeff (who works at Family Guy with Mark) invited us to go to the Starlight Bowl here in Burbank to see Berlin ('The Metro')and Naked Eyes ('Always Something There To Remind Me') perform the other weekend. It was a beautiful 80's flashback night. I was actually very psyched to go! Everyone brought amazing food and wine to share, and we felt like teenagers again. Except we had wine and gourmet food instead of Mountain Dew, Ruffles and French's onion dip.
The Starlight Bowl is this amazing natural ampitheatre up in the mountain. Back in the day, all the greats played there. It was a very family styles atmosphere. (Actually I heard that the Bowl asked Berlin to censor the song 'Sex', and they refused to.) The kids were not even paying attention anyway.
Here are some pics of the night. Some blurry ones of the bands playing, and some of the fabulous spread of food and fun folks we went with. That's Jeff and his partner Rich in the closeup.
Gee, I miss being able to be outside.

Cats, Wedding, Lisa Gerrard

While on the plane Sunday, Mark and I had fun passing time by looking through the thousands of pictures we have taken of our cats. I don't care how pathetic it seems that
1. we have thousands of pictures of our cats, or
2. that we look through them for fun.
We noticed that Clouseau started very early in perfecting his lounging poses. This cat is way more comfortable reclining than any other position.

We went to Mark's step-brother Ken's wedding in Orlando this past weekend. (yes, I just returned from Florida a week and a half ago)
The wedding was the usual array of beautiful bride, handsome groom, drunk groomsmen, yummy food, corny DJ, etc. Mark and I enjoyed seeing family that we rarely get to see. And I met many members of my new family for the first time. And we pretty much stayed in the hotel the whole 36 hours we were there. And we spent a total of 20 hours travelling. And I don't really like being on airplanes much. *sigh*

And last week Mark and I went to see Lisa Gerrard in concert at the Orpheum Theatre, an old opera house. The LA Times reviewed the show here. Thanks to Dez, I found out about it in time to buy tickets. Thank you, Dez! I basically sobbed with emotion the whole time. I was still floating the next day. The most beautiful sounds ever made by a human being, weaved into compositions of music. I can die more satisfied now.
