hollywood bowl

i am sure out of all the people that read this blog, maybe jimi, cindy and/or orrin woulld actually appreciate this. sunday night we went to the hollywood bowl, which is sorta like a mix between riverbend and sawyer point ampitheatre with the mountains and the hollywood sign in the background. the worlds largest ampitheatre.(www.hollywoodbowl.com) anyway i saw the arcade fire and david bryne (for people like me, he is the former lead singer for that talking heads). the show really wasnt all that impressive, but i am hard to please, and not being one that really likes concerts in general...it was awesome though, we had wine, cheese, crackers, caramel popcorn and beer...you are allowed to bring it in. passing around fresh strawberries and pineapples. and socializing. there was me tiff trina snow colette jon nessa joel matthew john janet her son and husband? a couple of their friends and 2 other people i dont remember their names. arcade fire was entertaining, david byrne stood there for most songs, then he brought in a marching band (cindy) from san diego, complete with girls with flags. well we thought they were girls, when all actuality they were VERY convincing drag queens. he did the burning down the house song and psycho killer...and the last song was "crazy in love" yes indeed the beyonce song...no encore...it was great environment and a chance to get to know people more. i was in one of those crazy chrissi quiet moods and they didnt know quite how to take it, they thought i was having a miserable time,but i wasnt, just taking it all in. ya'll jealous? on the 27th i am going to see blues fest with etta james!! oh i love it. then mosdef!! i need to get tickets before it gets sold out! or some sort of jazz experience. i am very excited.
anyway...thats it
