Ok, my week was very exciting. On Monday I took off after my last class and made it home in 4 1/2 hours. The reason? and I were going to see the Mad Caddies. We were uber stocked because the last time we saw them the concert was so awesome. The venue this year was a little scuzzy, but since it was in town it was kind of nice to not have to drive to Seattle.

When we first got there, we went to use the bathroom and there was a man in there. It was actually really fun because Sam and I both did a triple take between looking at the sign and the guy. He apologized and left. We later figured out it was Keith from the Caddies. Of eff we had a love trapped and let him escape. Anyway the opening band was rather terrible. Why they have death metal bands play at ska concerts I will never understand. Most ska/reggae fans aren't into that. The second band was way better. They were really silly and fun to dance too. Then it was time for the Caddies. Oh my gosh we were smack dab in front and I got to look at a delicious Sasha the whole time! They played a really great variety of old and new stuff. The people around us also weren't crazy, which is always a bonus.

As for getting to talk to the band, it's a little hard when you are not 21. We saw Sasha and Chuck go into the bar but were to nervous to approach them before they went in. Sam did get the set list from Sasha and we got to meet Ed outside and he took pictures with us and signed it. Ed is so nice and easy to approach!

So after I got back to school I had to preform on Wednesday for Dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead). It is kind of like a Mexican Halloween. We had been working really hard and spent a lot of prep time on our make-up. Half of our faces were painted like skeletons for the occasion. There was a lot of people and really good food. Our performance went really well except for the part where our music like paused and we just looked at each other. But we recovered so it was ok. Everyone really seemed to like us and we put a good name out for our team. This was our first performance so it was really important to make a good impression.

So now dance is going to have some down time to be really prepped for basketball season, which won't start until after break. School is picking up though so my concentration has to go there.
