I rarely have a girls night out if you know what I mean because the hubs and the babe are quite perfect company but Friday night was a special night where the hubs and his brother swooped over to a matinee of the most appropriate movie for a guy's afternoon, "Fast Five" and then my sis-in-law and I whisked over the kids so that we could head over to the Rooftop Concert Series.
I've wanted to go a zillion times but not being in the local area anymore + having a little baby who goes to bed early calls for no late nights out on the town. However, the hubs knew how much I wanted to see Mindy Gledhill and he did whatever he could to make it happen.
Sarah and I left the house kind of giddy to choose whatever we wanted to eat, in which, we mentioned all the same places and were pleasantly pleased to pick up some vegetable-herb filled yummyness at Guru's and then head over to the show. Don't even worry about the 2 prime parking spots I passed up thinking we could get closer, to then circle around 3 more times and end up back over by the restaurant to walk all the way back to the concert, no don't even worry about that. It was a beautiful night and we welcomed the walk.
We cozyied into a small open area in the front; for there was no way I was heading all the way to the super packed back of the roof top, and the pictures tell the rest....
Mindy sings just as dreamily as she does on her album + is gorgeous, Ryan Innes was a new to me + folksy awesome singer, and Meagan Smith told humorous stories through her soulful & captivating voice. And I must say, I thought it was amazingly cool that a small group of local people made all that happen.
Revived was the feeling of the night. Sometimes it's good to get out and do something that you really love and that you really admire. Mindy mentioned that her family is the reason she's able to do what she loves and I jotted that in my mental notebook. I want to do better at being the reason my family can express their talents, their passions, and their goodness.
Who's with me for the next concert?
