If they lived here, they wouldn't have to visit!

So this weekend I went to the Dave Matthews Band concert with my friends Roski and Katie as well as Roski's cousin Kevin. It was so good to see Roski and Katie again! I have know Roski for years since we had all of our accounting classes together at Purdue. He might actually be the sole reason I enjoyed going to class. I met Katie (Roski's fiance and a fellow Boilermaker) through Roski and thank goodness because we were meant to be friends! They both live in Chicago and I don't get to see them often enough so now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they move to Indiana sooner then later!

Roski is a huge Dave fan and got us some great seats! This was the first time I had been back under the pavilion since my high school graduation in 2002. I have to say there is HUGE difference from being in the lawn compared to being in pavilion seating. People in the lawn are there because they like the band but really just wanted to come and socialize with their friends in a different setting. And they can get away with more stuff b/c security isn't as stiff--though the security didn't stop the people a few rows in front of us...

People in the pavilion however paid more for their seats and actually came to see the band. Every person around me knew all the words to every song, they were all singing along and really enjoying themselves. One girl was even keeping track of all the songs by writing them down as they played! (Clearly she doesn't have your sweet application Roski!) No one was stumbling around or puking. I might have to swing for pavilion seating the next time I head to Deer Creek! It was also nice that Roski is such a fan because he could tell us whether the song was old or new and if we really liked it, what it was called. I have to say that I like the stuff on Dave's newest CD better then what was on his last two. I highly recommend obtaining a copy in one way or another. SO MANY people in the lawn!! The next concert I'm going to is Jason Mraz with G-love and Special Sauce in 2 weeks at White River State Park!

Other exciting things from the weekend, I bought my first long dress! I'm pretty excited about it. I didn't think I could wear one since I'm pretty short but I really like this one and I think I'm going to keep it. I've included a picture for your viewing pleasure.
I also got new tires on my car this weekend. I won't include a picture of those. They're not as exciting.

Brigid was also in town visiting this weekend from Dallas! It was so good to catch up! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on Friday night so I don't have any pictures. All the more reason for her to come back and visit again!!

In other unrelated news, my trainer is starting grad school in a few weeks so I now have to find a new one. I had a session with one of the other guys last night. While the workout was okay, I didn't love training with him. My current trainer makes fun of me on a personal level but is always very encouraging on a training level. This new trainer, while very nice, is not as encouraging. And he's not as funny. Nor is he as cute but it was a fluke accident that my current trainer is cute because I picked him purely based on his name. I think I'm going to have to try out someone else. Or start traveling to Bloomington twice a week! Part of this aversion to my new trainer might be that I don't really like change when I've found something I like. Kind of like me and Tempura Udon at Ocean World. I highly recommend it.

This weekend we're heading up to Munster for Holly's Bridal Shower! And afterwards, stopping in Crown Point for a delicious dinner at Fiesta Mexico (which I so lovingly call Little Mexico b/c I can never remember the real name). I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to come! I'll try to avoid putting up ones of just gift opening.
