i put my new shoes on....

our dear friend mike did something special for us crazy old married folks. he gave us two tickets to a show at the world cafe that he was unable to use. it was a great opportunity for us parent-types to do something special and have a night out on the town. the band wound up getting lost on the new jersey turnpike and didn't go on until an hour after they were scheduled. but i am not complaining. matt and i got a chance to sit on the floor of the venue, people watch, talk, play with our camera and get out those much needed bathroom breaks.

chris thile and the how to grow a band played an amazing set. it was staggering to watch such amazing musicians. at one point my husband grabbed his hair and yelled "woah" when brian sutton tuned his guitar down, while playing, in order to hit some crazy low notes.

ok, so where do the new shoes fit in.... well, not that anyone cares but my mother in law found me the boots that i have been looking for all winter. did you ever get a picture in your mind (something you had seen or maybe something you thought up yourself) and everytime you went out to shop for something that picture haunted you and nothing quite measured up. my winter 2007 boots were out there somewhere i just had to find them... and finally did...AND i got to wear them out on saturday night for our date. it made me smile, oh and think of that song by paulo nutini "new shoes".
