Concert, Mac Store and More....
So this weekend was fun.
Friday night after work I got dressed up and went to a benefit piano concert being hosted at UVSC with Elwin. It was absolutely phenomenal. The Concert was called "Evening with John Schmidt" and this guy was not just an amazing musician the likes I have not seen in a very long time, but also an amazing performer that reminded me of the joy of watching Puzzle Box perform live. He was so funny. He had some pieces that were so breathtaking that my heart ached, some that were fun and got your heart pumping, and amongst it all he played to the audience making us laugh time and time again. When the two hours was over it felt like it had only been half an hour we were laughing so much. The whole audience was eating out of his hand so well that he actually played three extra songs and went over time (I'm sure the yells of encore had nothing to do with it). My favorites of his was one called "Renaissance Song", "Winter Wind", "North Pole Express", and "The Dumb Song". The dumb song was inspired by a tuna commercial that he saw, and he wore a hilarious long curly yellow haired wig through it for the end part where he plays the last notes by bashing his head into the piano. It was so hilarious.
Saturday Clint and I went to Salt Lake. It was slushing outside (where is autumn sob) so we took my car up to the Apple store so he could replace the stolen earphones to his Iphone. While waiting there I had much fun teasing the store clerk, chatting with Clint about various things and cracking many jokes about the similarity between my gay friends, and mac fans. One of which being they are both very trendy. We then went to the only Japanese market in Utah which is also in Salt Lake. I'm glad Clint was there because he got to see things he hadn't had since he was in Japan, and he could tell me what some of the various things were. I absolutely loved it, and came home with a new onigiri mold. We bought curry stuff for rice, and stuffed pork buns, wanton wraps, melonpan, and many boxes of poky, pucca, and other treats. They also had some tuna onigiri so we bought two to eat on the way home. They were delicious and I can't wait to start making my own. That night we finally had our D&D game at Vicky's. It was a blast. Everyone was laid back and cracking jokes. The game itself had no stagnant parts and we all got to have a moment of glory. We were battling an evil witch and undead which is always fun lol.
Sunday I played World of Warcraft and got my rogue to the outlands Hurray!!
It was my friends birthday so we all went out to Outback steak house (super delicious steak) and then watched some of our favorite anime "Worlds Strongest Disciple Kenichi" Sadly the next episode is going to be the last...cry.
Over all a very fun happy weekend.
