Vampire Weekend + Beach House

On Sunday
(the day after The Black Crowes)
I received a last minute invite to see
Vampire Weekend, Beach House, & The Very Best
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Um, yes please!

Although I was still a little sick
and I really needed to work,
I just couldn’t pass up
what could be the
last road trip of my twenties.
I was turning 30
in just a matter of days
and saw this as a way to
begin the celebration
just a lil early.

Taylor and I hit the road
on Monday afternoon.

We went around to different vintage shops
and of course stopped for photo ops.

So apparently the Chatter Box
has the “hottest ladies in down”
and just down the street we found
the creepiest store in town.

Back at the hotel
we listened to music,
popped some champagne,
and got dressed up for the show.

The show was SUCH a blast!
It was in an old theater but
we had “pit passes” so we could
dance, dance, dance.
The only bummer is that
security took my camera battery.
Apparently my camera is too fancy.
Big frown.

The evening wouldn’t be complete
without taking our taxi
through the Taco Bell drive-thru

Once we were safely back to our hotel
we stuffed our faces with a fourth meal
and then we had dessert, of course!

Thank you to Taylor
and her beautiful sister, Cameron,
who couldn’t go at the last minute
(but who we danced with in spirit)!

XOXO

Dr. Dog and Nina

Mondays are usually dreadful, right?
Not this week. Not in Fayetteville!

Dr. Dog and Deer Tick played at George’s.
And I took pictures.
Duh.

Drinks at Kingfish before the show.

As soon as we got to the show, we saw Scott,
one of the lead singers from Dr. Dog.

I introduced myself and mentioned that we had a common friend.
Her name is Nina.
She is an amazing photographer.
Not only has she taken photos recently for Dr. Dog…

When I told Scott about the Nina connection,
I mentioned the promise I made to her.

That I would take lots of pictures.

Without hesitation he got down on the floor
and made this appear out of Dr. Dog merch…

Everything sounded amazing.

And smiling.

I’ll always have a soft spot for Dr. Dog.
My dad walked me down the aisle at my wedding to
“Today” on Easy Beat.

Love.
