Seattle Rock Orchestra

The show on Tuesday was amazing. I will just post this review by the stranger (complete with youtube videos!!).


There is also a video of our one and only rehearsal.

Also, there is a video that a guest in attendance posted on youtube, that isn't very good, but here it is.

You can only see me a little bit in the rehearsal video, and not at all in the other ones (Mom). It isn't worth explaining where I am.


Anyways it was so much fun. I had ten friends show up! 2 were surprise friends:
Nolan, Daniel, Nathan, Annie, Lindsey, Tim, Ashley, Nik, Adam and Rachel (the surprise guests! - they were the ones whose wedding I went to this summer).

Sugar Pie

Halloween was a good time. I went to Value Village (which is the equivalent of Goodwill) ON halloween for my costume (what was I thinking?). I had decided to be a pumpkin, and I was looking for orange pants to go with my orange shirt. Instead, I found an amazing orange dress for 4.99. We have a lot of scrap fabric in the house, so I stitched a carved face on it. I cut up an old tank top with green straps and wrapped them around my hair for vines.
We went to a friends house. John Schueller, one of the managers at the store, and his wife had an adorable party. She spent a lot of time and energy decorating and it looked great. The only down side is the fact that they just moved into their new house. Their house is in Greenwood, which is further North than Nolan's place of work. We didn't plan for the last bus home (which was stupid of us), so were calling cab companies that weren't answering. It was not only Halloween, but Halloween on a Saturday night. In Seatttle. Needless to say we waited a while to get home.
1. A punkin
2. Angela, Devin, Amber (Rambo, Sausagefest, Garden Gnome)
3. John as a Jockey!
4. Nolan (a non Halloween enthusiast) and Amber
Also, I just got an email from Scott (the guy organizing the Seattle Rock Orchestra) saying that the show on the 17th is already sold out! Ahhh!
