This weekend marks
the third weekend
in a row
that I’ve taken
a road trip outta town.

Little Rock, Arkansas
was the target this time around.
Cory Branan set up
a last minute show,
so we made a night of it.

Checked into the Hilton
where we made our own
hotel bar.

At the show I met Starr Crow,
a fellow Arkansas vintage seller & blogger!
It was so great to talk to someone face to face about
vintage,
photography,
and all the fashion bloggers we follow.
Check out her blog and Etsy shop!

Before the night was done…
we jumped for joy.
(and for more beer)

We devoured a fourth meal back at the hotel.

And at three am
we spent five minutes
nervously trying to jump the fence
to the hotel pool.
When all of the sudden
we watched two dudes
just open the gate
and walk right in.
Funniest part of the evening right there.

After just a few hours of
restless hotel sleep
and an 11 o’clock checkout time,
we headed home
tired, but happy.

Caravans and Cauldrons

Thursday night, Cathy and The Fiances (the name of our do-whop group, if we ever decide to have one) drove over to Little Rock for a night of big rock. American Princes had their CD release show and The Good Fear opened, so us girls decided to follow ’em down. After missing two out of the two interstate exits that we had to take to find the show AND dodging a cracked out guy who persisted that he “was not a robber,” we ladies got there just in time for tequila shots and the begining of the show.


Taken!

The (Damn) Good Fear

After the show we walked over to this old abandoned house, well, frame of a house. Brian and Tim jumped the fence and explored, while the rest of us just stood back and snapped grainy pictures in the dark. After a 1:30 am trip to Taco Bell, our four-car caravan ended up at a pricey Holiday Inn where with a sink full of Busch Light, things got a little crazy (especially with Cathy’s hair straightener).


All the dudes got their hair did & proceeded to take “MySpace band photos”

Bongos

The next day we found every kind of food we could imagine at some sort of indoor market downtown. After a nice little picnic by the river, we hunted down a record store, a witch boutique (?), and finally the city’s art museum. By the time we were fully recovered from the night before, we were on our way back to the ‘Ville.
