Lazy Sunday

this weekend I had absolutely no plans! it was nice thinking about having nothing to do all weekend....and a little boring. friday ended up being ok, because i had to work and then my new friend shea invited me to hang out on her friend's roof. it was perfect for what i was wanting- hanging out but not being too crazy. it started raining so i ended up getting home around 12. perfect timing for my old sleepy butt! saturday i woke up around 8 (super late for me!) and headed to the gym for a bit before lounging around and then checking out a museum in the afternoon. today i woke up and went for a run/walk and then headed to the national equality march. in case you didn't know, it was this huge march for the lgbtq community to get equal rights for marriage and all that. i am a big supoorter of this cause, not just for my friends (and my bff eric!) but just because i'm in awe that in a time where we are so "open minded" people have these ridiculous ideas about gay marriage. and the majority of the people who are against it use absurd comments to back up their views. nobody will want to marry their goats!!! and if they do, who cares?!?! also, many of these people are so in favor of THEIR freedom but when it comes to someone else's freedom who has a different lifestyle than theirs, they are the first to deny their rights as an american. anywho, i went and took some photos! and i got some funny stuff to show ya'll!!!


if you can't read this cute little kids' t-shirt it says "got dads?" ha ha!!

this adorable little puppy had a shirt that says "i'm the straight one" HA!!

bear

so i was trying to be incognito but this was the unofficial uniform of the march. the american apparel shirt that says "legalize gay" in purple or turquoise. i didn't take pictures of everyone who had one on, but i'd say about 50% of the people had one on.

rainbow segueway!! (i have no clue how to spell that word, by the way, so i guessed!)

Rain+Dillo Dirt+ACL= FUN!!!!!

This weekend was ACL!! Hooray! One of my favorite festivals of all time- although, I haven't been to many festivals! I took my camera on Friday. I got to see: Dr. Dog (yay!), Phoenix (so good!), Raphael Saadiq (he was AWESOME live- amazing voice), John Legend (who played my favorite Beatles song, how could I not love it?!?!), Them Crooked Vultures (eh) and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They were so super awesome great! Karen O (the lead singer) is so amazing. She changed costumes, rocked out on stage and had an amazing stage presence. I was beyond blown away! Here are some pics of the first day:

beth is such a great little muse for me!

after, LP came and picked me up and we went and met some friends out at a bar. i was exhausted though, so i could only make it out anout an hour. sleepy!!!



Saturday, there was 70% chance of rain. I decided not to take my camera and thank goodness! I saw the BEST LIVE SHOW maybe possibly ever. A band called !!! (pronounced chk chk chk) and they rocked my face off. then we saw flogging molly and bon iver. it was a downpour the entire time. i'm so glad i didn't bring my camera! but luckily, i DID bring it sunday. um, yuck. it was this gross, wet, muddy, smelly barnyard of a place sunday. we found a grassy spot, parked it and listened to: white lies, arctic monkeys, passion pit, ben harper, girl talk and i was going to stay for pearl jam but the smell, mud and my overall exhaustion was too much. i had to leave. this is why:
