Ft Worth Trip

Yeehaw. Back from Ft Worth! As you can tell, there has been A LOT of travel this month. Not just for me, Mike as well. While I was in Boston, he was in Vegas. While I was in Ft Worth, Mike was in Sandusky, Ohio. This all happened and both of us were traveling during our 1st wedding anniversary!

Ft Worth was pretty boring. Just another retail trade show. The highlight? We met Joe Montana! Cool Joe! I shook his hand twice! I love celeb sightings! I even talked to him. 9er fan for life yo! (ok, that's a little exaggerated than my actual love for the 9ers, but it made me like them a little more). :)

Beantown trip

I just spent a couple of days in Boston for my team's quarterly meeting. I didn't see as much of the city as I would've liked, but I definitely want to go back for a longer and more pleasurable visit! We had dinner at a 225 year old restaurant that served wonderful clam chowder! It was great!

One night while the crew hit up a cigar bar, I went and met up with my friend Robyn as she was in town at the same time for work! We had drinks at some  bar and it felt straight out of Sex & The City! Nothing like a couple of cosmos shared between a couple of close girlfriends in a big city, not of our own!

The trip back was absolutely horrible. I had a layover in Phoenix. My flight left late...then there was a sandstorm...and I had to run through the airport....just to watch my connecting flight to San Jose leave without me...and with 40 empty seats!

After standing in the customer service line, Useless Airwarys put me up in a Quality Inn in Tempe, AZ. I got harassed by a maniacal lady foaming at the mouth, missed the shuttle due to crazy crowds and FINALLY ended up at this "Quality" Inn. First off, the maniacal lady tried to stay in my room as the airline didn't comp her room (or was it because she harrassed the folks in the customer service line so much that security had to usher her out). THEN, as I walked to my room, I recalled seeing this place before...in any episode of Law & Order where they find the bad guys in some crack deal. There were cops dealing with complaints, rabit cats, and of course, the rampant maniacal woman roaming the hallways. The room was 100+ degrees when I arrived which explained the nasty mold growing everywhere. Luckily, I woke up at 4am to catch the first flight out. I was SO happy to NOT see that crazy lady on the shuttle ride back. I did not need to hear her freak out and scream and smell foul any longer! Luckily, Mike greeted me at the hotel and life started to feel normal again back in San Jose. Ahhh

Dave Matthews Greek Theater Weekend!

DMB has been on tour and they just made their way to the Greek Theater! First time they've played there in 14  years (so, obviously, I hadn't seen them there until now). Its the first time seeing them live without LeRoy after his untimely death last month.

I saw them twice this weekend. Friday night, Mike & I went with Erin & Gil (Gil's first time!) I almost got us lost on the way up there (whoops, me? Never)...by almost getting us stuck going over the Bay Bridge during rush hour traffic. (Thank you Gil for saving us about 2 hours of hell!)

We arrived and Erin & I enjoyed our tradition of drinking MGDs in the car. BTW, this is our 4th & 5th time seeing DMB together....also my 9th and 10th time seeing DMB live. The show was AWESOME! They had a great set list and we had a fantastic time!

Saturday, Erin & I came back for another round of great music, great conversation and great times. ....oh yeah and another round of MGDs in the car. Gotta Love it!

I can't wait for next year for our 6th trip to see the best band ever live together!
