delta spirit

I got to see Delta Spirit perform last night at the Old Rock House in Soulard.  It was a spontaneous decision brought on by an invite from a friend. (Those are sometimes the best night's out, in my opinion.)  The venue was awesome, and we enjoyed the concert from outside on the patio, in the main concert area, and upstairs on the balcony.

Delta Spirit is one of those bands that you can listen to for hours.  I melted when they played "California" and danced awkwardly to "People C'mon."  It was a great night, and I can't wait until they come back to St. Louis. 

You can listen to their newest album here, and the band is offering six free downloads of some of the songs they will perform on tour here.

Happy listening!

scenes from a weekend

painting, pizza, park, pooch and yours truly pal-ing around with a friend 


This weekend was gorgeous with minimal rain.  I found myself working on a commission of three paintings for someone's living room, walking Dusty around a beautiful park nearby, and going to a concert in the Grove.

On Friday night, some friends and I also tried our hands at pizza making.  Trader's makes it so easy to make (read: assemble) your own pizza.  They have pre-made dough (the whole wheat is my favorite), tons of cheeses to choose from (we went with goat cheese), roma tomatoes for a song, and fresh basil.  Not to mention a variety of  red and white sauces.  I will definitely be going back for more dough and toppings soon.  We ended the night with brownies and Morning Glory.  It was a fun and much needed girls' night.

It must have been a movie and pizza weekend because on Sunday I found myself grabbing California Pizza Kitchen with an old friend before going to see Friends with Kids.  We both thought the movie was funny, sweet, and worth seeing.  Then Dusty and I got another walk in around the neighborhood.  He is loving that the nice weather means longer walks!

Hope you had a great weekend, too!
