Brian Regan
Sunday night Karen and I went to see Brian Regan! Karen had won free tickets through a radio music quiz (she had to guess what song it was after hearing a one second clip- she's awesome) and asked if I would like to come. I of course said yes!!! The show was at a restored theater downtown called the Paramount, which was beautiful. There were hanging chandeliers and giant tapestries.
We sat in what we referred to as "the winners section" since there were some other folks next to us who had also won a radio contest. Our seats were "Orchestra Center" and they were awesome.
We were pretty close and right in the center
Here is the man himself. Not a good picture (we couldn't use flash) but I promise it's him! He was absolutely hilarious. Even just watching him walk around was funny. He is definitely the most expressive person I've ever seen and it him even funnier in person. He had lots of new material, including a bit on the loud n' clear which was awesome, and took some requests for old stuff as well. I had heard people say that their jaw hurt from laughing after seeing him, and it's true! Mine definitely did!

outdoor activities
yesterday was a great day of outdoor activities. in the morning i went to the Heart of Virginia festival in Farmville, and it was awesome. the craft booths were excellent and i got a gift for someone and a sweet apron. (possibly a little known fact, but i love aprons. i try to wear one every time i'm cooking)
after saying farewell to Chris and Katie i headed back to Charlottesville where some folks had planned to come over for cornhole and our first attempt at grilling. my parents had a charcoal grill in their basement that wasn't being used (it was my oldest brother's back in the day) so i grabbed that and headed back home. with some help from those more experienced we got the grill going and it was a great afternoon. the evening was beautiful and we wanted to stay outside, so we had the idea of trying to watch a movie outside on the back of our house. we were able to get a projector (thanks dad!) and speakers (thanks Amber!) and rigged up a pretty excellent screen! we watched Maverick and it was like our own screen on the green!
as it got darker we set up all the equipment
the final product (not a great picture but you get the idea)
we definitely want to do it again sometime!
