Weekend Update

I realize it's only Saturday, but since I'm expected back to the pelvic palace tomorrow, I figured I would update today.

1. Rio Tinto Stadium
IT WAS AUSSOME! The stadium is so nice and even though there were a few mishaps, the night was great. We gave Erik our extra ticket and it was fun to spend some time with him. We met our new neighbors for the next season. Dora and her husband seem nice, and their youngest son was a crack up. We taught him all about the usual goalie harassing call, the blind ref chant, and the ambulance taunt. I can't say as much about the weather. As usual, we had the entire week of fall and have crept straight to winter. Time for the depression to set in. We tied 1-1, which kinda sucked.

2. The bodies exhibit was so cool! I met the brunette mafia, and our newest member Jen at the Leonardo. We got out tickets and went to lunch across the street. I was concerned that I would be freaked out by the exhibit, but the only thing that bothered me was their eyes! I finally had to ask someone if they were real. I'm happy to report that everything is real except the pupil and iris. Evidentally, once they plastinate someone the eyes get cloudy...DUH! It's amazing to me that those bodies are real, for one thing, but that they are not held in pose by any wires at all. It was minutely creepy, but uber interesting.

3. The first concert was announced for our new stadium, none other than the Turtle! Kenny Chesney will be live at Rio Tinto Stadium, July 23rd. WOOHOO! I must be desperate for entertainment, because the brunette mafia and I are already making plans. The good news is that there are rumors about Brad Paisley going on the road with him next summer. It seems like forever since i've seen any live music. Jason Mraz is up next, but not til the end of the month.
