Weekend Highlights

sat

The majority of the weekend was very quiet with the exception of Saturday. I started off my Saturday with a bit of work at the office and then came home to the total mayhem that is an I/A Collective photoshoot! This week’s model was our dear friend, Kavita, who wanted a Suicide Girls-esque shoot. We had a blast picking out her outfits, fighting with bondage tape and jumping on beds. Basically, just another day at la Casa Sanchez. I do remember some video footage of a certain someone jumping on our bed in a leather bodysuit & a red cape speaking of how she “uses her powers for good,” but unfortunately I was not the one filming. So you’ll just have to take my word that it was an epic afternoon.

Later that night, we finally visited Yard House, the new “in” place to be in Miami. It’s located in Merrick Park in Coral Gables and boasts to have the world’s largest selection of draft beer. I was definitely not disappointed. The food was great, the beer was even better (I picked up 2 Dead Guy Ale’s) and of course, spending time with our closest friends is always appreciated. The only downside to the entire experience was the long wait to sit at a table. We waited over an hour and that was only because my friends placed a “call in” beforehand. I’ve heard horror stories from others that they have waited 3 hours + to get seated. So word to the wise: get there before 7pm if you don’t want a wait of epic proportion!

Lovable Friday!

1. HBO's True Blood
1. HBO's True Blood

Again, late on this bandwagon, huh? Augi and I don’t have HBO, but we heard quite a lot about this series will the first season was airing last year. Everyone told us we would love it since we are both pretty big vampire fans so we made sure to kick it up to the top of our Netflix queue when Season 1 was released on DVD last week. We are hooked! The 3rd DVD just arrived last night and we are gobbling them up! I have to say I was kind of disappointed with the pilot, but the episodes have gotten progressively better and now there is no turning back! Right now I think I am in the massive minority when I say that I favor Sam over Bill?

No Doubt Concert

I don’t even know where to begin with this review!!! It was easily one of the funnest (I know, not a word) nights I’ve had in a very very long time. I walked away to my car with two very aching feet and a big goofy smile on my face. I often feel like hitting the imaginary rewind button after shows, but this one definitely took the cake. I think I may even list it as my top concert of 2009 so far!

We got to the show early so that we could hang out with friends and tailgate a bit. We met some interesting characters, toasted under the Florida sun and drank entirely too much beer. While waiting outside, we were lucky enough to hear the band soundcheck a few songs such as Guns of Navarone, Rock Steady and New! I was thrilled! Shortly after, we went in to pick up our beautiful tour club tickets (along with other miscellaneous free goodies), checked out some merchandise and ate some grub before heading to our ridiculously awesome seats!

Rock Steady

1116

Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see No Doubt tomorrow, this closes out my concert season until October (when I’ll be seeing MUSE!) which makes my little musical heart very sad. And I want to give my sincerest apologies for the lack of cute boy today as it is Hump Day, but like I said – I’ve been playing catch up since returning from California and am still kind of settling back into the routine (regularly blogging being part of it). Hopefully I’ll be able to post a review on Thursday, but it will most likely be posted a little later than usual! And I promise I’ll be updating daily next week and have plenty of eye candy to share come next Hump Day. Deal? Deal.

So now to the show! No Doubt will be bringing their marvelousness to the Cruzan Amphitheater tonight in West Palm Beach, FL. I was lucky enough to score 10th row and center tickets so I am beyond stoked! Although I find Gwen’s solo records to be really fun, there is nothing like good old No Doubt to me. I’ve been a fan since I was 14 years old and this will be my second time seeing them live. The last time I saw them was probably about 7 years ago so this has been a long time coming! Best part? I get to share it with a No Doubt virgin: my husband! I love attending concerts with people that have never seen the band play – their reactions are always so amazing (well, when the band is amazing) & fun to watch. We’ll also be tailgating prior to the show so if you are going, join in on the pre-party 😉

ps; I better see some vintage Gwen push-ups tonight!
pps; Why are these adorable tees not available on the tour????
