Last Minute Pays Off

Will and I rarely have life planned out too far in advance. Its not that we are last minute, late to the party, anti-planning, anti-organization. We just don't have a social calendar that books out months in advance. Which is kinda nice - I mean, we're both total homebodies. And hanging out at home with Will is good times in my book. But, last minute plans that get us out of the house are always fun and add a little spontaneity to life.

Will's former (boss/coworkers/friend/person - his job is a little free-form) called us last week to let us know that she was in town for the Monolith Festival and did we want free tickets? Ummm... sure!

One of my big regrets is that I didn't get a chance to go to a concert at Red Rocks this summer. If you live in Colorado, you have to have to have to go to concerts there. I'm sorry, the Pepsi Center and Fiddler's Green (or whatever Fids is called these days) is just not good enough. Red Rocks is where its at (two turntables and a microphone). Last summer we rocked out to Daft Punk and it was a total highlight of the year. This year though... not so much.

So, Jenny (Will's person) got us out of the house for some social time, got us to Red Rocks, and we got to catch up with her.

The concert itself had elements of fantastic. I love me some Vampire Weekend and they were really really good live. Plus, we learned of two new-fangeled bands that we really liked - Holy F**k! and Cut Copy. Good times folks - check them out!

We partied like rock stars with our Artist/Media passes and flashed our fancy wrist bands to get access to the artist tent for drinks & food & hobnobbing. We may have been rubbing elbows with the bands, but we're old and didn't recognize any of the young folks there.

All in all, it was a great day out of the house - and in the outdoors. And totally unplanned, which I think may have made the day even better.
