Switchfoot at the Canyons in Park City

Tonight (Monday), Rosie and I ventured up to Park City once again to see Switchfoot at the Canyons resort. The show was free. We got up there early enough to have a pretty good spot in the crowd, however the high school kids got real excited and we had to bail from the crowd in fear that we'd get crushed and trampled. To your right you'll see Switchfoot, in all its glory rocking out with the song "Stars," their most famous song these days. There was a good opening band which came out first, followed by some fireworks.

The concert was pretty good, however it was pretty darn cold. We were all bundled up in our winter outfits including the new hats and rosie's scarf we bought prior to going to the show at the canyons. We also stopped by a shop at the Canyons and picked up some hand warmers which proved to be an awesome move since our hands were instantly frozen when we got up there.

Here is Rosie looking warm.

Here I am trying to be cool...i know what you're thinking...

and here we are...
and here we are again...
Amber and Christian joined us...they just got engaged!!

We left the mountain a little early and found a cool little cafe in park city to grab a late bite to eat. It was good and suprizingly cheap.

Well, thats about it for now. Love you all!

Friday Night at Velour

Last night we went to Velour, the new local music venue in downtown provo, created by Cory Fox. Its a great place to play and a great place to watch some of the local artists that Rosie and I know. The first pic is of the band The Hideout; my friend Adam is the guitarist (left). They sounded great, including their cover of MJ's "Beat It" with guest vocalist Joshua James (with some sweet moves!). Joshua James and the Southern Boys played second and rocked the show. I was a little disappointed because the crowd was so loud, but they had a great show, as always. Joshua James has one of the most unique sounds around and I sure hope he makes something of his success so far. They rocked it with their classics: Tennessee, Glory from a Mountain, and Halelujah, along with Josh's newer song "Lovers without Love like Me." The headliner, a band we see very often around here, was the Matt Lewis band. They had a long set list with a lot of new songs that Rosie and I are finally getting to know good enough to start to sing along to. I recommend anyone who is a fan of rock, reggae, or any other kind of music that just sounds awesome to check these guys out. I think they've got some energetic music and Matt Lewis, the lead singer is always coming up with original freestyle rhymes throughout the whole show. I am told that Chad, the basist is getting married tomorrow, so congratulations to him and his significant other!! We've been friends with all of these guys for a while and the cool thing about going to their shows is that all of these guys are always out thanking us for coming. There are a lot of great people out in the local music scene and we're glad to know a lot of them. Its fun to get out and see them along with all the friends and fellow fans of these bands. On the right you see a somewhat blurry picture of Rosie and I on the front row of this new venue. I'm sure you'll see more posts with other bands that we follow around and do our best to support. Tonight we're planning on going to see G. Love and Special Sauce up in Park City, where the Sundance Film Festival is going on. Perhaps we'll see some famous people...we'll have our new camera!! Love you all!!

Digital Upgrade!!!

Rosie and I just invested in a digital camera to make our lives so much easier (to document, that is)!! We had to rush to Salt Lake late tonight to find an in-stock Cannon PowerShot SD400 Elph digital camera at Circuit City. I priced cameras for a couple days before deciding on this one (google it and check it out!) We didn't have much time to play around with it last night cuz we went strait to Jordan Commons to see Chronicals of Narnia (excellent film!), so this is our first picture taken in my car with the new camara. As you can see, it works pretty good!! All I had to do was plug it into my computer and WAH-LAH, I can post pictures so easy!!! The main motivation for this digital upgrade was the disaster with our Hawaii trip pictures. A good number of them got damaged somehow and so we were both a bit upset. Having this camera will solve that problem as well as allow us to take a lot more pictures and more easily add them to this blog (to keep all you people coming back for more!!) We will be posting the pictures that came out well from our recent trip to Hawaii very soon, so keep checking back. We love you all!!
